Question: Where can I download (or play online) a customizable version if the game nim?

I want a version of the logic/math game nim where I can set it up or it comes set up, so it starts the game every time with a 3 groups of 3, 5, and 7. I have a version where you have to click a lot on each category to get it set up every time you want to play. I just want to be able to click new game (or something like that).

Answer: Here's a freeware version of NIM

I downloaded it and it seems to work fine with Vista

You can customize some features of the game, such as how many rows of objects you start with.

Also, starting a new game is very easy...one click.

Hope that helped.

Question: Name of an elementary school computer game?

So I'm looking for the name of this game I played when I was in 4th-5th grade (1999-2001). It was a game on the computer that was used to teach us math. It was kind of like the game "fill it". On the screen there would be a big cross in the middle. on each side of the cross (up,dwn,lft,rght) there would be a math problem. In order to turn your little "ship" you would have to type the answer to whichever way you wanted to turn and press "enter". I remember it was a program on the computer so I don't know if it'd be online. And the game was multiplayer so you could play against your friends. Whenever you'd crash into the line of another player or the wall, you'd respawn. Any idea? Or am I just crazy?

Answer: Truly I do not know; however you may check out Oregon Trail 5. It's really fun and about the travel to the west in the 1850's. I suspect that it teaches about history.
