Yoga pants are super comfy and my butt looks great.
Edit: Since a lot of the comments are the same I figured some of you might find this helpful.
Ah, I believe it's the 5th addition for PC. Amazon Link
Edit: Curse you google images!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005LBVS?pc_redir=1411834434&robot_redir=1.
It does not work on Windows 8.
Can't buy it first-hand anywhere (but you can pick up a ridiculously old boxed copy here: http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-Incredible-Toon-Machine/dp/B003OXCPFS), but it seems to be on many of the abandonware sites.
If you google the name and the word abandonware, odds are very good that you'll find a .ZIP file somewhere.
Math Missions Grades 3rd-5th?
Is it Read, Write and Type?
Dammit I played this one too. I don't remember those activities but everything else you described I recall vividly.
Edit:
I think this is it?
If not this one, it has to be another by SoftKey or The Learning Company. A partial list can be found here.
Edit 2:
Fairly certain this has got to be it. There was a hide and seek game in it too, right? In the forrest?
Black and White?
Jurassic Park Chaos Island (Not sure what's up with the Metro 2033 logo there).
DinoPark Tycoon
I'm not sure about Petz but you can search Amazon and see if anything that comes up matches what you're looking for. Amazon is a decent spot to search for older games because you get the websites and people who are selling used copies through Amazon as well.

Was thinking about this...
Are you looking for Invention Studio? I used to play it a lot as a kid! Annoyingly I couldn't find any videos of it though.
It's on Amazon for $4.25
My first guess would be Math Blaster. Hope this helps.
If the direction we're moving is one in which people are involved both as medium and participants, I'd have a hard time faulting Claire's statement. In fact it's pretty exciting.
The thing about internet art is this: is it simply art on the internet? Or is it art that could only exist with the internet?
Examples: any given .jpg file. Is it internet art, or art that wound up on the internet? I think it's just a photo of art that ended up on the internet, so not 'internet art.'
A painting done in MS Paint. Art, or internet art? Well, made on a computer. But made in a long-established format. And MS Paint existed long before internet. So for me, not an internet art.
A forum in which people geographically scattered converge to plan actions that take place offline and feed back into an online product, such as a special website devoted to documentation that participants can visit, comment on, and print take-away items from. To me, that's solid internet art.
My point about Rirkrit was to wonder if he as a Thai born in Argentina and raised in Thailand, Ethiopia, and Canada was participating in whatever remained of the western narrative in the 90's. Over the centuries of its development the western narrative was funded by nations that were solidly colonial and derived great wealth from colonial oppression.
Was the thrust of art historical development in the (now Old) Western world (which is to say, ignoring Cuba, South America, and every other country not counted as part of the Western Art Historical Narrative) -- was that thrust a kind of cultural colonialism, in which New York, LA, Berlin, London, coopted 'exotic others' so to speak, such as RT?
It's not a happy thought, but similar development continues apace to this day. Cultural colonialism. Going on unquestioned, if that's in fact what's happening.
re: the political zeitgeist, I was thinking Trump.
Yes, I did indeed work on an Adibou CD-ROM. I believe this may be one of them, not sure: https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Adventure-Adiboo-Reading-Math/dp/B000EGQ38I
My group definitely worked on this interface, in fact I'm reasonably sure I know who painted it: https://www.google.com/search?q=Adibou+%22Knowledge+Adventure%22&num=50&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj526uhvM3VAhWJ5iYKHUjjAasQ_AUICygC&biw=1495&bih=843#imgrc=KLKzFk6GLB_4PM:
I worked for a company that was owned by Knowledge Adventure, and Knowledge Adventure was purchased by the company that owns Adibou. It may be a French water company, not sure. I thought it would be cool to do an Asterix and Obelix CD back then, but the license was too pricey.
Here's the thing about my artwork: I've had time to work in many mediums. I've returned to painting since 2008 just to focus. I had a highly developed day job career, which -- unless you're independently wealthy -- I would encourage you to develop as well. And the fine art education, including the Relational Aesthetics part, will all be useful, presuming you watch for places to trade on them.
I know artists with degrees who tend bar, stack wood, put food cans on shelves. Not just for four or five years, but for decades now. You can be devoted to your art and still sell enough of your time to be able to eat decently, see some measure of the world, purchase decent supplies, partner up with a significant other, raise kids etc -- all really valuable experiences in developing the human spirit, you know?
That's the thing, you're working on your entire instrument your whole life long. Body Mind Spirit-if-you-believe-you-have-one. It's here to do one thing: to love. Not in the lame-ass Romeo way or the tree-huggy way, but in the big round way of learning about the world, discovering what's your best fit for it, being generous, receiving generosity, discovering what you really care about, that interaction with others that feeds everyone. You have to tend to your instrument and take good care of the whole thing. I was desperately poor, with children, and we did just fine, we learned how to have fun anywhere, we learned from people from all over the world how to eat smart on the cheap, but we've always been very resilient and conscientiously made healthy choices. Not everyone can. Not everyone enjoys clear mental health.
And, really, we're all just broken toys, when it comes right down to it.
John Dewey noted that educational experiences are characterized by opening up opportunities for further experiences and learning, while mis-educational experiences close off such opportunities. It was an eminently sensible criterion and one that really stuck with me.
Think about all the experiences people have every day. Where do they go? (The experiences I mean.) Do they amount to nothing? Are they smoke? It's complex.
fwiw.
Would enjoy showing you my work -
This might make me seem really young (granted, I was playing Asheron's Call at 7) but my favorite game when I was really little was Reader Rabbit 1st Grade (this was before I started school) and another game called Read, Write, Paint or something similar (it definetly had Write and Paint in the title). When I got a little older it was Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sims. Also, Virtual Villager for a few days straight.
I think this was technically my first, although my first game I bought on steam was Dayz.

