Like Mathematics I, 1 or 2 players can tackle addition and subtraction of various standards. But this cartridge will go further and take on multiplication and division too.
Three games are available in this compilation:
Matchmaker! (selected by pressing "1") is a regular Memory game. A matrix with 20 letters appears on the screen and the player has to find pairs of symbols hidden by the letters. Two counters will be displayed: time and number of matches. In two players mode (selected by pressing "2"), the players share the matrix and the one who makes more matches win.
Logix! (selected by pressing "4") lets the player guess a sequence of five different digits. The player types in the first try and the computer will display a two digit number with the number of correct digits to the right and the number of correctly placed digits on the left. The player has then to continue guessing the sequence based on the clues given. The object is to solve the problem in the least number of tries, counted on the left ot the screen.
Buzzword! (selected by pressing "3") is similar to the Hangman game. A row of dashes will appear in the screen, representing a word. Also, eight X's will appear at th
This one's not for stupid people. The goal of codebreaker is to guess a 3 or 4 digit number in 12 tries. The computer lets you know when your on the right track with some vague clues. In the second game, NIM, you and your opponent strategically remove blocks in an attempt to be the one to remove the last block.
The classic game of Hangman, in which the player has to guess a hidden word by suggesting letters. Only a certain number of letters can be tried - every incorrect guess will add an element to a drawing of a man being hanged at the gallows. The player loses if the drawing gets complete, due to his missing attempts at finding the letters in the secret word.
The game contains 64 game variations of this basic premise for either 1 or 2 players, with or without a score. Variations include:
The computer selects the word to guess;
One player comes up with a word for another player to solve;
The player is given one of the letters in the word to help him get started;
The game will tell the player he guessed the right letter but will not say where it belongs in a word;
The player isn't told how long the secret word is;
The player has to guess the letters and their location in the word;
The player has to solve an anagram.
Basic Math (aka Fun With Numbers) is a video game cartridge developed by Atari for its Video Computer System (later known as the Atari 2600). The game was one of the nine launch titles offered when the Atari 2600 went on sale in September 1977. The player's objective is simple: solve basic arithmetic problems. Game variations determine whether the player solves addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problems, and whether he/she could select the top number (the console randomly selects the lower number). The player uses the joystick to enter a guess, with sound effects signaling whether it is right or wrong.
Analogic is one of the 12 original games that were shipped with the Magnavox Odyssey system. It runs on Cartridge No.3 and uses play-chips with an overlay.
A math game where players can move to either squares depicted on the overlay based on if the number on the square is even or odd and is the sum of the other player's move and another number
Batnum, a portmanteau of "battle of numbers" is an early BASIC game based on the family of "object pile" games, which includes Nim.
The player and computer take turns removing objects from a pile, with there being a set minimum and maximum amount of objects that can be removed per turn. The objective is to force the computer to take the last object.
