I'm just curious how many educational games were released for NES. Something I wanna collect, as my mother couldn't find any of these games when I was younger. Add a few if I'm missing any, and please ignore things such as game show games or Wisdom Tree games. Thanks. Donkey Kong Jr. Math Sesame Street ABC Sesame Street 123 Sesame Street ABC/123 Sesame Street Countdown Sesame Street: Big Bird's Hide and Speak Mario is Missing Mario's Time Machine
My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

My NES knowledge is getting rusty after all this down time. I KNOW of more, but they aren't coming.
Firehouse rescue is a great game. I gotta grab that off eBay now..

In my opinion, in some ways ALL video games are educational, because they at least challenge you to use skills that you may not even know you had.

Mickey's Adventures in Numberland Mickey's Safari in Letterland These are both reasonably enjoyable platform games, but incredibly easy (something to do with the age of the target audience I guess).

I think all the educational games have been listed. So Rabidshark, if I were you those would be the ones I would grab and consider the educational game set complete. The game Color A Dinosaur isn't really educational, but geared towards children (obviously). Also, I haven't played it in awhile, but Zen: Intergalactic Ninja has a "save the environment" theme to it, though I can't remember if they state any facts during cut scenes or not. I still wouldn't consider it educational though. hmmm... I wonder if Bubble Bath Babes could be considered educational ;)

'Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?' could be considered eduacational, as it involves knowledge of history and geography.

Very good point, especially RPG's and puzzle-solving ones. If you can get through all the screens of Championship Lode Runner (Famicom), without a sore brain, you must be some kind of genius!

It also teaches patience, I still haven't made it to the 3rd woman yet; I'll make it someday, I hope. :wink:

I've been playing Zelda games since, like before time began, and now I look at someone doing a jigsaw puzzle ang go, "Pff. You need the boss key, duh!"
If you think you're right, you're probably wrong. If you think you're wrong, you're being negative. My thoughts are definitive; the universe is frequently wrong.