was it one of the bajillion clue finders games?

Jumpstart Grade 3
https://www.amazon.com/Vivendi-71092-JumpStart-3rd-Grade/dp/B00004TLO0
invention Studio?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GKSSWJC/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_U9z5ybVBD7WCD
Was it Math-based? Were there other games?
I had Math Missions when I was kid, and it fits the description.
I'm thinking of this game: https://www.amazon.com/Discovery-Channel-Mutimedia-Invention-Studio/dp/B000AQNT66
There is a new one but it has bad reviews. Really too bad, I was excited to buy it for my kids.
Maybe I will try to get the original up and running.
I helped a pig and meerkat eat bugs to improve my typing skills.
Just found it myself. It's Word Munchers Deluxe.
And word munch! https://www.amazon.com/The-Learning-Company-479979-Munchers/dp/B0002BQT8O
Learning Adventures! I Can Be An Animal Doctor
More information (and screenshots) here, here, here and here.
I remember my sister playing something that sounds exactly like that. Do you remember one of the animals being a horse that you had to weigh (it was either too skinny or too fat, probably the former). Maybe something to do with one of the animals having worms/parasites?
I'll keep thinking on the name, but based on the games we used to have it may have been barbie or fisher price or something like that.
edit: I found what i was thinking of, maybe not what you're looking for though
http://www.amazon.com/I-Can-Be-Animal-Doctor/dp/B0002BQOPC
It looks like you can buy it if you like: https://www.amazon.com/Encore-31320-Elementary-Advantage-2005/dp/B0002BJRRO
-----
I followed the link you gave, and then google searched the name "Elementary Advantage 2005"
Any chance this is Reader Rabbit - Capers on Cloud 9?
I was unable to do a whole lot of good research, but it's a children's educational game from around that era that seems to have a focus on clouds.
https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Rabbit-Grade-Capers-VERSION/dp/B00005LINU
Are you talking about thisthis one? Or the really old text one?
I've beat the linked one a couple of times. It was a ton of fun... So many good memories. Once I broke down in the Rockies with no food.
Every now and then I think about how great it would be if it was remastered with modern game design concepts. It's a great concept. I've even considered trying to make my own version (just as a fun computer programming exercise)... Maybe I should try that sometime. I'm no artist, though, so I'd have to find someone to do that part. Dang, that actually sounds really fun to make.
Could it be Cluefinders 4th Grade Adventures? https://www.amazon.com/ClueFinders-4th-Grade-Adventures-Pyramid/dp/B00004UF32
https://www.amazon.com/Vivendi-71092-JumpStart-3rd-Grade/dp/B00004TLO0
Timon & Pumbaa taught me. I got this game when I was quite young (at some age between five and ten) over the next few months I spent hours playing with it and, tada!, I can now type.
