GeOlympics
Description
GeOlympics is an educational, shareware, geography title comprising three parts; The game and the factual content of this title are based on an earlier product known as The Great Arc II*. The main screen shows a world map and contains all the functionality of that program in which the player selects two cities and the program calculates a line between them that continues on around the world to form a circle. This, and its associated functions are used in planning multi-leg journeys.

GeOlympics, the game referred to in the title, is a single player quiz game that is accessed by clicking on the five ring Olympic symbol on the right of the main screen. There is a three round practice mode but the aim of the main game is to locate twelve randomly selected cities from either their name, a description or clues. An example from the game's documentation says the city of Detroit can be identified from the following description "'Motor City'; RenCen, Silverdome, Greenfield Village".
Questions are timed, the player has ten seconds to click on the city's location on the world map and they have three attempts per turn. -
Finally there is ArcEdit which, as the name implies, is an editor that allows the player to change existing cities or add new ones.
