I remember one of the Jump Start games made me so mad as a kid that I kicked my full body mirror and broke it. Not because of the educational stuff, but because I accidentally named a pet in the game with a cool hot rod-style pattern “Blossom” instead of something cooler, and it was impossible to change it.
It was so enjoyable that I would go back to play it several years after I finished 3rd grade. The minigames were actually games, the atmosphere was exciting, the sprite art was beautiful and had a lot of personality.
YES SAME! I remember thinking the story was really interesting as a 3rd grader, too. Like friendly robot has to stop evil scientist girl from destroying the world? I was so into that.
As a sheltered homeschooler in the 90’s, these first edition JumpStart games were my teachers, video games and lifeblood. EDIT: I never finished 4th grade because I was too scared to enter the witch’s house, though I strangely did like getting lost in the overworld map. So cool-looking.
I remember as a kid, i played the 3rd grade game while i was still in first grade. I genuinely thought that it was evidence that i was some kind of savant or something.
Haunted Island DID technically get a rerelease in 97-98 that made the game a lot more user-friendly. Not only did it include an in-game map you could warp around with (the original release stuck the map in the user's guide as a weird form of copy protection) but it reduced the amount of minigames you needed to play to get an item from 3 to 2, making the game a lot shorter. 4th Grade is easily my favorite and I did a whole video about it. Definitely worth checking out.
oh my god??? this is bringing back so much nostalgia. my mom had a disk for a jumpstart game that she would pop in and let me play on her old laptop. i also had an account on their online virtual world that i was able to recover because of this. when i saw this video pop up in my feed i freaked out because i almost forgot that these games existed. edit: i dont think the game we had was any of these
I do have a copy of KnowledgeLand, was it this one? th-cam.com/video/pzcfoC4Yv38/w-d-xo.html (Jumpstart made quite a few MMOs it seems, including one that has been around until 2023.)

I appreciate the amount of effort you put into this one. The over the top transitions and larger than life tier list are so unnecessary but made things incredibly charming. Keep it up!
The whole video was a TIME MACHINE of repressed memories!!! The HOWL of surprise when I heard the phrase "bone vault." I never got through 4th grade, even in 6th grade, so I felt vindicated seeing you struggle (?) with it. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I have very vague memories of playing Jumpstart 3rd Grade as a kid, but I discovered the Cluefinders games and never looked back. I would love to see a sequel to this with those games 👀
For whatever reason, what I payed attention to the most in the vid is the fact that Peter looks like the '90s compressed into a single person. Or, at the very least, what 40-somethings thought kids and teens in the '90s looked like.
@@peter_knetter Ah, but you're young at heart, Sir Patter! Old soul though, definitely... I think. EDIT: I also meant that that's what 40-somethings *in the '90s* thought kids/teens look liked. Dunno how I failed to convey that at first lol.
I used to play Jumpstart online, which, looking back, was a funny social hangout with no learning and sometimes a madagascar collaboration. Oh, and the Wii game. Would love to see a second part to this if possible lol. Its great to see the history of Jumpstart before I started playing
I remember playing the 3rd grade one as a kid. Back then, I was like "oh yeah Polly shouldn't be playing with time cus she got a zero on her test". Now, I realize Polly was 100% correct and we should have blown up her teacher for giving her a zero instead of just telling her to retake the test but seriously this time. (For clarification, the plotline of the 3rd game is that Polly got a zero on a test, because she knew all of the answers and simply made jokes on the test. The teacher gave her a zero, and Polly, upset because the teacher KNEW she knew the answers and was making jokes, went and started going through time to make it so her answers were correct. ie. making people believe the center of the solar system was herself, instead of the Sun.)
I love how Peter does so much for everyone and makes everybody happy and cares!! Love ya Peter and love your vids!! Also how's Pikabob? Just wanna know Edit: Also thanks everyone for the likes!! Means a lot to me!! 🙏❤
I got slapped by nostalgia with the Jumpstart Kindergarten one. That bird was probably sick of me typing my name when I was little. I remembered every segment of that game vividly. Good Lord! Core memory unlocked.
