- mxfh 7y agoThough Encarta evokes a bit more of Civ VI Sogno di Volare to me, but I share the sentiment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQYN2P3E06s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQYN2P3E06s Besides Encarta, the mid 90s where also the time where I was first able to buy satellite imagery on CR-ROM for all of Germany from my collected lunch money and years before Microsoft's TerraServer changed the world, which itself was long before Google Maps took over. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8q89q4/microsofts-terraserver-was-google-earth-before-there-was-google-earth https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8q89q4/microsofts-terrase...

- jcranmer 7y agoIt shouldn't be that hard to build MindMaze on top of Wikipedia. I wonder if anyone's done it? Although I do remember the hard geography questions very frequently just being "What is the county seat of (insert random US county)?"
