The Middle East is a game which tasks the player with matching the Middle Eastern countries name with the correct country on the map below.

The game is part of kbears.com, an educational site, and features Winston, their geography bear. Winston flies over the map in his plane with the name of the country he wants the player to locate attached to a banner behind. The player gains ten points for a correct answer and loses five for an incorrect one. The player doesn't get shown the position of an incorrect guessed answer, but instead is presented with them again later on in the game. [source:mobygames]
