Line 4:
A discontinued though somewhat infamous entry in the ''[[Jump Start]]'' series of [[Edutainment Game|Edutainment Games]]. Four years after its release, it was replaced by a new version which was about [[Underground Level|mining]]... or something. In any case, it was not as memorable as this one.
As its subtitle might suggest, this game is remembered for its [[Nightmare Fuel]], which was presumably a factor in its discontinuation. Okay, the plot: You are a fourth-grade student who has missed one day of school.

* [[Pirate Tropes]]: The geography activity is pirate-themed, so it includes a number of these:

** [[Instant Plunder, Just Add Pirates]]: Well, pirates make at least as much sense as the Egyptian pyramid.
** [[Pirate]]: Type 1. The pirates are your enemies, and if you run into one of their ships, you'll have to sink it in a cannon battle mini-mini game.
*** [[Ghost Pirate]]: Possibly. You don't actually see the pirates themselves, but their ships are all white and ghostly. Oddly, your ship is too.
