Although it takes a full six minutes to load, this program cleverly provides you with several pages of instructions on the screen while you wait.

At the end of loading you are rewarded for your patience with a superb high resolution colour map of the world.

This educational program tests your knowledge of geography; specifically countries of the world, their capitals, the counties of the UK, and seas of the world.

Geography 1

Given a country, sea or county, you move the cursor over a map to show you know where it is.

If you are wrong, the program gives you the correct answer.

There is provided a learning mode to give you the ten answers to the test prior to the test.

In each of the five categories of test there are several blocks of ten questions, so it will take some time to learn all the answers.

Superb on-screen maps of the world, Europe and Great Britain enhance a well-produced cassette.

It demonstrates how home computers should really be used, and puts all arcade games to shame.
