Plot

Swamp Gas Visits the United States of America is an educational game designed to assist students with their knowledge of United States geography, for up to four players.

The players select missions from a pop-up menu. Sometimes, due to a malfunction from the mothership, the alien will face a Close Encounter that must be dealt with by correctly answering a multiple-choice question regarding the alien's current location.[5]
