- Night Math Attack is a game for kids to practice all 4 math ops (+,-,x,
- /) created with help from an educational consultant for use in local schools.
- The program has up-beat music, quality graphics, and no requirement for
- fast hand control. Following the title screen and instructions, the player
- chooses which math operation of practice. The game screen has a question
- at the top, 4 answers down the left side, a helicopter in the middle, and
- a choice of sound on/off at the bottom. The player uses the joystick or
- cursor keys to fly the chopper up or down so it is level with the correct
- answer, and then uses the joystick or space bar to fire a missile at the
- answer. A message then reports whether the choice was right or wrong.
- The "wrong" messages are followed by the question with the correct answer
- to reinforce learning. Wrong choices are generated randomly so that students
- will not become used to the same choices after repeated plays. After 20
- questions a "report card" gives the accuracy rate. There is a print-out
- option which prints wrong questions and out-of-time questions for further
- study, which requires the printer driver to be in the devs directory of
- the system boot disk. NMA works on all systems tested so far: the A500,
- A2000, A3000, & A4000.
-
- At the end of Night Math Attack there's a shareware screen offering the
- sister game Spell Chopper for $5.00 incl shipping, so users effectively
- get the pair for $5.00. It has the same gameplay, except the missiles
- shoot at the correctly spelled word. Users can choose lists from grades
- 1-6. ShareWorld issue 3 gave NMA a decent review.
