And my personal favourite, Eyewitness Earth Quest! I extracted the pictures of stones from the CD-ROM and used them as desktop backgrounds for a while. I found Castle Explorer, another Dorling Kindersly release, also very educational, albeit nigh impossible as a game! (Thus it also taught me not to consider spying as a profession, be that in Norman times or the present day...) I think the entire Eyewitness franchise, from the original books to the interactive games, can rightfully be considered a masterpiece both in multimedia and education.
