With its last hushed, wheezing breaths, the NES delivered two sister titles. Like the Pokemon series after it, these releases pose the player with an introspective question: will you go on a safari through the country of Letterland, or will you make haste to solve the crises that plague Numberland?

Whichever you chose, Mickey Mouse is your humble avatar. In this adventure, players will be put to the test with mind-boggling algebraic equations as they reclaim Numberland's national treasure back from the clutches of one villainous Captain Peg-Leg Pete. Not alone on his quest, Mickey will meet with the the country's lone defender, Sheriff Donald Duck, who despite his ability isn't able to tackle the threat without the Mouse's help.

From the dizzing heights of the Numberland space station to the the treacherous pits of the menacing Number Factory, this is surely one of Mickey's finest outings in the realm of gaming. If I, a mere groveling reviewer, could afford this game a full five stars, I would. Alas, I will have to give it the valor of one half star.
