Play Fun With Numbers Online

Game Overview

Fun With Numbers is one of those weird, charming relics from the Atari 2600’s early days—basically a math quiz wrapped in blocky pixels. You’d move a little cursor (probably just a square) to pick answers for addition or multiplication problems, and honestly, the whole thing feels more like a classroom tool than a game. But there’s something oddly satisfying about how barebones it is—no frills, no power-ups, just you and some arithmetic.

It’s definitely aimed at kids, though I’m not sure how many actually enjoyed it back in ’77. The colors are aggressively simple (think bright orange backgrounds), and the "challenge" is about as exciting as a worksheet. Still, it’s a neat little time capsule—proof that even back then, Atari was willing to try anything, even if that meant turning homework into a joystick activity.

If you’re into retro curiosities, this one’s a fun five-minute distraction before you go back to shooting space invaders.
