I remember playing with 3D Movie Maker extensively. Me and my mate would make shitty movies usually ripping off James Bond or Indiana Jones.

I also used the other McZee programs, Creative Writer and Fine Artist, which were basically a fancy text editor and a fancy paint program.

It feels like we don’t have anything like that today, there doesn’t seem to be this type of creative game out there. I would have expected 3D Movie Maker to have unending sequels, like the one with Nickelodeon, getting more advanced with each decades pop characters, but it just stopped.

I guess I’m looking for kid-friendly versions of business applications.

Like Creative Writer is Word for kids, Fine Artist is Photoshop for kids, 3DMM is Maya/Blender for kids…

    Dreams seems like the obvious answer, as creativity is its intention. I also wouldn’t count out Minecraft. The fact that people can build functioning computers from the most basic logic circuits is pretty amazing.

      Not quite what I’m looking for. I was after the kid versions of business applications. Like Creative Writer is Word for kids, Fine Artist is Photoshop for kids, 3DMM is Maya/Blender for kids.
