                                  THE NUMBERS GAME

                                    June 14, 1995

          This is  a little  game I created originally for my own children.
          Basically, it  has the  four mathematical  functions of addition,
          subtraction,  multiplication  and  division.    It  provides  for
          various levels  of difficulty  starting at the Kindergarten Level
          which, of  course, is  Level I,   right on up to the Expert Level
          where I  run out  of fingers and toes.  It also asks the children
          how many games they wish to play at any one time.

          In the  end, the  correct responses are tallied up and a decision
          is made  at the  75% level  as to  whether or not the child is to
          pass.

          The nice  part about this game is that it is all set to music and
          it  is  fun  and  challenging  for  the  children,  but  terribly
          difficult for me.

          Version 2.3  puts prompts  into the  game  at  the  end  of  each
          iteration allowing  the child to see whether or nor he or she was
          right or  wrong.   If the  child inputted  the wrong  answer, the
          correct answer  is displayed  providing the  opportunity  to  see
          exactly what  went wrong.  Afterwards, of course, another song is
          played.

          Now this  is shareware,  and if you would like to become an owner

          P.S. I  feel very  fortunate  that  The  Numbers  Game  has  sold
          numerous copies throughout the world.  The more interest I see in
          my work,  the more encouraged I am to continue doing this kind of
          stuff!

          I might  also point  out that  I have  developed  a  multi-player
          version of  the Numbers  game where up to eight children can play
          simultaneously.  The game keeps track of the score for each child
          and allows  the final  scores to  be printed out as well as being
          displayed.   The multi-player  version is  suitable for  teams of
          children to  compete together  in a  friendly  rivalry.    It  is
          suitable for  schools or  other settings where groups of children
          are  interacting   together.    Please  contact  me  for  further
          information regarding pricing.
