GeoSafari

A GeoSafari quiz game application created by Educational Insights Interactive was one of eight program applications included in the 1995 Microsoft Home Pack, which featured Microsoft's "social interface" Microsoft Bob.[3] The following year, Education Insights developed other quiz games with a completely new interface independent of the Microsoft Bob framework and compatible on both Windows and Macintosh. Each game is about a specific topic:

• GeoSafari Animals (October 1995)
• GeoSafari Geography (1995)
• GeoSafari History (1995)
• GeoSafari Science (1995)
• GeoSafari Knowledge Pad: The Plato Collection (2001)

The games are narrated by Richie Havens.[4] In those quiz games, there can be up to four players. A player then picks a sub-topic out of a collection concerning the relevant topic. During gameplay, a player is asked a question, provided with facts and clues, and then has to pick one out of several multiple choice answers in a limited time to score points. The player then has three chances to get the question right. Upon running out of time, getting the answer wrong or choosing to show answer, the player is shown the actual answer with no points scored. Upon completing all the questions, the player's score is totaled. Achieving a perfect score grants the player a medal. If a player earns medals for all the sub-topics of the game topic, the player is awarded a trophy.
