Kids (5-9 years) love Treasure Mathstorm! A nicely animated enhanced version provides kids with a basic, arcade-style math problem-solving adventure--one which kids never seem to tire of! Best of all, it seems to emphasize real-world skills, including counting money and making change. Children become Super Seekers as they scramble up the wintery, snow-laden Treasure Mountain in search of treasures and super math puzzles to help rescue the mountain from the Master of Mischief, who has cast an icy spell on the mountain.
This program, perfect for home or the classroom, helps kids build their math, money-counting, time telling (analog and digital) and critical thinking skills. There are plenty of elves to capture with nets, clocks to set, scales to balance and crystals to count in Treasure Mountain's magical land where math rules. Of course, it's up to your child to keep track of the money bag and net counter to make sure he or she doesn't run out of money or nets. There's a convenient store on each of the three mountain paths where kids must make up the exact change to buy needed items. One of our favorite activities is The Time Igloo, where kids are asked to match a digital clock to a cuckoo clock (or vice versa). It's an excellent time-telling activity for kids and great money-earning game! The goal in Treasure Mathstorm! is to unearth the treasures hidden beneath the snow to take them to the castle. Of course, it's not easy getting up the mountain--kids dodge snowbullies--flying snowballs--while having some major mathematical fun! Teachers enjoy this program because kids there are two ways to play this software--drill and practice (addition, subtraction and multiplication) and problem solving math questions.
Also, you can customize many different options and games, including six different math levels which can be adjusted (manually or automatically) to the player's abilities. Kids are motivated to keep playing this game--partially due to the treasure counter at the bottom of the screen which keeps track of the total number of treasures they have found. Kids earn a rank from Trainee (0) to Champion (450) depending on how many points they've earned by playing the math games. Treasure MathStorm! is one of four titles in The Learning Company's Treasure series--all aimed at kids ages 5 through 9 years.
For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox)/Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
