Mathematics Can Be Fun disk and manual for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 19-08-2023
From my recent purchase of Microbee material there was a disk and manual for Mathematics Can Be Fun. The disk was a standard Microbee DS40 5.25" disk, bootable and not copy protected. It imaged 100% error free using a Floppyio. The Manual was A5 in size and 12 pages long.
The original copyright to the programs an
this disk is held by John Grimley. A special
arrangement has been made between Applied
Technology, John Grimley and the Education
Department of W.A. for copies of this disk to
be distributed to Education Department
schools in Western Australia.
John Grimley wrote a lot of educational programs for the Microbee including the Honeysoft Leaning Can Be Fun Numbers disk which is similar to this disk. Written for earlier 64k & 128k Microbees but with colour adapters, so the colours are very different if run on a Premium 128k Microbee.
Contents of the disk is -
1. MULTIPLICATION MUNCHER
2. ADDITION MUNCHER
3. ALIEN CREATURE MATHEMATICS
4. FRACTION RACER
5. TNT MULTIPLICATION
6. TNT ADDITION
7. SQUARE SHOOTER
8. MATHEMATICS RACE
9. CAGE THE GORILLA
10. TREASURE HUNT
