Math Blaster Story

In Math Blaster you play as Blasternaut, and go on a mission asssigned to you by your Galactic Commander. Although you also have a dog named spot, you spend the game with no supporting help.

Game Mechanics

Although designed to be purely educational, the addictive quality of the shooting hugely boosted the sales of the product. This was helped by the fact that the game was educational, making it one of the few games that Parents wanted their children to play, and the children who played the game enjoyed it.

Remakes

In 1989 a remake was released as Math Blaster Plus!, in 1990 as New Math Blaster Plus!, and in 1994 as Math Blaster: Episode 1 - In Search of Spot.

Legacy

Math Blaster! has spawned the Blaster Learning system(continuing franchise), as well as a TV show, and has been the base for many future educational action games.
