Hello, everyone. In this Filler, I plan to give the Brain Byte Series (Downloadable Activities Included) from Edmark the Scoring Measurement Treatment as the Scoring System differs from Game to Game.

Then combine them for a real result as half the Brain Bytes titles have Grow Sliders and the rest don't. The Same Thing applies to Edmark Downloads as 3 of them have Grow Sliders while the rest don't.

While its possible to run them on Early Windows NT OS, they're more stable on Windows 9x OS and you'll also need to use 256 Colors to run the games as they were designed to run on that.

This way, you can understand what the optimization scores mean for the actual games when you play them and how you can set the levels.
For the scoring, I'll either mention the Maximum/Minimum scores, as I have to play each of the games to find out.

Brain Bytes Grow Slider Versions: 6 Discs
User Image

After Edmark went Public in order to get the resources needed to make their fantastic line of Educational Software for Schools & Homes, they were operating well on their own for 4 years up to 1995 but then in 1996, Edmark was purchased by IBM which lead to the creation of the Brain Bytes Series in hopes of expanding their market. 4 Years after IBM was unable to grasp the concept of Edutainment, they sold Edmark to Riverdeep in 2000 which marked the End of the Edmark Software Company. So in a way, Brain Bytes was Edmark's final product before it closed in 2002.

While the CD is required to install the game, its NOT Required to play the game.

Edmark & Riverdeep Activity Downloads: 3 Applications
User Image

During the Early 2000s, 2 years before Edmark closed up shop by Riverdeep, Edamark released some of their activates as Separate Digital Downloads which are based on some of the activities from their Games. I counted 38 of them that was released back then as I have seen them once or twice. However, 3 of them had Growth Sliders while the GeoComputer had an Explore Mode only & the GX-1 Orbital Guide was an Electronic Reference Book from the GX-1 Space Academy Game.

However, unlike Brain Bytes, the progress in the Edmark & Riverdeep Activity Downloads DO NOT save as you need to use a Virtual Machine to bookmark your progress by taking a screenshot or write it down on a piece of paper if you're using a real computer to do so. But I maybe wrong about that as each has one Profile Save.
