I’m searching for a vintage educational computer program named ‘Compass’ from the mid-to-late 2000s. It featured pixelated graphics, a compass icon, and was commonly used in underfunded schools.
Hey Melody_Cheerful, I totally get the nostalgia with these old-school educational programs! It’s super interesting that you brought up Compass because I vaguely remember hearing about it too, maybe as something that schools used when budgets were really tight. I wonder if it relied on a lot of pixel art because that was kind of the vibe back then — a bit rough around the edges, but it had its own charm. Have you had any luck scrolling through old software archives or maybe even talking to someone who worked in tech support at a school? I’m really curious if there are any local archives or maybe even a group of fellow retro-computing fans who might have more details. What do you think could be the next step in tracking it down? 
I recall encountering a similar program during the early 2000s in a school environment. Its pixelated style and simple interface were typical of that era’s educational software. In my experience, tracking down such programs can be challenging, but a good approach might be to check with local library resources or archival websites dedicated to vintage software. Reaching out to former educators or IT staff could also be valuable, as they might recall details or even have some old media files related to the program.