Seeing that the only one I had as a child was grade 4 haunted house, if it was replaced by that newer version I would have raged, it was kinda hard to scare me with that sort of stuff.
my roommate just introduced me to your channel and this video helped me solve the mystery of which jumpstart game i had as a kid! it was the UPDATED preschool game. your jokes and editing style are a lot of fun :]
I swear there was a pre-school one with a duck that I would play repeatedly. It drove my dad (who was homeschooling me, a me who was past pre-school) absolutely nuts
Dude, Peter, you never fail to impress me with your editing skills man. The 3d transitions AND the ending are crazy!! Would LOVE to know how you do them because they are just beyond amazing, like I'm speechless man. Seriously dude, keep up the amazing work 🤓👍
I was thinking “there’s no way this guy is able to review this entire series in 23 minutes, there’s got to be another part coming later.” But oh boy he went and did it! Amazing
I remember playing the first kindergarten game. You missed showing all the fun stuff, like hide and seek with the hamster, or that game with the mouse where you gotta get open the path so he can get to the cheese. Don't forget you could take pictures of the wildlife outside and then color them. Some of the animals only flashed on screen for a second so it was tricky to snap some of them
I have something to confess and this feels like the place to do it. I played jumpstart 3rd grade all the time as a child and developed a massive crush on Botley. I was homeschooled which may be partially to blame.
Oh! I LOVE JumpStart! 3rd Grade, 1st Grade Reading & 5th Grade were some of my absolute favorites! IT's one of my goals this year... to finish or re-finish all of the mainline JumpStart games (maybe some of the "advanced" ones as well along with a lot of other educational adventures games. :)
I swear man I would love for a company like Knowledge Adventure to turn up and make classic style edutainment games like these! No 3D or anything like that. I want my kids to play good old animated point-and-click games!
Ok, Peter, I know you probably won't read this but I've been watching you for about 4 years now and you still suprise me with every video you upload. Every video i see how you're trying something new, your humor and the way you edit your videos are always on point. I'm genuinely proud. Thank you for doing what you do and i wish you all the happiness in the world or at least half of it
My faves of the series were obviously from 3rd grade up as those were what I grew up on. Yeah, 4th grade for a 9 year old sitting alone on the computer in the living room while it rained outside was hella terrifying. That ghost that follows you around asking you questions and to "select the correct answer", the sfx in the game yeesh I think it's very cool now but still gives me the heeby jeebies
I’m transferring from college to university tomorrow so this honestly great material for the next semester, thank you Peter for educating your audience👍
Legit so sad you didnt talk about my fave jumpstart games. One was explorer, great one and one was math, it was in a medieval setting with the frog. I also somehow played a diff jumpstart kindergarden, i remember it had go kart racing. Oh and i looooved the reader rabbit series too. I did play the robot one and it was probably my favorite. It was just a solid learning game. Fun, intuitive with a cute little story.
My family had Jumpstart Pre-School (95) and Jumpstart 2nd and 3rd grade (96 and 97), and I absolutely loved Jumpstart 3rd grade. I always had a ton of fun with it. I still find myself humming the chalkboard songs from Jumpstart 2nd grade though.
I remember playing Sammy's Science House, Bailey's Book House, and Millie's Math House. I also used to play Reader Rabbit, Math Rabbit, and Littlefingers
I would like to defend Haunted Island. I used to spend hours just watching my older sibling play it. It was genuinely very challenging, and the atmosphere and creepiness really kept us engaged. I had Jump Start First Grade, and I remember playing it a little, but Haunted Island was just so much better in every way. Also, it seems like kids now just don't have good edutainment games like this? My sibling and I were looking around for better games for our little cousins after watching them play horrible free mobile games at family holiday parties, and we couldn't find anything close to Math Blasters, Jump Start, or even Freddie Fish. Are these kinds of games just not being made anymore?
Used to have the kindergarten one from when I was a kid. I remember one of my favorite things was clicking on the stereo in the room and listening to all the songs. 😂 Sad part, I remember each song word for word to this very day.
Does anyone remember a kids game around the late 90s (it could have been made before that) that had a blimp that you can click on, and it would recite the alphabet and show the letters on a screen on the blimp at the same time? It was in the upper left hand corner of the game. It was how I memorized the alphabet and I still think back to it to this day to remember where the letters in the alphabet are. The audio was a bunch of kids singing with music in the background. I've done days of Google and TH-cam searches and can't find anything.
