0:38 Blasternaut: Spot, stop revving your jets. I can't hear Galactic Commander. Spot: I'm not revving my jets! Blasternaut: Well, then- HEY! Someone's following us! Galactic Commander: Oh, I can't believe this is happening. Spot: What? Wait, what's happening? Galactic Commander: Dear old Dr. Minus have us in his sights. Dr. Minus: Just playing a friendly little game of subtraction, Commander. One Galactic Forces cruiser down, the whole Galactic Forces base to go! (laughs maniacally) (lasers firing) (explosion) (all screaming)
1:52 Dr. Minus: Sorry about your ship. I’ll send you a few squadrons down to lend you a hand! (Laughs maniacally and flies away) Spot: You won’t get away with this, Dr. Minus! Blasternaut: Well, except that we’re stuck here on this alien planet and the nearest city looks abandoned. Galactic Commander: Abandoned, maybe. But that’s the Lost City, Blasternaut! Blasternaut: Then let’s go! If we hurry and discover the secret powers, maybe they can help us save the Galactic Base!
Well... this is how I spent my weekday afternoons after school in 7th grade back in 1998. I had to go to math tutoring and I would usually lie about having math homework just so that I could play this game. I became somewhat hooked on this game. How dare someone lure a child into being educated with the presentation of a video game?!
Weird. I went from math blaster to Halo. There seems to be a connection there. Uncovering a secret. Exploring a planet. Space ships. Green guy. Robot lady basically cortona. lil robot guy is guilty spark
1:28 - 1:46 Waited so many years to hear that triumphant and kickass theme song again - of the two Math Blaster games I played as a kid, I liked the theme in the first one, but this one has that extra "UMPH" in it. [Why, in your copy, does it say "MATH Secret of the Lost City" instead of "MATH BLASTER Secret of the Lost City"?]
I got this with Math Blaster 9-12 but it won't work on VMware's with Windows 98. Only 9-12 works but secret of the lost city doesn't. Says it needs e2cd32.exe but it's not on the disc. Maybe I need to go buy the older version?
