Simulation games, like the ones Maxis used to make (other than SimCity). SimEarth, SimAnt, SimTower, etc. Those were educational and fun.
I also once played a simulation game that realistically simulated running a shipping business where you shipped things by boat, sailing your fleet from port to port, dropping off your cargo and loading new cargo, giving the occasional bribe, etc. while avoiding bankruptcy. I think it was called "Port of Call." It was made a long time ago, and I haven't played anything quite like it since then.
Not exactly educational, but Sid Meier Pirates was also a lot of fun.
Yes, I totally agree with this. I would play these games so much growing up. Especially SimLife.
I like sim games where you feel like you're experimenting with a scenario, not just trying to get the highest score or some win condition.
SimAnt was awesome
I still get that bass line from the bgm stuck in my head, all these years later.
SimFarm was surprisingly fun.
