Huffing the copies made off the old school copy machines with the hand crank. The kind with the purple ink.



Yes, I'm old.

They started getting phased out in the mid to late 80's when Xerox machines got more affordable. I can still distinctly remember that smell, and the dizzy feeling after huffing them when the teacher passed them out.

I remember the purple ink.

Answer to the OP: I loved Oregon Trail.

Once a week, depending on how many stars we had gotten, we got "computer lab bucks" that we could spend either on an hour of computer games, making buttons, etc. It was this almost every single time...



Love getting these things on papers...



I had this exact same one....



Read so many damn books to get my button, stickers, and Pizza Hut coupons.

Me too. I also had the Trapper Keeper with the water drops on it but I think it was a different color. Instead of Oregon Trail I remember playing Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego.

I also have fond memories of trading Garbage Pail Kids on the school bus in the 2nd grade.
