Description
I recently acquired a copy of "Sierra's School House: Math". Unfortunately I don't have the box or the manual, but the discs turned out to be something of a treasure trove, containing what appears to be at least two complete games that I didn't have before. (EcoQuest 2 and Pepper's Adventures in Time.)
There are also "Science" and "English" versions that I don't have. I'm guessing they have the same set of extra games, because I was tipped off that "Science" had EcoQuest and Pepper, and only the main game differs? (They're all on the first CD.)
One of its remaining mysteries is the "hoyle" directory. ScummVM doesn't recognize it, but suggests it may be a "hoyle5" game. I have not been able to get it to run in Wine, so I can't say for sure. The file sizes suggest that it might be a demo, perhaps?
Matched game IDs for the sci engine: hoyle5-fallback
{"resmap.000", 0, "ed75b87fd5b69097e3a09dd39de7e2fe", 3697},
{"ressci.000", 0, "cbfe69aa4b9e23ddbf640301709a65eb", 2478642},
Adding it anyway, it does start and runs long enough to display a "hand" cursor. But then it immediately crashes:
ERROR: [hoyle5-fallback 900 sierra::doit @ 01bc]: [VM] kPalCycle: subfunction ID 112 requested, but not available!
This is a complete list of the files:

The .map files are output from WATCOM Linker Version 9.5, so presumably not part of the game. The sierraw.exe seems large enough that it might contain debug information.
