When I was growing up I went through a bit of a phase where I was addicted to video games: Choplifter, Dig Dug, Frogger, B.C.’s Quest for Tires, Donkey Kong, Zaxon …

Nowadays the graphics and plots of these games are almost laughable. However, they sure were fun. That’s what I liked about those games - they were fun.

I don’t ever remember playing “educational games.” I do recall moving that Turtle on Logo around in our school’s Commodore 64 computer lab.

However, some studies are showing that many video games, even the ones just thought to be fun, might actually teach your childen some skills. Check out a detail article about the games here at MSN Encarta.
