States & Capitals Tutor

An educational quiz on the 50 United States and their capitals. Each question asks either for the capital of a state or for the state a capital belongs to. Slide the pencil down a list of six answers and press the button to pick one; a green tick marks the right answer and a red cross a wrong pick. A right answer takes the state out of the round. A wrong answer shows the right one and the state stays in to be asked again, and so does HELP, the seventh line, which simply shows the answer. The right, wrong and help counts are kept after every question, with the number of states to go. Rounds of 10, 25 or all 50 states. Finish with no wrongs and no helps for a perfect score.

Controls: Use either controller. Push up and down to move the pencil and press either button to answer or go on. On the title, up and down choose START, HOW TO PLAY or CREDITS, left and right set the number of states, and a button goes. The keypad is not used.
