Geography games!

I'm digging the geography games over at Sporcle.com.

How many world countries can you name? I got 159, and missed some embarrassing ones.

I got 168. I ran out of speed after 10 or 11 minutes, and it was no longer a typing contest. No truly embarrassing omissions, although I still feel bad about Costa Rica, Zambia, and Sierra Leone. The rest were too small to see on the map (although I may still have missed many of the smaller islands if I had seen them).

I rather like this version. It accepts multiple names for countries, something which is generally a problem with these games. But I'd prefer it if they were just colored in. Right now, the names obscure countries on the map.
