They were only really sold to schools, so all of the
software I've seen is educational.

There was a successor, the 480Z, but I don't know what

I remember a quite entertaining educational game called
Granny's Garden on it, and I think you could get Castle
L (a text adventure that was supposed to teach kids
maths) for it as well.
