Yeah. Totally worthless and not mentionable.
Problem here is that Sim City is not an educational game. It's a sim game.

Carmen Sandiego? Give me a break... I played that game when I was 10, and it's perfectly in the age range you should play this game... I've found it boring as hell. I actually prefered the learning part to the game itself.

Maybe that's because some of those games were so awfull that they did get mentionned as "influantial"... I clearly remember M.U.L.E. being cited in numerous PC gaming magazine as one of the worst multiplayer interface ever created...

Sim City is education whether it intended to be or not. Resource management, cause and effect, etc.

Also, whether or not M.U.L.E was one of the "worst multiplayer interfaces ever created," is kind of irrelevant.
