Production
Production
The game was officially announced by Davidson & Associates in February 1996 as a spin-off to the series of Math Blaster games that began with the 1982 title Math Blaster!, and it was intended for younger audience. At the time of the announcement, the game was expected to be released in the second quarter of 1996 but was delayed later into the year. Jan Davidson, president and founder of Davidson & Associates, explained that once players master this game, they are expected to graduate to Math Blaster Episode I: In Search of Spot, which is the narrative successor.
