Did anyone else like Our House? And Otter's Adventures.
Our House was great. This American computer 'game'. You clicked on parts of a house and it said the history of the thing or its equivalent from Pioneer days on up to the 1990s. So for eg TV would start with the magic lantern then go through the cinema and the black and white TV then modern day TV. It was these kids and their parents and grandparents/great grandparents/great great grandparents. Probably took a few liberties with the generations.
