Eli's Ladder
This game was designed to help teach children addition, subtraction and counting. Eli has to get back to his spaceship. In order to climb the ladder, he has to solve addition or subtraction problems. A problem appears with four answer choices below. Move the joystick left or right to select your answer and then press the button. After 20 questions, Eli arrives at his ship. If you get 18 or more correct answers, Eli will jump for joy and the word WOW will flash.
The child always uses the right joystick. In two-player configurations, the parent uses the left joystick to advance to the next problem, start the game and count the apples. In single-player configurations, it advances automatically.
The left difficulty switch is used to select one or two players. The right difficulty switch is used to select addition or subtraction. These must be selected in the main menu before starting the game. The game select switch returns you to the main menu if you are in a game or changes the game number in the main menu. The TV Type switch changes the input and output of the tally screen in a game or adjusts the pacer (timer) speed in the main menu.
There are three game types, each with up to ten difficulty levels. In game type one, called Practice, there is no time limit. The child can take as long as he or she needs to answer the problem. In game type two, called Pacer, there will be a plus or minus sign at the bottom that moves from left to right. If it reaches the barrier on the right, the problem is marked as incorrect and you move on to the next one. You can adjust the speed of the marker from the main menu with the TY type switch. If your difficulty level allows counting, when you switch to the counting apples screen, the timer stops and when you return, it restarts. In game type three, called Ghost, in addition to having a time limit, the only answer selection shown is the one below the arrow.
