Crosscountry USA is the first game in the Crosscountry series, developed by Didatech Software (later renamed to Ingenuity Works) and released in 1985 for the Apple II.
Like later entries in the series, the game is about driving a truck and delivering commodities to cities, in this case throughout the contiguous United States.
The husband of a wealthy banker—neglected and vaguely paranoid, influenced by a television series—is convinced that his wife is cheating on him. He has contacted a specialized adultery agency, which quickly uncovered his wife's incriminating activities.
Having heard of your excellent track record as a private detective, the wife now begs you to help her cover up the evidence and save both her marriage and her social standing.
As luck would have it, you’re currently at odds with the local crime boss, who’s given you a choice: leave the country within 24 hours or end up as fish food in the Seine.
Will you manage to complete your investigation? Who can you trust to help you? It’s up to you to find out—before it’s too late...

Moon Bingo is an educational game about rhyming words.
The player and their opponent try to fill in a 2x4 bingo card by matching rhyming words. Each space contains a word, and a word appears in the middle of the screen. If the player has a rhyme to the displayed word, they need to type in the correct rhyme from their board, and that space is taken. If there is no rhyming match, the word should be passed on to their opponent for a chance to score. The first player to fill their board wins. The game allows for single-player versus computer or two-player games with three separate levels of difficulty.
