Rodney's Funscreen is a collection of five children's learning games aimed at teaching children to use a computer. Rodney's Funscreen was created by Activision, from a concept by Rodney Alan Greenblat.

There was a port for MS-DOS using the MADE engine, but the MS-DOS version has lower resolution graphics and is overall a more compromised experience.
