Nimble Numbers Ned was one of three games designed for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 console. It's a math game where the goal is to make Nimble Numbers Ned jump over 100 numbered stones by avoiding his barrels of fun. To do so, the player must run through one of the three minigames.
The computer will ask "which drill?" followed by "how good you are?", and the player has to answer with a number on the keyboard (1, 2, or 3) and then a skill level from 1 to 5. The games selected are:
1. 
Name the Shapes: in this mini game, the player must identify correctly shapes on the screen. As one shape blinks on the screen, the computer will say "this is a [name of the shape]". The player has then to answer "Y" or "N". Each correct answer in the first try gives the player a chance to jump the barrels. Higher skill levels give more chances.
2. 
Multiplication Runthrough: this is a multiplication game with one and two place operations. The computer asks "what is XX x X?" and the player has to answer entering the numbers on the answer from right to left. Each correct answer gives an extra chance of jumping, depending on the skill level.
3. 
Function Machine: in this game, the player must solve functions with unknown variables. The computer will ask questions such as "if the number is X, what is the number plus Y?", to which the player answers entering the numbers from right to left. Higher skill levels imply more complex functions. As in the previous games, correct answers grant extra chances to jump depending on the skill level.
There's also a jumping practice game, selected by pressing 0. In this game, the player can train to jump the barrels, but progress won't be saved.
