Mission Possible World Geography is a geography quiz, thinly cloaked in the guise of an adventure game. In the program, the user must answer randomly selected geography questions -- sorted by continent -- to help a secret agent progress on a mission to save the world from global warming.
Quiz questions are primarily multiple choice, .e.g. "Which city is the capitol of Canada?", with a sprinkling of location identification, spatial relationship, and scrambled letter problems.
