Math Blaster: Episode I - In Search of Spot is an edutainment game in the Blaster Learning System line of educational products created by Davidson & Associates. It is a remake of their earlier New Math Blaster Plus! from 1991. Versions of the game were released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis, simply titled Math Blaster: Episode 1.
Math Blaster: Episode I (Genesis)
The program was translated to Spanish and was published as Mates Blaster: En Busca de Positrón.
A sequel called Math Blaster Episode II: Secret of the Lost City was released in 1994 and a prequel for younger children called Math Blaster Jr. was released in 1996. The game Mega Math Blaster (also identified with subtitles 'ages 6-9' or '3rd Grade') follows the structure of Math Blaster Episode I with a new story and art design.
Spot and Blasternaut are preparing for a journey aboard their spaceship, only to find that the ship is not functional. Blasternaut, jumping to conclusions, sends Spot to repair a mechanism known as the 'polytronic combustion regulator' and the latter reluctantly begins repairs, while the former goes below deck. As Spot works, the Trash Alien flies by, captures Spot and departs, leaving garbage everywhere. Blasternaut, upon discovering this, contacts his superior officer, Galactic Commander, and notifies her of the situation. Galactic Commander immediately identifies the criminal and sends Blasternaut on a mission of four objectives.
The game features eight different subjects, which are chosen at the start the game. All the problems encountered in the game, except in the 'Cave Runner' exercise, will fall into the chosen subject. The subjects are as follows:
Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division
Number patterns - instead of featuring traditional equations, 'number patterns' provides the user with a series of numbers with one of the numbers missing. The user must identify the pattern to find the missing number (for example, if the problem presented is '5, 10, 15, _, 25', then the missing number is 20).
Estimation - the user must round numbers to estimate the answer.
Fractions/decimals/percents - the user must solve problems that involve fractions, decimals and percentages.
Review features a mix of problems from all the various subjects.
There are also six levels of difficulty, which adjust how hard the problems of the chosen subject are. If the user attempts to change subjects or leveling during the course of a mission, then the game will restart the mission. The various games are available outside the mission for study purposes. However, when choosing a game for play outside the mission, the user cannot advance through the mission and, if the chosen game is 'Math Blaster', then the user will not see Spot's rescue.
