Advantages: cool, learning, fun

Disadvantages: none

If you find yourself lacking in the general knowledge department, this could well be the game for you. Your mission is to trot around the globe by plane, train and automobile earning your keep in forty different jobs going right across the employment scale form chef to psychologist.
Along the way you must build up money and energy by answering questions on all manner of topics while walking around the maps of each city completing photographic assignments. Once you have enough money to buy a roll of film, you can visit your intended site and take a stunning snap, which will earn you money and points at the Globetrotter Club.
The question range from the purely educational to the downright trivial but the longer you play, the more you will learn about the various locations.
Finding your way round quickly is essential, as your knowledge of each city will be constantly tested. Before long you will be a mine of information on hundreds of subjects and this game really does fulfil the adage that learning can be fun. There are lots of pictures and famous landmarks to see.
The information is at times fascinating and will improve your general knowledge considerably, far more than any quiz book or games of Trivial Pursuit. The graphics in the game are basic but the pictures are great and the maps are all geographically spot on.
This game may have a limited life span as you get more used to the different questions and locations but the 4.000 pictures and 4,000 questions are enough to keep you guessing and learning for a while.
