Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division all in one video game!? AWESOME!!! Classic Game Room breaks out the calculator for Basic Math for the Atari 2600. All the fun of math with none of the hassles of school. Basic Math is like the great grandfather to the Leapfrog educational video game system. Children can learn from this game, it is a children’s game (sort of)! In this game… if you can call it a game… you add and subtract under the intense pressure of a timer. You could cheat and use an abacus to solve these complex equations though, the Atari would be none the wiser.

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing PS3, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. Xbox Live Arcade XBLA. Problem solving. School, teacher’s aid, teach, tutor.

    I’m a big supporter of learning from video games. Just look at Brain Age. That game is very popular, yet it’s nothing but math and reading. My guess is to what made it popular is it makes people feel good when they see their brain age become younger.

    Video games have helped me with my math:

    20 buildings were originally standing and I destroyed 20 of them, how many are left?

    20-20=0

    Hooray for math!

    Educational Video games are a great idea. Thanks to video games I’m prepared for zombie invasions, alien attacks, street fighting, and battling robots (they’re the worst).

    One thing I’m not ready for? Math. I never played this game.
