Wikipedia description:
The Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (later Corporation), most commonly known as MECC, was an organization founded in 1973 for the purpose of advancing availability of computer software in education. MECC is best known for developing the edutainment video game series The Oregon Trail and its spin-offs. The initial goal of the organization was to coordinate and provide computer services to schools in the state of Minnesota, but its software eventually became popular in schools around the world. MECC had its headquarters in the Brookdale Corporate Center in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. It was acquired by SoftKey in 1995 and was shut down in 1999.
