Numbers Up! Volcanic Panic (PC CD)

It is possible to get this game to work in Windows 10. First I set the Compatibility Mode for the game. To do this, right-click on the Volcanic Panic icon and choose 'Open File Location'. Then right-click on that Volcanic Panic icon, click on Compatibility and tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / Windows Me'. Underneath I ticked 'Reduced color mode 16-bit color'. Then click OK to save these settings. Now, everytime I want to play the game, as I have two monitors, I have to disable one of my two monitors by right-clicking the desktop and choosing Display Settings, then under Multiple Displays I choose 'Show Only on 1' (or 2) instead of 'Extend these displays'. Once the Windows desktop is only displaying on a single monitor I can launch the game and it works fine. My 5 year old and 8 year old boys both love playing this game together. It is as in the product description although looks a little bit dated, and as you can see from my notes above it's a bit of a fiddle to get it going on Windows 10. The author could well do with polishing the graphics a bit for newer hardware, making it work in windowed mode (or at least correctly when the desktop is extended across two monitors) and fix the Windows 10 compatibility issues.

Product brilliant. They are a really excellent company to deal with. I strongly recommend them and I would not hesitate to use them again.

Good fun whilst also helping my son learn!

I do alot of extra school type work at home with my 2 boys, both are in the top tier in the class(yr5, yr3). For something different, I purchased this software, both boys LOVE this. I have since bought five other titles from Edalive, nuff said!! Do your reseach for the best price. Edalive Number Up! Volcanic Panic (PC/Mac)

My son (7) loves this game - and does not realise quite how much maths he is doing! Have since bough Baggin the Dragon - which is also really good and tests slightly different maths skills.
