About this game

Basic Math is a children’s puzzle game for the Atari 2600 that presents the player with ten basic arithmetic problems per game. Challenges cover simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Players solve each problem by using the joystick to cycle through numbers and enter an answer. An optional timer increases the difficulty. The game includes eight primary settings: the first four let the player choose one of the numbers involved, while settings five through eight provide random questions.
