Upon the thrill of finding some great stuff this weekend, I came across some truly strange C64 carts. I am still figuring out a way to post pictures. Here is what I have. I know that Commodore did have some extensive educational ties with education in the 80's. What I didnt know is that educational carts were made. Here is what I have. These carts have a typed white labels with a copyright of 1984. The three carts are:
States and Capitals Tutorial
Human Skeleton Tutorial Hu
Utah Counties Tutorial.............. O_O United States Geograpy Series
If anyone has any info on these carts please let me know. I will try to boot them up and laugh.

Digital Press does not deal with the rarety of Edu-carts or diagnostic carts.
That being said, I think those were part of a package that was soft to schools.. might be uncommon just because they are all in some landfill.

isn't there quite a bit of stuff for the c64 note rated in dp vol 7? read the intro to the system and maybe it will tell why.

Oh trust me, edutainment and educational type cartridges, as long as there is some sort of gaming in there (even if it's the sort of answering what 2+2 is) are included in the list. I should know, I'm the one doing it :P
Hence the reason for the Spinnaker, Fisher Price and Westermann entries.
If you can fire a picture of them here, then I can have a look :)

I believe it's because it's a GAME SYSTEM, not a computer. In other words, it seems inconsistent, but since the systems are different, don't expect consistency across them.
