SNES. The PC version had slightly better graphics and voice acting.
And yeah, although this "edutainment" game was widely maligned and a bit light in the fun department, it did have some good modern-style backgrounds for its time. A savvy RPG Maker user could turn them into tilesets, which is why I got the idea to rip them in the first place. If you ask me, an RPG is the perfect type of game to teach kids about geography and map-reading skills; it was the original Dragon Warrior that piqued my interest when I was only eight or nine years old.
