The game is simple -- the numbers advance from right to left. The player's controls are increment their digit and fire. Firing removes the first matching digit. The speed increases are the only challenge and even then it reset to slow once the fastest is reached & passed.

There is also an accumulator that adds your fired digits and when the modulus is zero, a "flying saucer" (denoted by a small case 'n') will appear for extra points. It's supposed to mimic the space invader game where there are flying saucer coming out every now and then.

It was extremely popular in Asia back then. I recall the receptionist in out office plays w/ it all day when there was no internet for her to kill time.
