Maps Europe

Overview

An educational computer game which teaches the locations and names of cities, towns, regions and rivers of Europe.

There are 3 modes, which are Opzoeken (Look up), Overhoring (Quiz), Het Stedenspel (The City Game). The game contains a mid 1980s map of Europe, as evidenced by countries such as East Germany, West Germany, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. It contains many names and locations of cities, rivers and seas.

In Look Up mode you can type the name of a city or sea and the game will point it out on the map. In Quiz mode, the game will point a randomly selected place and the player must type in the name on time. The helicopter mode is the main part of the game. The player controls a helicopter and must fly to a randomly selected city or location before the time runs out. When the helicopter is close enough to the target city or location, it will turn into a pulsating red dot.

Additionally there is an information browser which shows data per country or a bar graph comparing all countries. The data includes the area in square kilometers, population, agriculture, industry and service industry data.
