Fire!

An arithmetic drill for young players. A ten-floor building is on fire with one person waving at a window on every floor. The fire engine arrives, the ladder goes up and the fireman climbs to the top. Each floor asks one problem in addition, subtraction, multiplication or division; a right answer puts out that floor's fire, saves its person, who then stands on the sidewalk, and sends the fireman down a floor. A wrong answer brings NO!!! and the same problem stays while the clock keeps running. Three levels set the clock for the whole building at 90, 68 or 45 seconds, and the last ten seconds tick. Save all ten for a fanfare and YAY!!!, with the seconds to spare shown; if time runs out the building burns down to rubble.

Controls: Use either joystick. In the menus push up and down and press the button to pick. The answer is set on one or two digit wheels beside the floor: up and down turn the wheel, left and right move between wheels, and the button gives the answer.
