- ancient culture, majestic wildlife, breathtaking sceneries, and an
- inventive and dynamic people. This CDROM was developed to teach an
- undergraduate course on economic development in Africa at Stanford.

- Along with pictures, "Welcome to Africa" includes a sophisticated
- role game wherein you will become Yamoussou Ouedraogo. Yamoussou is
- an African who, like many others, lives on a farm in one of the
- thousands of villages scattered on the continent. He has a family to
- take care of. Every year he must make difficult, life threatening
- decisions about what to plant, what to buy, who to help, and more.
- The world of Yamoussou is a harsh but generous one. Success is
- judged by your ability to help your children and friends.
-
- "Welcome
- to Africa" runs under Windows 3.1 on a PC compatible computer, 386 or
- above. It is easy to use and install. It's fun. It's beautiful.
