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.
