Any good examples of edutainment?

Anyone else remember Lemonade Stand for the Apple II? It was a good intro to business/economics for kids.

My students play something like this constantly. Granted it's not on an Apple II...

Castle of Dr. Brain was good. Mainly a puzzle game built on Sierra's adventure game engine. Not very teachy at all, but it exercises logic.

Isn't that what most adventure games do though? Sure enough there are some every games by Sierra that have has very illogical solutions to certain puzzles though.

Fixed that for you.

Oregon Trail is the one that sticks out for me.

There was this Scorched Earth Artillery clone that I played that helped me learn about angles, that I could have sworn was called Tank Wars that we played at school on a Windows 3.1 system, but I've since tried to look it up and can't find it so it must have been called something else.

FTFY

Scorched Earth is an Artillery clone, albeit enhanced quite a bit.

I loved Zoombinis [on the Apple something?] back in the day. I think it was 1996 and my school had it. Had to share with all the other kids though.

Now I feel all nostalgic.
