I certainly learned a wealth of trivia from the Carmen Sandiego games on the Apple II. I don't know that it specifically enriched my education, but I enjoy knowing trivia.

"Rocky's Boots" was great fun and stealthily teaches fundamental logical concepts. I never got to play "Robot Odyssey" (the sequel) as a kid, but playing it as an adult was fun and I could totally see how it would boost logical / computational thinking.
