You know I was actually thinking this the other day, I know so much about Egyptian, Roman, civil war, and WWII history entirely from video games... Ceasar 3, Civilization, The Nile, are any of those games still being made? I feel like it's just civilization. Really developer's back then didn't even have a reason to throw in the history stuff but they did, for context and just a love for history.
