Return to Numbers Land
Back in 7th grade, instead of math class, I wrote a console-style RPG for the Apple ][. It was called Numbers Land, and it allowed players to learn practice arithmetic while fighting low-res creatures across a fantasy world a sprawling eight tiles across. The 5th graders who played it compared it favorably with Number Munchers, which is high praise indeed.
It's been many years, and that 5¼" disc is around somewhere but probably long-since demagnetized, but I still keep Numbers Land on the list of things I'd like to do — better next time.
Better graphics. A bigger world. More creatures. More variation in the type and difficulty of math. More plot. ( More puns )
