Keeping in the grand tradition of making a nod toward Edutainment, and
following the axiom that better versions of old games might sell well and are
probably cheap to develop, we have Learning Fun I and its
happy companion Learning Fun II. This is an expansion of the original Math Fun
(renamed Math Master) cartridge, adding a new game–Factor Fun.
Math Master is just basic addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division skill testing. In Factor Fun, you try to combine
the numbers you're given via addition, subtraction, etc. to calculate a value
as close as possible to a given target number. The closer you are, the better
your score.
The title screen for the game is pretty. The Math Master graphics are
unchanged from Math Fun. Interestingly, the gameplay uses the 'backwards'
answer entry format–namely you enter ones place digit, then tens place, etc.
as if you were working the problem on paper. This is the opposite of what the
typical Math Fun cartridge offers. The official Intellivision Lives! site has
details about the Math Fun ROM variants (as does the Math Fun page at this
site). Factor Fun has nicer graphics than Math Master, and better sound. In
both cases, the sound is minimal. C'mon, it's Edutainment - it's not
supposed to be good!
