I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned yet the incredible followup to
Rocky's Boots, namely Robot Odyssey I. Robot Odyssey used a similar
interface to Rocky's Boots, but had several extra features, and was in
addition one of the most undeniably _difficult_ pieces of educational
software ever written. I've studied mathematics and computer science,
and I _still_ find the Minefield puzzle a fairly hefty exercise in
design.
