Jumpstart 1st grade full playthrough classic 1995 version
JumpStart 1st Grade (known as Jump Ahead Year 1 in the United Kingdom) is a personal computer game created by Knowledge Adventure in 1995 intended to teach a 1st grade curriculum. It was updated significantly in 2000 and was replaced by JumpStart Advanced 1st Grade in 2002, which was later replaced by JumpStart 3D Virtual World: Trouble in Town. The original 1995 version (also referred to as the Classic Version) was the first appearance of Frankie, a brown, anthropomorphic dog who would go on to become the mascot of the JumpStart series.

Gameplay
The 1995 version of the game consisted of an interactive schoolhouse full of educational activities, songs, and the like, with Frankie the school mascot in charge of guiding the player around. Playing activities earned points, which could eventually be traded in for milk cap rewards. The classic version contains the voiceover and singing talents of Mark Beckwith of Razzle Bam Boom and Glynnis Talken Campbell including the songs My Friend and Vegetables.
The 2000 version was based on a similar concept with Frankie taking on a more student-like role, and picking the player to be his partner in the school treasure hunt. Playing games now earned the player clues to help the user find the treasure. There are four sides in the hallway to go somewhere. Two are outside areas and two are inside areas. The four sides are a classroom, a cafeteria, field trips, and a playground. The player earns 100 points to earn a milk cap. There are 30 math caps, 30 reading caps, 20 nature caps, and 20 time caps.
Reception
A reviewer from Superkids recommended the game from younger players, who would not become bored from the repetitive tasks and activities.
