Long Lost Games

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me figure out the name of an old game I used to play at school in the third grade, (1992-93). If I remember correctly the point of the game was to develop your math skills. Your bomb load out depended on the number of questions you were able to answer correctly in a given amount of time. After you completed the questions you then flew a bomber jet through a side scrolling level where you tried to take out certain buildings and bridges while shooting down or dodging enemy fighters. I do remember it being on an Apple computer but the model escapes me. I'm pretty sure the game but was in color but limited to blue and brown.

How about this list ?

Or this one ?

Or maybe an educational game written in BASIC ?

Re: Long Lost Games

OMG! Back in first grade, when we would mess around by deleting the shortcut, and then magically resurrecting it ala the trashcan! At least, I think that was Number Munchers...
