World-Wise

Another learning program from Bourne Educational Software, this one is aimed at a slightly older audience but follows the same pattern as the likes of Animal Vegetable Mineral by having the user update and complete information as they go on to fill its database. The game is split into two halves - the U.K. (or France, if you're playing Le Geographe!) and The World. You can input various landmarks and landmasses (such as towns, rivers and coastal views) and then be quizzed on them based on a set number of parameters. As with many educational games from this era, it's more a curio nowadays than a proper educational tool.
