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 <F>orward, <B>ackward, or <Q>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
