I was the opposite... I played Sid Meier's games because I liked history.

The game Is somewhat educational all the sword attacks are real .Except for voodoo most weapons are real. The ship types are real. So some things are real, but just a few.

Reading faster. That's what i meant

Well they learned about Starboard side and Port side.

Name was Peter and the Starcatchers. it was a series. read all of the books.

Oh wow! My teacher acutally has that in his liberty. Nice mate!

- hands fruit punch - sorry not old enough for rum :P

When my daughter was about very young she wanted to try some online games. I started her out on POTC. Her reading level exploded it seems. She goes to a private school which is very strict and she test out at 2.5 years ahead of her grade level. She started POTC about three years or so ago. She can also type at about 30 wpm.

The only way I think it might be able to help you educationally, not including what Del said, could possibly be spelling and some history.

Because of the Chat I find that my spelling as improved since POTCO.

This isn't really educational, but I would imagine playing POTCO would increase typing speed, spelling, and ease of use with a computer. I suppose it could also develop a few social skills from chat and whatnot, plus some interesting stories, but that's about it.

kindergarten eh?? Stay away from abassa tortuga is all I have to say...

well the question is how long did it take u to read and did your teacher give u a gold star for being so studious.

I actually use math a ton in game. I am always calculating how much rep until level up, how many enemies until level up, how much gold until level up, and I could make a list that would take days to read.
