I remember that series, it was basically Myst but as a learning game. I played a bit of ‘Chemicus’ as a child but also never got far. These games where probably all way to hard for children. I wonder, do learning games even exist anymore? I spent many hours with games like ‘The Mystery of Mathra’.
I think they do make some kind of edutainment but not like this. Point-and-click adventures were relatively easy to integrate some education into but the kid needs the time and patience to find a solution when they inevitably get stuck (perhaps with hints but not walkthroughs). Their attention span is too short nowadays because content comes more often than on 1 CD-ROM per month for the delayed gratification of exploration and puzzle-solving to work.
