PC Globe[1][2] is an atlas for MS-DOS,[3] Microsoft Windows,[4] Apple Macintosh[4] and Atari ST,[5] first released in 1987 by Comwell Systems Inc.[6][7] It offered information on 177 countries and dependencies.[6]

The minimum system requirements of the initial PC version of the software are a IBM PC XT/AT compatible computer running MS-DOS 2.0, 256 KB of RAM and a CGA graphics card.[6] Distributed on multiple floppy disks, the program is divided into several menus that allow to user to access data.

The database includes a geographic map of the world, with the possibility to select the country of interest. For each state there are maps and information (for example, the policy framework, the demographic situation as well as tourist information).

Two related programs, PC Nations, a companion program with flags and anthems of 175 countries and PC USA, focusing only on the United States, were also released.[8][9][10]
