Want a game for the kids that's educational and constructive?  Tired of them
blasting aliens?  Night Math Attack is a motivational game for practicing all 4
math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), created
with help from an educational consultant.  Faster speed and accuracy at these
skills result in better problem-solving math ability and higher test scores.
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 to 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 no 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 boot disk.  Practicing math facts as little as 5 minutes 
a day usually results in a grade score improvement.
