My older kids (7 and 10) get a lot of use from Pirates (from
Micro Prose).  Pirates is a fairly accurate historical simulation of
naval, political, and historical aspects of the Caribbean, circa
1600-1750.

I know that *I* have learned a lot of history and geography from this
game, and I suppose that my kids have, too.
