Numerons is one of the first programs to become available for the splendid Lynx microcomputer. The producers are to be congratulated in trying to combine an educational function within a game format.

The aim of the game is to fire numbers, between 1 and 9, at invaders which themselves bear numbers.

In the standard option of the game, as the invader makes its way down the screen, it can be destroyed by being hit by a number which divides exactly into the number on the invader. The higher the number fired, the more points are scored.

The numerous variations to the game, such as day and night display, nine levels of difficulty, three arithmetical versions and a system of incentives for achieving high scores, all add up to a game which can be re-played many times without losing interest.
