I've Got Your Number

About

Two player math race where you move your avatar to collect orbiting numbers that solve problems displayed at the bottom of the screen. Controls use directional sticks to walk up down left or right with a button to duck through tight spaces. Correct answers score points and advance the round while wrong answers reset your position and remove the incorrect option. The game cycles through addition subtraction and symbol matching with increasing difficulty. Each match is won by reaching ten points first followed by a new game starting automatically. Originally released in 1979 for the Odyssey 2 and Videopac G7000 the game includes adjustable difficulty letting younger players start with symbol recognition before progressing to arithmetic. Competitive multiplayer action and instant feedback make it one of the earliest examples of gamified learning. The retro digital aesthetic and simple mechanics appeal to fans of classic educational titles though its charm may feel dated by modern standards.
