Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, everyone. In this Filler, I plan to give the Thinkin Things Series from Edmark the Scoring Measurement Treatment as the Scoring System differs from Game to Game.
The Thinking Things Series (All 10 Discs) is another Popular Edmark Series next to Mighty Math

While its possible to run the Thinkin Things Series on Early Windows NT OS, they're more stable on Windows 9x OS and you'll also need to use 256 Colors to run the games as they were designed to run on that.

This way, you can understand what the optimization scores mean for the actual games when you play them and how you can set the levels.
For the scoring, I'll either mention the Maximum/Minimum scores, as I have to play each of the games to find out.

Thinkin Things Modern Era Disc 7: Thinkin Things Sky Island Mysteries
Unlike the first 6 Discs of Thinkin Things, this game actually has a storyline. You play the role as an investigator assigned by the Sky Island High Command Commission to protect the Sky Island Festival set to begin. However, some tricksters are attempting to ruin the day across 14 Different Case Files.

To Unmask the 14 criminals, you'll need to collect evidence then compare the notes along with its information logs about the witnesses since the Sky Islands have a population of 3,125 people. To Collect Evidence, you'll have 3 Different Minigames to play as when you play well, you'll collect a piece of evidence until you have all of them required to crack the case file. So all things considered, this game has 4 Minigames as its like an activity studio with a story but only 3 of the activities can function as Minigames.

The 3 Minigames that are functional besides Clue Central (Main Story Mode) are:
= Airshow Island
= Stadium Island
and
= Rebus Island


*Airshow Island Hints*
This takes following directions to a new perspective where the player must direct a safe airshow display but there are various rulesets that a player must follow...
= Only 2 planes are allowed to fly at the same altitude.
= A plane can't cross an altitude that already has 2 planes on it.
So its a bit of Trial and Error since the game does NOT tell the player how to work on the flight log

*Rebus Island*
Its like the picture puzzles shown on Classic Concentration but a little more harder since as a kid I remember finding this minigame difficult. So you'll need to check the Rebus Speller since you can't rely on hints too much. In addition, there's 7 Pre Set Rebus Challenges that act as Extra Credit making one of the few Edmark Games to have Extra Credit Challenges.

*Stadium Island*
One of my strongest Minigames that I'm good at in Sky Island Mysteries. It shows where you have to place the fripples on the bleacher seats then press the play or step buttons if you are right. The Highest Level I reached on that Minigame was 7.
