Alien Addition
Alien Addition is an educational software title intended to help younger learners with Math. Developmental Learning Materials (DLM) who helped create the software for Texas Instruments (TI), calls the software an Arcademic title, an amalgamation of academic and arcade. The idea was to create a game that was educational, yet entertaining enough to encourage learners to keep playing. Alien Addition was programmed by Susan Powell and was released in 1982. Its original retail price was $24.95 (USD).

Gameplay
In Alien Addition, Space Invaders meets addition. Five alien spacecraft appear at the top of the screen and approach the player's laser canon that sits at the bottom of the screen. The unique difference between regular Space Invaders and Alien Addition is that the alien spacecraft display an addition problem, and the player's laser canon displays possible answers. The player needs to line up his/her laser canon beneath the alien spaceship that dispalys the correct addition problem for the answer his/her laser cannon corresponds to.
