This game is great for Canadians. It teaches Geography, some History, and lots more as you travel across Canada finishing mission and tasks to accomplish. It also teaches a bit about business and economics but mainly it is a great introductory tool for learning about Canada and the cities therein. Even though the game may be a tad dated, it still serves some purpose. After all, I still play it almost twenty years after it first came out. It has easy game-play, and does not require a lot of thinking.
It can be played by anyone, young or old. Even if you do not hail from Canada it is a fun game to play. Other games which teach you valuable things while having fun are Car Builder or the
Oregon Trail Game. Basic math, writing, and reading skills are also taught within these games, as well how to make important decisions affecting your play.
If you are new to the Canadian environment this game will also be just as helpful. You will learn place names, and different parts of Canada. It will make you think and charge you with tasks to complete, such as hauling corn to Vancouver or any other task that you choose to undertake. Even after all this time the game never gets
old. It's easy to understand interface and quick game-play allow you to play a game very fast, but will leave you wanting more.
Cross Country Canada should only be one of the many games you choose to download from this site. I admit, while they are no Mortal Kombat or Final Fantasy these games do not require hours to finish. You could easily play them twenty times a day and they do not become boring, just good fun. Let kids play them as there is no offensive material to be found at all.
Have fun exploring Canada, enjoy the many missions you will fulfill and have a great time. After all, each new time you play is a whole new experience just waiting to happen. Why not sit back and relax, and take off across Canada. I know I will!
It is good that these games are now freely available, and the programs needed to play them are also easily available online (emulators etc.). For just sheer fun or a great learning environment play any of these three games now!
