Long Description:
-----------------
CULTURAL AWARENESS v1.14 <ASP>
Educational game to test and improve your child's "cultural literacy."
Two levels of play. At Novice level, the game is suitable for students sixth
grade and up. At Advanced level, the game is a challenge for adults! Topics
include proverbs, idioms, grammar, children's literature, mythology, music,
art, philosophy, the Bible, world religions, American history & geography,
world history & geography, science & technology, medicine, and mathematics.
The program displays a randomly chosen topic on the screen. Players respond
by typing in a free-format description of anything they know about the topic.
The program monitors the players' responses and awards points when it decides
that the players have demonstrated a genuine level of familiarity with the
chosen material. A model response is presented, and the program goes on to the
next topic. As the game progresses, players pass humorous milestones of
achievement as they break records set by imaginary players of ages past.
Players are given one hour of game time and can interrupt and resume their
games. Time-outs of indefinite length are provided with the game clock stopped
to give players the opportunity to study the model responses at their leisure.
