About New Math Blaster Plus
Davidson & Associates published the first Math Blaster in 1983. This 1990 edition, New Math Blaster Plus, added VGA graphics and four activities covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages. Players pick a level and an operation, and the game keeps score across sessions. The Math Blaster name passed to Knowledge Adventure and then JumpStart, which stopped selling Math Blaster games years ago.
How it runs here
This is the original DOS release of New Math Blaster Plus, unmodified, running in DOSBox compiled to WebAssembly. The whole game is about 1 MB, so it starts within seconds on a normal connection. Sound and music play once you click into the game.
