I spent a lot of time playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and The Legend of Zelda.

I have warm memories of both. But I didn’t learn anything from Zelda- it was pure entertainment and connection to popular culture. I can still hum the theme song. I did learn some stuff from Carmen Sandiego.

Zelda games force you to think critically. I wouldn't consider it directly educational, but it's not mindless either.
