WHERE IS ASSASSIN MEANS LIKE IT TAUGHT ME HISTORY TO SOME EXTENT

[Yalonda]

I remember playing these games also! :) But what killed me was when he pronounced Oregon wrong. He said OR-EE-GON When it is "OR-IH-GEN" hahahah. It drives me crazy! 

[tyrota]

assassin creed series should be on the list

[limegreensquid]

I had a DOS version of Math Blaster!
Also had a DOS Carmen Sandiego. At school, i was the only kid to reach "Master Sleuth", at which point the game says, "You win too much, you can't play any more" in a more graceful way.
My favourite educational game was Midnight Mysteries or something like that - you played a sleuth at a school while a mad scientist was making robots that were causing all kinds of trouble. You had to memorize clues and photo the guilty robot, in between answering questions.

[Erkkistoryteller]

That warms my heart.
( There is a video called "WW2: The winter war Russia invades Finland part 1" I think that would be a spot to start at, if talking about recent history. )

why not gta it taught me never trust anybody

[dannyparker]

COD:Black Ops taught me a bit about the Vietnam war. But when she asked me to name one major hero I said Frank Woods. Maybe I should have actually studied.

*Hears Lasercorn talking about a game that brought his typing skills up... Learns that it's Mario Teaches Typing and not Typing of the Dead. Then proceeds to spit out coffee*

[aishanivarma]

Yes! The Jump Start series are the first thing that come to my mind when you speak of educational games. I loved the Jump Start 1st grade :D

[Andorune]

Math blaster and Mario teaches Typing, two games that I know very well over a decade ago. Good times. 

[DisjoinedCrib]

Spore teaches you that creatures rapidly grow random arms and change shape entirely because they ate enough other animals.

[TheProswagonist]

All I remember is everyone in my class fighting for the one computer that had jump start on it

[carlosjcabello]

In computer class, I remember that we used a very good series of educational games: they were called "Adventures of 3rd Grade" It has various sequels for 4th 5th and 6th grade, but the 3rd grade one was my favorite!!

[curtis]

When lasercorn brought up the words "we are helping kids..." I was like "yeah sure ur gonna make a joke about this" I was waiting the whole time he was talking about to say "nah were just f*cking with yea!" But I guess not lol

[jamiechesnut]

If you think about it assassins creed has a lot of educational stuff in it. It was surprisingly accurate

[TheDanodani]

Top 5 friends in videogames: Elizabeth in Bioshock, Navi in the Legend of Zelda... (Yeeah, suuure, Navi...)

[DumbleDawson]

I'm not ranting but, on number 1, lasercorn said a game that let's you shoot people, what about typing of the dead, it let's you shoot zombies while improving your typing speed, I don't want to get any shit from anyone, it's just a suggestion, I am perfectly fine with the list.

[UltimateBuckyBoy]

Reader Rabbit and also the clue finders games were so good.

[paulfischer]

ClueFinders should totally be on the top 5! IT WAS THE FUNEST EDUCATIONAL GAME I EVER PLAYED!!!!

[imstupid]

Oh, I remember the Oregon trail. It was SUCH a good game.
