Another excellent game in The Learning Company's outstanding "Super Solvers" series, Operation Neptune is a math edutainment title similar to Treasure Mountain, but aimed at older kids.
As with other Super Solvers games, Operation Neptune combines fun platform action with educational puzzles so well integrated that kids will have fun without realizing that they're learning. The game helps build a solid math and problem solving foundation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages. Problem solving hints, calculator, and customization options are all only a keystroke away, making the learning process easier and more enjoyable. Real-life problems such as using area, distance and volume to make measurements help kids see how math can be used in the real world.
Last but not least, kids will also learn how to read and interpret found in charts, graphs, maps, and tables throughout the game. The graphics and animations are sharp and attractive, and user interface is very intuitive. Two thumbs up!

-c [CGA Graphics Mode]
-e [EGA Graphics Mode]
-t [Tandy 1000/TGA Graphics Mode]
-sn [no sound]
-si [PC Speaker sound]
-sa [Adlib Sound] *This is usually the best/easiest mode*
With no command line switches and DOSBox mapping to an MPU-401 MIDI device, you may experience no sound due to the game trying to use it's Roland MT-32 mode. If you have an MT-32 or are emulating one (Google: MUNT MT-32 Emulation), it's well worth setting it up for this game. Use a CM-32 ROM (in emulation) to get ALL of the sound effects.
on.exe -sa does adlib audio. on.exe -si is pc speaker. Haven't found any other combinations yet.
how do i install this on a vmware vm running windows 3.1?
I love this game. I tried to play it in vDos and with the "Play in your browser" simulator. but I can't get past where it says to insert the disk into Drive A and press enter. Any tips? I'm not very computer savvy, but I can do a little Dos with help from the internet.
Thank you!
'Maths'. Thank you.
Another excellent game from my childhood!:)
But, I have a white noise over sound in the game (run thru DOSbox 0.74). Is it possible to solve it ?
Glad I found it!
Hello. I tried to download "Operation Neptune," but I need a 64-bit version instead of whatever is on the download link. Thanks!!
I thrashed this game as a kid. It probably helped that I didn't suck at maths.
I can't get the soundblaster sound to work with the DosBox generic settings... not sure what settings the game wants. Booting the game exe using the extension "ON.exe -si" loads with internal speaker sound for that retro beepy goodness.
Breathed new life into the old PC - my 9 year old loves it.
I love this game! Part of my childhood! LOVED IT!!!! Highly recommend it, if you're wondering :D
brilliant game to teach maths my kids loved it really gave then a great understanding and capability to think through and solve any variety of maths problems, they all did well in maths at school as a result/
