Skools Out Creator Interviewed, Game Released

An anonymous reader writes "The full download version of PC indie game Skools Out is now available from the official Mucky Baby site - there's also a bunch of new screenshots and a playable demo available." There's an interview with Mucky Baby's Simon Keating, himself an ex-Mucky Foot developer, over at DIY Games, describing the "PC action adventure title", influenced by classic Spectrum title Skool Daze. The article notes this as another example of "the world of independent game development... becoming populated with more and more developers that have left the business of big name game development and struck out on their own."

Is this what we teach kids?

[Deltawolf]

Is this what passes as a game today? While It seems to be an educational wonder, it may just turn your kids into potato chip zombies playing Halo and UT2004 blasting away with the new OC3 line he requisitioned from his parents. Or they will become hackers and hack into the school computer networks and change their grades as well as the ones of the person he fancys. What are we teaching kids these days? When I was a kid we had 80's music and spiked hair not games in which the kid must get the headmaster's password. The gaming industry in educational products has really taken a turn for the worse.
