“Down,” to get out of the truck, for example. Commands such as “go northeast” were obvious, and when the game told me I was hungry, it was easy enough to determine that I was supposed to find a town and “eat.” But were it not for a helpful Internet Archive commenter who posted the complete command set (which I did not discover until later on), I wouldn’t have known the more esoteric offerings.

I'm assuming this game originally came with a manual or at least a readme, because nowhere in Crosscountry Canada does it give you a command list (not to mention directions beyond “deliver snowmobiles to St. The game suggested no commands, but I was confident in my ability to improvise text input. Based on my new frame of reference, I thought it reasonable to take a route like so: Realizing I had my work cut out for me, I opened a new browser window and asked the internet for a map of Newfoundland. I know Anne of Green Gables happened on the east side of things. It was here that I discovered my first problem: I have no idea where anything in Canada is. I was told these things, then dropped into a map best described as minimalist. John’s, Newfoundland (the first of which was snowmobiles). I knew that I had to deliver four commodities to St. I began with only the barest idea of what to do. My unreasonable take is that I want to set the whole of Canada on fire. It’s a kids’ game from the dawn of the ‘90s. Crosscountry Canada is, loosely, an educational game, serving up a bit of geography drizzled with sincere patriotic sweetness.
True, driving a shipping truck around Canadian highways isn’t quite as gripping as fording rivers and mourning dysentery victims, but it strikes a similar chord mechanics-wise. Had I played this game in the first grade (the age I would’ve been when this was released), I probably would’ve enjoyed it in much the same way that I did Oregon Trail.
