Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot

[@dorifriedman]

Hey Hey... this is crazy seeing this here! I was on the design team! (actually came up with the Cave Runner concept)... Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories. Funny you recorded the whole game! Awesome! DF

[@moebacca]

Great work on the game! I have fond memories of 2nd grade playing this game. Glad someone recorded a full playthrough on KZbin. It's shorter than I remember, but as a 7 year old it was probably tougher to beat than being 33 haha

[@kalimabillupsKG]

You are awesome. I grew up on this game. Thank you for your contribution.

[@jjjjx]

I know this comment is 12 years old, but I randomly just remembered this game from when I was in elementary in the 90s and would love playing this in school. I thought it was the coolest thing ever lol.

[@fhoffman656]

I hate math cuz y’all

[@Er1ku]

That's awesome! I played this as a kid and loved it. Now I'm getting my masters in CS!

[@sibeisun5272]

I'm 31 years old. Today I randomly thought of this game vaguely, not even remembering it was a math game. So I googled "90s computer game with trash in space" and found this video, and boom, its like I'm back in 1998.

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

I only remembered that it was a math game but fun even as a chikd and was surprised about the trash part but immediately remembered when I saw it haha

[@YoutubeDictatorship2024]

38 here. We played this in computer class in grade school. Holy Hannah Montana this was a long time ago

I can't believe I found this! I was trying to explain to my husband this computer game that I loved as a kid and found this!! Core memory unlocked!

[@NewportBox100s]

This brings me back. Grew up playing this on Windows 95. Good times.

Almost dropped a tear I finally found this game after years of trying to explain what it is..reasons why I love the internet era this my childhood 🤲🏾

Oh my god. I remember playing this in like 1st Grade...

[@AddisonAnimatesStuff]

I used this in 1st grade myself and nobody knew how to finish the first level until I tried and fixed the game by pressing the space bar. XD

THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE GAME!!! Thanks for sending me down memory lane!!!

[@LowIQinHQ]

Omg when I was a kid I was so bad at this game because I couldn’t do math… I just wanted to shoot trash!!! Now I’m an engineer with a minor math. Thanks MB!

[@SonicPAJ]

Somehow this unburied itself from the depths of my subconscious.

[@ZakWolf]

Ahh, the memories! My elementary school had it, and we also had a copy of it at my house to play on the family PC. This game's also got one of the very few Y2K bugs to have actually happened, with the "Mission Accomplished" certificate seen at the end, but at least it's a harmless bug.

[@tjtank20]

Throwback. Just turned 27 and I remember playing this when I was like 6 ..ahh nostalgia ☝️️😌

[@b_dockk]

OMG THE MEMORIES

[@blue-sea8901]

[@jaredharvey4927]

I just got a rush of memories as soon as I heard those sound effects. This is awesome!!

[@JoshGerhards]

I loved this in 1st grade... Brings back so many memories.. Also, KidPix! I will still never be as devastated when I found that they removed Math Blaster and KidPix from the school computers.

[@Mjessee56]

Been looking for this game for over 20 years!! Seemed impossible to find...just brought back sooo many memories being at my grandparents. Thank you!!

[@eLMoney20]

Man, this brings me back to the 90's lol

Takes me back.. I’m here with my shorty and we was talking about this .. had to find it . When times was simpler.

Just randomly came up in my recommended. It's been 15years since I even thought of this game

[@dogman15]

I'm so glad I had the idea to make this video all those years ago.

[@Jackedpure]

Really loved this game as a kid, we got to play it from time to time in 4-5th grade. Just came back into my head the other day so i decided to look back and man its still nostalgic and im 30 now lol

[@FixingCrappyCars]

I never really realized that Spot's abduction was the direct consequence of Blasternaut being a selfish dick.

[@cruzautorepair601]

So many years and all of a sudden comes to my head lol crazy how our brains work

Man , you took me way back. I remember playing this in elementary school in a huge beige Compaq. Time flies!

This game was huge for me as a kid! Cute to see it again and reminisce. Good game to teach math AND recycling. 🙂

[@stevarino1989]

4th grade computer time. God I miss this game. haha lol. I still remember the cut scenes word for word.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

I cannot tell you how many hours I have played on this blessed game. I'm very well convinced that it was this game that help me find my love for simple mathematics! I would give anything to play this game again!

[@notthatdigusted7468]

I just noticed the same voice actor is doing the blaster naunt's voice as Marvin the Martian. It took me about 24+ years to notice that!

[@dogman15]

How did you "notice" something which isn't true? Mark Sawyer voiced Blasternaut in this game, but he's never voiced Marvin the Martian in anything. He might be doing an impression of Marvin, or an allusion to that type of voice, though. Marvin the Martian was first voiced by Mel Blanc, then eleven other men, and is currently voiced by Eric Bauza. When this game came out, Marvin's voice was Joe Alaskey or Maurice LaMarche. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_the_Martian Sorry to burst your bubble there, but I had to set the record straight.

[@RyanOnWeather]

wow! nostalgia!!! I was just thinking of hooking up an old computer for my son who is now entering kindergarten to help him with math and spelling. This game came to my mind!!

[@RipperRoo92]

Blast from the past. I used to play this growing up along with the peanuts point-and-click learning game.

I love how the game can't show years in the 21st century, so it rolls over to 1910.

[@gregorysimonson5232]

Yeah, this is about the only thing I know that was affected by Y2K.

[@dhLord64]

Its been like 10 years since I have played this. I just now remembered of the game while I was playing something else. I couldn't think of the name. Good memories, except that second level! UGH

[@dogman15]

Wow! That's amazing! You're in the game credits! I loved playing this game when I was a kid. If you do some searching around (possibly in the related videos) there's another video on KZbin where a guy plays through this game while he narrates it, so I'm not the only one. Also, I am the guy who completely revamped the Math Blaster Episode I article on Wikipedia to have all those pictures. One last thing: Why has the Math Blaster series changed so much since this game? Drastic art changes...

A note to everyone: This software is indeed available USED for as little as $1.98 (US dollars) at Amazon.com, so if you really want this game, I suggest you scurry on over there. Search "All Departments" for "Math Blaster In Search of Spot" (having "Episode I" included didn't give me much luck.)

@computermaster: Punctuation (like question marks "?") can do wonders. In an attempt to answer what might be a question, this game can help younger players with basic to intermediate math skills, but I think it's "maximum" age is in the low 'teens somewhere.

My mom got this game for me because I was bad at math. Looking back I don't even think it was helpful, but it was fun as heck! Thanks for the nostalgia

I remember playing on my parents old windows 95. I had Math Blasters, and two of the Clue Finders, the ones with Mathra, and the mummy... Man that computer, once the millennium hit, never gave me a date higher than 1997. I miss it sometimes.

[@dogman15]

The game is able to display years ranging from 1900 to 1999 on the certificate.

Your right. It's been far too long that I've even seen this game ( and computer) in action.

[@dogman15]

@schwebs900: I'll have you know that I'm actually pretty good at math. Knowing that my performance was being recorded, and that I was trying to do the entire game in less than ten minutes, I rushed a bit and made careless errors. I also played on Addition Level 1 to try to save time, but I can obviously do multiplication, division, and other levels. You'll notice I made less errors as the game went on.

"What version of Windows are you running this on?" This program was running on Windows XP when I recorded this. Due to the nature of the program, and compatibility mode (I assume), the window it runs in takes on a Windows 95/98 appearance.
