Math Blaster: Episode One

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. 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.
