In 1995, Educational Insights developed a computer product titled Microsoft Bob, which incorporated the first GeoSafari quiz game, published by Microsoft Corporation and released under the Microsoft Home group. The following year, Education Insights developed other quiz games with a completely new interface independent of the Microsoft Bob framework and compatible on both Windows and Macintosh. Each game was about a specific topic:

GeoSafari Animals (October 1995)

GeoSafari Geography (1995)

GeoSafari History (1995)

GeoSafari Science (1995)

GeoSafari Knowledge Pad: The Plato Collection (2001)

The games are narrated by Richie Havens. In those quiz games, there could be up to four players. A player would then pick a sub-topic out of a collection concerning the relevant topic. During the gameplay a player is asked a question, provided with facts and clues and then has to pick one out of several multiple choice answers in a limited time to score points. The player would have three chances to get the question right. Upon running out of time, getting the answer wrong or choosing to show answer, the player would be shown the actual answer with no points scored. Upon completing all the questions, the player's score would be totalled. Getting a perfect score would grant the player a medal. If a player gets medals for all the sub-topics of the game topic, the player is awarded a trophy.

On March 1995, GeoSafari Geography, History and Science were packaged together with Microsoft Bob on a CD titled "GeoSafari Multimedia".
