The first software that the educational/interactive fiction/adventure game publisher Topologika released was Peter Killworth's classic text-only Maths game. The BBC Micro version sold in thousands to teachers and parents who wanted youngsters (8 to 14-ish) to think about Maths in a picture-free, problem-solving environment. It was rapidly followed by Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and PCW, Atari and PC incarnations. It's just what young mathematicians need in today's over-structured and often demoralizing National Curriculum. It was later made available as freeware. |
