Night Math Attack is a game for kids to practice all 4 math ops (+,-,x,
/) created with help from an educational consultant for use in local schools.
 The program has up-beat music, quality graphics, and no requirement for
fast hand control.  Following the title screen and instructions, the player
chooses which math operation of practice.  The game screen has a question
at the top, 4 answers down the left side, a helicopter in the middle, and
a choice of sound on/off at the bottom. The player uses the joystick or
cursor keys to fly the chopper up or down so it is level with the correct
answer, and then uses the joystick or space bar to fire a missile at the
answer.  A message then reports whether the choice was right or wrong.
 The "wrong" messages are followed by the question with the correct answer
to reinforce learning. Wrong choices are generated randomly so that students
will not become used to the same choices after repeated plays.  After 20
questions a "report card" gives the accuracy rate.  There is a print-out
option which prints wrong questions and out-of-time questions for further
study, which requires the printer driver to be in the devs directory of
the system boot disk.  NMA works on all systems tested so far:  the A500,
A2000, A3000, & A4000.

At the end of Night Math Attack there's a shareware screen offering the
sister game Spell Chopper for $5.00 incl shipping, so users effectively
get the pair for $5.00.  It has the same gameplay, except the missiles
shoot at the correctly spelled word.  Users can choose lists from grades
1-6.  ShareWorld issue 3 gave NMA a decent review.

NMA is available on Fred Fish Vol 7 CD and on Gold Fish Vol. 2 CD, and
