i came across this game, the ultimate geography quiz. you're given a city name and a country, and you have to pinpoint it on the map. you can pit your wits against another person, if you dare.
geosense.
because there are no rivers, and only the largest lakes visible, it can be really tricky to pinpoint cities in some of the amorphous countries. like salt lake city.
i got to within 40 km accuracy. not bad, i guess. the game points out how woefully ignorant of all the countries in africa or those of the former ussr.

Dude. Addictive even though it makes me feel like a total idiot.
it *is* addictive. i was elated just to get the country correct! in all fairness, I think that pinpointing cities can get a little tricky on a flattened world map. And what's up with leaving major rivers out? They could at least show the Nile and the Amazon.
