Description:
Never-Ready Calculators is a unique gaming experience which is a cross between a platform game, a math game and a logic game. The basic idea is to collect all the batteries on each level and then get to the calculator. There are various objects on the board (such as elevators, moving lifts, beach balls, various types of blocks) which can either hinder you or help you. For example, some batteries are behind locked vaults. To open the vaults, you have to drop number and operator blocks beside the vault that sum up to the vaults combination.

Features of the game include:

  • Automatic saving of unfinished games
  • Hints for every level
  • Play back of partial OR entire solutions
  • Ability to switch sound effects on or off
  • Keeps track of solved levels
  • Save/Restore up to 10 unfinished games
  • keep statistics for up to 12 different players
  • Music Tracks
  • Editor for writing your own levels
  • 80 levels, plus more levels available at our Level Exchange

New in version 1.8 and 1.9:

Moving lifts, music tracks,  more levels, access to level exchange, the save screen in the level editor is now less confusing, and more. Versions 1.8 and earlier of Never-Ready Calculators gave a "type-mismatch" error when performing division on a vault for users who had their computer's regional settings set to something other than English. Version 1.9 fixes this problem and the game should now work regardless of the regional settings of your computer.

Note on System Requirements:
To keep the download file as small as possible, the Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime files needed to run the setup program and the game were not included (since many people already have these files on their computers). For more information, or to download these files, click here.
