[comp.sys.amiga] Math Games Wanted

Does anyone have any recommendations for an Amiga program for
teaching/practicing basic arithmetic skills (+-*/) ?
It is easy to write a program which picks random numbers for
drill problems, but the Sesame Street generation expects more
in the way of special effects.

Try Seirra ON-LINE in Coarsegold, Ca.  They produce a line of software
as partners with Walt Disney.  Disney does the artwork, Seirra the
programming.
Titles from here include "Donald Duck's Playground"

Or, Microillusions with "Discovery".  "As you explore and repair the inner
workings of DISCOVERY, you will be challenged with solving math and spelling
problems while being called uopn to muster every bit of your joystick skills.
The level of difficulty is set by you."

(BTW: The space ship "Discovery" looks like a combination plunger and TV
 antenna)
