Educational Games based on true stories/events/information

Post by Soldier Blue »

Any ideas for video games based on true stories/events/information for consoles? I can think of the History channel series on the 360 and PS3 but I can can't think of too many more examples. I'm also drawing a blank for educational games.

The Oregon Trail is the first one that comes to mind.

Edit: Romance of the Three Kingdoms
and Nobunagas Ambition are loosely based around historical facts.

How about the Carmen Sandiego games? They basically require you to look everything up in an included encyclopedia.

I used to play this on my Packard Bell 286 Computer. Loved it.
