The Eliemouse What Count's Next Game This is a counting game for young children that will help them master counting of numbers. Eliemouse presents a series of four numbers and the child must figure out the fifth number by discovering the digit added to each of the previous numbers. For example, let's say the first four numbers were as follows: 2 4 6 8 After careful examination even young children can see that 2 has been added to each of the numbers to arrive at the following number. Therefore the last number would be 10. To make the game interesting, I have used Eliemouse as a playing partner who is counting peanuts (his favorite food, I might add). Very young children who have not yet learned about numbers can count the rows of peanuts instead. HOW TO PLAY Boot up the program, and an attractive screen will appear featuring Eliemouse and a frame in which the game takes place. In the lower right hand corner of the screen is a box marked FORWARD and in the lower left hand corner of the screen is a box marked BACKWARD. If you want to have the numbers appear from low to high, click with the left mouse button on the FORWARD box. To play the game in reverse, high numbers down to low, click the left mouse button on the BACKWARD box. There is a QUIT box when you are through playing. If you prefer to play only from the keyboard, simply tap the first letter of your choice orward, ackward, or uit. The DEMO version of the game only allows one play, and then you must boot the program over from scratch. The complete game will repeat continually. When you are through playing, use the QUIT option. This is a LOW RESOLUTION game, so a color monitor is required. It will run in other resolutions, but with horrible results. Stay with Low Rez. If you have only the DEMO version, you may order the full game from Albert Baggetta P.O. Box 759 Agawam, MA 01001-0759 The price is $5.00 + $1.00 for postage.
