Not exactly an education game, but Shadow President is why I know my world political geography much better than most.
Various games taught me more about the rough timeline of (especially) ancient history than school ever did. Crusader Kings II let me follow the unstated meat of the plot of Hamlet intuitively, in a way that I'd guess the vast majority of modern people without some equivalent experience or very specific education could not.
Mavis Beacon taught me to type correctly. Early Web free-for-all chatrooms and FPS in-game messaging taught me to type fast.
