Someone said they're old enough to remember drinking Gatorade out of glass bottles, and that hurt my soul.

1992 :dead:


This is probably a collector's item.




Like most of MECC's games, Freedom! was released in late 1992 with instructions for use in a classroom setting, with the expectation that the teacher would first guide students on certain lessons before letting them play the game; because of the cultural nature of the title, the manual had included numerous cautions to teachers to avoid perpetuating racial biases. However, the game was most often used by students without any curriculum set by the school.[3] In one of the first known events, the game's release at a Merrillville, Indiana elementary school led several African-American parents to demand the school pull the software. Similar situations rippled through other school systems in the United States. MECC and Kambui met with concerned Merrillville parents and members of the NAACP to discuss concerns about the game and if there were ways to fix it.[4] At these meetings, MECC was criticized for having "Nintendoized" slavery, in addition to the offensive imagery and slang they used in the game.
