Such games are often, but need not necessarily be, educational in nature. They feature age-appropriate content, with no realistic violence or inappropriate themes.

They naturally avoid too-complex rule systems and are designed to be aesthetically appealing to certain age brackets. Before looking at the history of games specifically designed for children, it should be noted that most popular early arcade and home games would probably be considered as appropriate for children as adults. Only later would games with more mature content and themes, such as Mortal Kombat and Doom, enter the mainstream of gaming.

The s saw an increase in controversy over adult themes and violence in video games. That said, however, there has long been a demand for games which specifically cater to children. In , Don Rawitsch, a student history teacher from Carleton College, decided to create a computer game to explain a certain aspect of American history to his young students.

The game has been revised many times since, but the essence of the game remains the same: the player is responsible for leading a party of pioneers from Missouri to Oregon, facing the same challenges that real-life Americans did on the trail in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Originally released for the home computer, it has more recently been ported to new devices such as the iPhone. Oregon Trail is typical of a successful educational video game: it provides accurate knowledge while also entertaining the students.

A spin-off, Yukon Trail, was also created. Sequels included more specific locales, and one branched out into teaching history as well through the device of time-travel.
