Just picked up an iMac and would like to purchase some educational titles for my kids (3,4,11). I was browsing the Apple software store but they have 0 educational games listed!

I can only imagine this is not being maintained by Apple. I had heard that it was transitioning to an online downloadable process, but where can I see the offerings? They do a good job on the App Store of showing me iPhone educational titles.

Have you tried the App Store? (Not the iPhone one) There are quite a few games in there. There is a whole section on educational games.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Yep, all of the educational titles that are available for download are in the App store, just like the iPhone one. I guess Apple is going discontinue that section of their website soon. Whatever happened to apple.com/games?

There are the traditional Reader Rabbit games which I think are still updated by the publisher... but a lot of the old games were never updated. we have old discs of Dr. Seuss, Pajama Sam, etc which we use on an old laptop.