Jumpstart, reader rabbit, Mythbusters, Dinosaurs 3d, Clue Finders...these games were my childhood. Jumpstart 3rd grade was my favorite and I remember learning alot from that game up to 6th grade because of all the lessons on constellations, art, and the problem solving games it had. Jumpstart Music as well was alot of fun and made me appreciate music as a kid. My most played was undoubtingly Jumpstart 2nd grade Reading which was a Indiana Jones squeeze adventure and Jumpstart 2nd grade Math which also felt like a big adventure as a kid. Jumpstart Numbers was just kind of cozy. It actually made math fun for me.
I was half-expecting that pajama-wearing Koala to go off on an Internet Historian In the Field rant when it said “Birds.” Like, Birds. Birds! What are birds? Is this a bird (points at butterfly)? etc.
We used this in our libraries and schools, you unlocked so many memories... (I did play both versions of some because of different locations and random upgrades after my years)
You don't realize how happy this video makes me. I wish I had all these games on a shelf because they were such an integral part of my childhood. This and Reader Rabbit, of course. I don't know why but you acknowledging all of my childhood games while everyone else doesn't know they exist makes you much more attractive. Anyway thanks for the video, Patter the n
i have a vivid memory of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" playing during the kindergarden one from 1994, its literally my oldest memory and i sat through an entire playthrough of it on youtube only for it not to show up lol.
The 4th-grade, haunted-island one scared me so much with its atmosphere. When the ghost popped out the first time, I bolted downstairs to my mom to cry. I'm not sure I ever went back to that area or completed the game. I still can't handle game jump scares, even when I know exactly when they'll trigger. Thanks, Jump Start, for scarring me for life 👍
i know the internet is an infinitely expanding archive where everyone is talking about everything to ever exist all at once, but i still feel shocked to see someone making a video on this core memory that i never thought id remember lol
I remember these game. It clearly show my dyslexia and having learning disability. 🤷♀️. Never play the pre school one but the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade level. Where there was a story. I remember mostly the summer camp one the most.
I remember having the jumpstart collection as a kid. Kindergarten to 4th grade was the collection I hand at the time and knowledge land was kinda your off line toon town
kindergarten 1994 was my favourite thing ever when i was a kid, i wasn't even aware that there were more games in the series. the cover of my game looked completely different than the one that you showed tho, it was called davidsons learning center series but it was the same game you had on lol
After all the times Jump Start wouldn't let you write your full name you finally get to your diploma and just write Peter, now that there's no character field limit lol
Hey Peter. Really like what you're doing here. Was wondering if you'd consider doing the same but with The Learning Company's collection of 80s-90s video games. They've got some real bangers and some real duds, too. Hits include "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego," "Treasure Cove," and "Reader Rabbit."
As someone that grew up on Jumpstart and considers it a major hyperfixation of mine, I'm lowkey upset you didn't cover all of the early 2000's jumpstart games. This was when they transitioned from 2D to 3D and did weird things like changing Pierre from a polar bear to a panda and Keisha from a koala to a cheetah. I also wish you gave Haunted Island more of a chance! You hardly played it, and I love that one :( Also -- PLEASE cover the Reader Rabbit games next!!
@@tlp2123 you're correct, I didn't remember her labeling herself as a tiger and simply assumed she was a cheetah because one of her few personality traits is always wanting to race you, lol
I Luv u so much Peter! ❤❤ thanks for filling the void in my empty soul. Edit: thx for liking Peter, even tho the creator heart did get deleted because I edited the comment. I’ve loved your stuff since 2019. Thank you for inspiring me to attempt to make content today. ❤️❤️
It’s a crying shame that jumpstart (like, the whole company and brand) doesn’t exist anymore. The sadist part is that the 3D virtual world game is gone now. That thing lasted like, yearly 15 years
I remember playing the 2nd grade one in elementery school, but had no idea what it was called before now. Thank you for unlocking this part of my childhood.
Dude!! You're bringing me back. I used to play the first game (kindergarten/preschool) one when I was little. This used to be my favorite game. At school,I would've begged my teacher to go on the computer to play this. When the time was over,I would've cry because I did'nt want to let it go off that game. It was a huge part of me growing up. I used to click on everything around. This is how I learned the it's bitsy spider song.
