No doubt that the best ones are Professor Layton games. Most people dont ever realise these games are educational. Hmmm. While I profess to being a huge fan of the Layton series (played all 6 games), I don't really consider them educational because most of the puzzles barely have any practical application. Same reason I wouldn't include Brain Age or Brain Academy, despite rather enjoying both.

I actually enjoy Mario Is Missing (SNES version!) from time to time. The music is great, and the idea of travelling around the world is fun. It only warrants short bursts, though. Nice to hear someone else publicly state that they enjoyed this one. It was incredibly simplistic, but it still felt fun somehow. Mario's Time Machine...not as much.

Those games teach you to think more critically or respond to patterns fasters, that is several times better that teaching someone where the capital of Montana is. People usually think that someone is inteligent because knows lots of things that can be useful, but the real inteligent guy will take whatever he knows and find how to use it for his benefit. That is because I really apreciate puzzles games that are not based around moving pieces or general repetion of the same stuff just a little more twisted every time.

Although not educational, Outpost 2: Divided Destiny taught me multitasking.
While racing and driving games taught me the basics of driving.

I liked those Munchers games as a kid, and I also liked old black and white Oregon Trail. Never cared for Carmen Sandiego much. As an adult, I've enjoyed Typing of the Dead and Typing of the Date. That's about all that's coming to mind, although I'm probably forgetting some stuff.
