Facts in Action

Facts in Action (1992) is what happens when education puts on a lab coat and decides to become a video game. Designed to teach while you play, it blends quizzes, problem-solving, and light action into an experience that is far more engaging than its title suggests. The questions are varied, the pacing surprisingly brisk, and the challenge feels fair rather than preachy. You can tell the developers genuinely wanted players to learn something without feeling trapped in a digital classroom. While the graphics are modest and the sound effects functional at best, the core idea carries the experience. Facts in Action may not deliver adrenaline rushes, but it earns respect for trying to make knowledge entertaining, and occasionally succeeding in ways that still feel clever decades later.
