Well, we're lucky to have some of those, check here.

And as I posted in that topic, I found boxes for Skeletons and Simple Machines. I will have to try those out and see what are they like, obviously some kids learning stuff. Company still have active site, they deal mostly in books and similar, possibly don't even remember about these games.

Well, there are too many approaches to "learning" software, obviously. Dr. Brain and Freddy the Fish was excellent (well, after flaky first part of Freddy), Super Solvers are so-so for me... but I cannot name anything else that would be educational and fun.

Treehouse series (Backyard and some more). There was one game with garden plants. And some dinosaur games that are now very rare. Well, you could even consider Dinosaur Tycoon and Pizza tycoon to be somewhat educational. Oh, and Leisure Suit Larry series, naturally.

But yeah, it is hard to implement education into something that is fun, especially with modern day attitude that learning is not fun but "work" that has to be done purely for grades.

Scholastic is not an ESA member.
No buylinks found.

I think we can label the games as 'approved'. Can anyone confirm that?
