Author's Description: How well do you know Europe? is an educational game that tests your geographical knowledge of Europe.

You see a map of Europe with border lines, rivers, lakes, seas and topology (the altitude is shown by color, brown means mountain, green means plains) marked, but without cities and their names and get asked to find a city. Then you have to click on a point of the map where you think that that city is. Then a line is drawn where the city really is and how many kilometres the spot you clicked on would be away from it. After 10 asked cities the sum of kilometres is taken as a (locally saved)high-score entry -- the less kilometres away the better!

features:
42 cities (mostly major cities, but not only)
locally saved Highscore system

possible future features:
more cities
online-saved global highscore


hardware requirements:
(come on, no PC can be THAT weak XD)
screen: resolution with at least 1024 pixels width and 800 pixels heigth (tested on 1280x800)
processor: nothing special (tested on Pentium M singlecore ~1.6 Ghz)
GPU: nothing special (tested on ATI Radeon X700 XL)
RAM: about 10 MB ram consumption (tested on 1,5 GB DDR2 RAM)

What's New:

1.1
Added summary of where you clicked for which city and how far you've been away just before the highscore

Overall Rating: 7.0
  • 7It does indeed let me know how well I know Europe, which is very little :) Not a complex game but it works and looks nice. I couldn't exit out of the game, or see high scores, once I got to the summary. But maybe my score just wasn't high enough.
