Friendlyware
Released back when the computer was not yet a commoditized "household appliance" it is today, Friendlyware can be considered a marketing package that tries to convince people of the merits of getting a PC ("hey, this can help you your personal finance and have fun too"). The "Introduction" section contains a well-written introduction to computers, from describing the basic hardware, to how software works. Even without the intriguing historical context, Friendlyware remains a great 'grab bag' suite of ASCII games and applications that remain both useful and fun to this day. Two thumbs up! (as a side note, I had a hard time categorizing this on the site, so I have decided to put it under "Puzzle" because most games in Friendlyware are definitely not DOOM ancestors ;))
