Freedom! Totally Explained

Everything about Freedom totally explained

Freedom! was an educational computer game developed by MECC. The player assumed the role of a runaway slave in the Antebellum Period of American history who was trying to reach the North through the underground railroad. The player's character was typically illiterate; written signs and notes appeared onscreen as indecipherable symbols. The game met a mixed reception; some educators found it valuable while others found it racially offensive. In 1993, a group of offended parents sued a school which had provided the game to students and Mecc, the developer. The game was pulled off the market as a result.