These games are so incredibly nostalgic for me. They were basically the only the video games I had access to besides Diner Dash. I had/played kindergarten-3rd grade

Man, I played the heck out of the 3rd Grade game as a kid. Seeing you put it in S tier makes me feel validated somehow.
Yeah, the 3rd Grade one slapped, tbh
I played it to death too. I think I still have the cd-rom somewhere
It was so enjoyable that I would go back to play it several years after I finished 3rd grade. The minigames were actually games, the atmosphere was exciting, the sprite art was beautiful and had a lot of personality.
it actually blows my mind seeing so many people that have played this game. I never knew anyone back then that played these so this is just so cool

I literally just bought some of my old non-educational games since my originals were “lost”😂
Yep the original 4th grade jumpstart is SO FUN!! He didn't really give it a chance
@@alexissortor1331Fr it was by far the best jump start game

Used to have the kindergarten one from when I was a kid. I remember one of my favorite things was clicking on the stereo in the room and listening to all the songs. 😂 Sad part, I remember each song word for word to this very day.
Does anyone remember a kids game around the late 90s (it could have been made before that) that had a blimp that you can click on, and it would recite the alphabet and show the letters on a screen on the blimp at the same time? It was in the upper left hand corner of the game. It was how I memorized the alphabet and I still think back to it to this day to remember where the letters in the alphabet are. The audio was a bunch of kids singing with music in the background. I've done days of Google and TH-cam searches and can't find anything.
Congrats Peter for getting good education! Truly a good example than most TH-camrs!
JumpStart 1st grade (1995) was my childhood. I played it in 2007 and 2008 on my Windows XP laptop. The wonderful thing about backwards compatibility.
"How'd you graduate from school in such short time?!"
"I played educational PC games from the 90's"
Jumpstart, reader rabbit, Mythbusters, Dinosaurs 3d, Clue Finders...these games were my childhood.
Jumpstart 3rd grade was my favorite and I remember learning alot from that game up to 6th grade because of all the lessons on constellations, art, and the problem solving games it had. Jumpstart Music as well was alot of fun and made me appreciate music as a kid. My most played was undoubtingly Jumpstart 2nd grade Reading which was a Indiana Jones squeeze adventure and Jumpstart 2nd grade Math which also felt like a big adventure as a kid. Jumpstart Numbers was just kind of cozy. It actually made math fun for me.
I have somewhat nostalgic feelings towards Jumpstart Typing because it taught typing but it was fun because it was a game.
I was half-expecting that pajama-wearing Koala to go off on an Internet Historian In the Field rant when it said “Birds.”
Like,
Birds. Birds! What are birds? Is this a bird (points at butterfly)? etc.
Honestly, the early school years vibe what a whole thing in its own. just seeing it you can basically smell it too if you know what I mean.
We used this in our libraries and schools, you unlocked so many memories... (I did play both versions of some because of different locations and random upgrades after my years)
The Editing in this video is fantastic. Goes to show how much Peter has improved.
Seeing Peter upload is the highlight of my week. Thank you for blessing up with this masterpiece Peter!!! Love you/p!
This is the exact moment when patter became the smartest person on jumpstart🥶🥶
I still get the kindergarten & 1st grade songs stuck in my head. 2nd edition were fab
And the 3rd grade background music still makes me uncomfy
You don't realize how happy this video makes me. I wish I had all these games on a shelf because they were such an integral part of my childhood. This and Reader Rabbit, of course. I don't know why but you acknowledging all of my childhood games while everyone else doesn't know they exist makes you much more attractive. Anyway thanks for the video, Patter the n
i have a vivid memory of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" playing during the kindergarden one from 1994, its literally my oldest memory and i sat through an entire playthrough of it on youtube only for it not to show up lol.
The 4th-grade, haunted-island one scared me so much with its atmosphere. When the ghost popped out the first time, I bolted downstairs to my mom to cry. I'm not sure I ever went back to that area or completed the game.
