Mission Statement
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I was looking through a bunch of my older games and was wondering to myself
why I didn't write any FAQs for these classics. So I decided to write a guide
for one of my favorites. That is why this guide is here today. I hope it can
help you out.

__________
Objective: This game originally came out with the intent to teach the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ person playing the game how to do their basic math functioning.
It was one of the beginning games that began the "edjucational"
genre of video games that cought on so well..... well maybe not.

Division - Level 1 A set of 10 division problems this section is the most
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ difficult because you must deal with decimal points.

B A S I C
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The game will give you a question that will look like this....

5 The cursor will be blinking, what you will need to
+ 3 do is hit the Up on the joystick until the number
¯¯¯¯ <Solution spot 8 is showing. Eight, being the answer to the
¯ <Cursor problem. If you have a division equation, then you
would have to have 1 6 for the same numbers (5
divided by three would be 1.666(repeating). Since the game only rounds to
the tenths collumn that would be your answer.

•============================================================================•

A great deal of gratitude is expressed towards all webmasters on the Internet
that spend their priceless time and hard earned money for the sole purpose of
allowing people from all different walks of life, come together and discuss
and help each other with video games. Without that time and that money, the
video game industry would be nowhere near what it is today. Thank You All.
