The only games from my childhood I can ever recall being like that when thinking back would be the edutainment style games I had, obviously.
I don’t think I ever had any type of games that taught teaching. I had games like hooked on phonics type stuff and a Land Before Time math game, among a few others.
Typing was never something formally taught to me, even from a video game. I guess by the 2000s they just didn’t think it was important enough to be taught in elementary school to kids. Yet cursive was deemed something we needed to know.
My parents got my on PC young, used to love the Jump Start games and magic schoolbus games.
Non edu games I remember fondly from that time, Jazz Jack rabbit, Earthworm Jim, the flying toaster games, pajama Sam, putt putt, Freddy fish.
My wife said spy fox must be added :D
