Try Seirra ON-LINE in Coarsegold, Ca.  They produce a line of software
as partners with Walt Disney.  Disney does the artwork, Seirra the
programming.
Titles from here include "Donald Duck's Playground"

(Seirra On-Line Building, Coarsegold, Ca  93614  209-683-6858)


Or, Microillusions with "Discovery".  "As you explore and repair the inner
workings of DISCOVERY, you will be challenged with solving math and spelling
problems while being called uopn to muster every bit of your joystick skills.
The level of difficulty is set by you."

(BTW: The space ship "Discovery" looks like a combination plunger and TV
 antenna)