I still can't handle game jump scares, even when I know exactly when they'll trigger. Thanks, Jump Start, for scarring me for life 👍
Holy shit when the credits for 1994 were playing it said Tony pope did the character voices. He voiced the original furby!
i know the internet is an infinitely expanding archive where everyone is talking about everything to ever exist all at once, but i still feel shocked to see someone making a video on this core memory that i never thought id remember lol
I remember these game. It clearly show my dyslexia and having learning disability. 🤷♀️. Never play the pre school one but the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade level. Where there was a story. I remember mostly the summer camp one the most.
I’m so glad you answered the “their” question correctly, for TH-cam. Jk but the editing was perfect in this video.
i love how this man just has no legs
I remember having the jumpstart collection as a kid.
Kindergarten to 4th grade was the collection I hand at the time and knowledge land was kinda your off line toon town
That "do what the animals do" song gave me flashbacks
kindergarten 1994 was my favourite thing ever when i was a kid, i wasn't even aware that there were more games in the series. the cover of my game looked completely different than the one that you showed tho, it was called davidsons learning center series but it was the same game you had on lol
Is no one gonna mention the fact that Peter is speaking into a sword?
No?
Ok
It’s a micro-sword
Any time Peter posts a video my day gets about 10 times better.
i had the 2000 Jumpstart 1st grade and at 29 i still remember the jingle and sing it sometimes. it lives rent free in my memory
After all the times Jump Start wouldn't let you write your full name you finally get to your diploma and just write Peter, now that there's no character field limit lol
Takes me back to when my parents bought our home computer. I would play Jump Start and Reader Rabbits every day after school
Hey Peter. Really like what you're doing here. Was wondering if you'd consider doing the same but with The Learning Company's collection of 80s-90s video games. They've got some real bangers and some real duds, too. Hits include "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego," "Treasure Cove," and "Reader Rabbit."
“Whoops, we only got room for 12 letters!”

Makes me so happy to see 3rd Grade in S Tier. That was one of my childhood games that I'd play for hours, alongside Lego Rock Raiders and Lego Island
7:39 / loving the fact you used clefairy says Pokémon stadium music. 😂❤
I was obsessed with Jumpstart 3rd grade as a kid. I remember beating it so many times. Jump start 4th grade scared the crap out of me
As someone that grew up on Jumpstart and considers it a major hyperfixation of mine, I'm lowkey upset you didn't cover all of the early 2000's jumpstart games. This was when they transitioned from 2D to 3D and did weird things like changing Pierre from a polar bear to a panda and Keisha from a koala to a cheetah.
I also wish you gave Haunted Island more of a chance! You hardly played it, and I love that one :(
Also -- PLEASE cover the Reader Rabbit games next!!
I thought Keisha was a tiger in the 3d games? Those were the only ones I played
@@tlp2123 you're correct, I didn't remember her labeling herself as a tiger and simply assumed she was a cheetah because one of her few personality traits is always wanting to race you, lol
I Luv u so much Peter! ❤❤ thanks for filling the void in my empty soul.
Edit: thx for liking Peter, even tho the creator heart did get deleted because I edited the comment. I’ve loved your stuff since 2019. Thank you for inspiring me to attempt to make content today. ❤️❤️
To this day, the adjective song from 2nd grade is burned into my memory.
Oh my god I was hit in the head with nostalgia with the kindergarten one.
It’s a crying shame that jumpstart (like, the whole company and brand) doesn’t exist anymore. The sadist part is that the 3D virtual world game is gone now. That thing lasted like, yearly 15 years
1:01 Jokes on you, this is the only one I remember
I have been outplayed.
I remember playing the 2nd grade one in elementery school, but had no idea what it was called before now. Thank you for unlocking this part of my childhood.
This is great. Patter should have 100 million subs!
I have been trying to get TH-cam to gift me them to no avail
Dude!! You're bringing me back. I used to play the first game (kindergarten/preschool) one when I was little. This used to be my favorite game. At school,I would've begged my teacher to go on the computer to play this. When the time was over,I would've cry because I did'nt want to let it go off that game. It was a huge part of me growing up. I used to click on everything around. This is how I learned the it's bitsy spider song.
Is no one going to mention that the company behind JumpStart (Knowledge Adventure) just went out of business last month?
These games are so incredibly nostalgic for me. They were basically the only the video games I had access to besides Diner Dash. I had/played kindergarten-3rd grade
