Amiga games that benefit children with LD

amifan · 31 October 2023, 00:06

Lately, I have become addicted to playing the demo of Spheroid. It is a fantastic game with a simple premise, yet it is incredibly deep and engaging. As a teacher of children with learning difficulties, I find this game to be very helpful in my job. The easy-to-pick-up game mechanics and the need to flex short-term memory make it a firm favorite among my students. It aids them in their concentration and cognitive development. I would love to know if anyone else has played similar games that could benefit short-term memory or improve concentration. Your suggestions will be very helpful to me and my students.

Jumping Jack'Son is somewhat similar: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/jumping-jackson

Maybe also the Solomon Key clones could be interesting (but they are a bit more complex): https://amiga.abime.net/games/list/?quickmatch-id=63

Interesting topic.
Who wouldn´t have liked playing computer games on school time back then?

There´s got to be a lot of games that train your memory?
For example the Myst type puzzle games.
But on the Amiga maybe the game X-it can be of interest?
It´s sort of the same style...

X-it
