GEOCLICK v 1.2

  Geoclick is a  game which is meant to help you 
memorize where towns, countries and other 
are located in a map. In each game you will have to 
click on the map where the requested hotspot 
(town, country ... ) is located. You may choose 
whether you want to use a blank map or a regular map. 
You can change and localize the hotspot name. 
Several maps are available for download, as well 
as the opportunity to browse all available maps. 
The game is highly customizable and is meant for several users.
This game won't replace an atlas, 
but it is funny and useful enough to have 
you improve your geographic knowledge.

(at least 16 MB, P133) when several maps are loaded.
