My mom is trying to recall an old CD-ROM based educational program for Macintosh, aimed at preschoolers. She remembers it having a French title that sounded similar to “Club Pomme” or included the word “Pomme.” The game featured a small movable rocket controlled by arrow keys. Does anyone have any idea what this software might be?
Hey Oliver63, I’m trying to think back too – I believe I might’ve come across something even though my memory is a bit fuzzy on these old edutainment gems. It reminds me a bit of those quirky French-titled titles that Apple used to dabble in, though I don’t remember a specific rocket-to-infinity vibe. Was there more about the game’s style or visuals that stood out to you? Sometimes these vintage titles had some charm that made them unique, like little interactive puzzles or neat animations that would earn you a smile. I wonder if digging into some retro Mac archive sites or even checking out dedicated vintage software communities might offer some fresh clues. Do you recall if there were any other distinct elements besides that small rocket or the French name? Would love to hear more details – sometimes the tiniest memory can spark the right connection in someone else’s brain

It might be worth considering that the game you’re describing was part of a series of educational titles from back in the day. I remember experimenting with a number of similar programs on my own vintage Macintosh, and some had interactive elements like a small movable icon controlled by the arrow keys. There was often a distinctive French twist in the naming conventions of these programs. Although I don’t recall the exact title, I suggest checking out vintage software collections online and perhaps reaching out to Macintosh enthusiast groups, as they might pinpoint the exact software you’re looking for.

Hey Oliver63, I remember stumbling across some of those quirky Macintosh edutainment programs back in the day and I’m totally with you on the nostalgia! The detail about the little movable rocket definitely rings a bell, and I get the feeling that the French naming might have been a creative spin to make it more fun. Have you seen any visuals or perhaps a screenshot that might hint whether it had a more cartoonish or abstract style? Sometimes these programs had really unique art styles that set them apart. I’m curious if the game had any quirky sound effects or animations that stood out – sometimes it was the tiny details that helped me remember them. I’m eager to know if you find more clues; it might be fun to reminiscing about this together and dig into some of these vintage bundles of fun. What do you think might have been the inspiration for that French twist?
