    Which Nordic-made games did you play as a kid? I can only really recall playing one of the Josefine games, dunno which one, though.

      Tended to be tie-ins with childrens books such as Pettson and Findus and Astrid Lidgren properties. Those used to be available in the library.

      The only games I had at home that were in Swedish were Caesar III and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Not sure they were available in Norwegian though. Caesar III was notable as it employed Hans Villius who was the guy that was employed for almost all Swedish history programming from the 70's to the 00's.

      There was a pretty decent selection of Nordic edutainment games in the late 90s/early 2000, both original titles and translations. I remember Flåklypa Grand Prix being extremely popular here in Norway, as well as the Josefine and Mulle Mekk games

      I played a bunch of those children's edutainment games, and also a game called I.G.I 2: Covert Strike. It was made by a Norwegian studio, but I don't remember if it had Norwegian language support. I think it was more it was more intended for an international audience. The gameplay was pretty good, but I also remember the story being about a western spy going around "saving the world" by murdering a bunch of Arab, Russian and Chinese soldiers, so I have mixed feelings about it
