Guide Review - Number Madness
For those of you who enjoy this type of game, the Number Madness add-on can be loads of fun. Although achieving the end result can prove to be quite difficult, everything else about the game from its layout to the gameplay controls couldn't be simpler. The add-on offers practically nothing in the way of customization so if you don't care for the giant grid boxes, the gray background, or the default window size then you are out of luck. With all that said, this is a challenging little game and just might give you the mental workout you are looking for.
