They can't compete with Fortnite or Minecraft, but Castle of Dr. Brain was so good I played it back in the day and didn't think of it as educational ;)

It's so cool that you can get this on internet archive absolutely free, inside the browser, in a JS emulator!

I used to play so many of those educational point and click games as a kid. Don't remember the details well but it seems the style has died out in the last decade.
