Bought Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I think this will be great, different perspective on places I've been to, or just visualizing cities I've never been to. So far I seem to keep crashing because I have no clue about controls but I'm sure a few hours of youtube video guides will help.

Just a thought. I always though Civilization was very educational in introducing new concepts in their civilopedia. I got influent a long time ago but never got into it.

Are there other games that you would consider educational? Even if not full of encyclopedias maybe it inspires you to read up? I remember Panzer General 94' inspiring me to read up on WW2 hardware specs.
