I think that few people would say that learning to play the guitar is a
game; there's a CD-I disc of guitar instruction.  Last time I flew United,
the in-flight magazine had a two-page ad for CD-I players and educational
discs for management people on topics that I doubt people would consider
games (e.g. sexual harassment).  I'm not familiar with the entire list
of titles, so those are just two examples; I expect that there are
many more.
