When I was in first grade (1995-1996) there was this computer game that everyone wanted to play. I don't remember the name, but it was a mario copy, a sidescroller, with a character that was either a guy or girl.
The premise was to collect books and avoid these blob-ulous enemies (we nicknamed them "Googa-Guys") You had to jump over things of slime, and if you hit the spacebar, a green caterpilar/worm thing with glasses and an umbrella came down and dumped pink crap on the blob guys, killing/destroying them.
The only term I heard for the game was Word Save or something. May not have been the real title. I think it was a PC game, but it could have been a Mac, for all I know. We had both at the school then.

| | | | While we're at it, I've recently remembered an old game that I think was famous at the time. I remember some very thin snakes shaped like an S. They were moving sideways, I think. I'm pretty certain I've played it on Commodore 64.

okay, thats all. i hope you find your googa-guys or whatever. |
