Trivia / Blaster Series

• Cross-Dressing Voices: Illitera, the female villain of Reading Blaster: Invasion of the Word Snatchers, is very obviously voiced by the male Mark Sawyer. Presumably this was the only way to make her sound more sinister.
• Descended Creator: Mark Sawyer (also credited as Mark Schwarz) was the voice director for some of the later games, and also provided various additional voices for those games.
• Dummied Out: Writing Blaster, a combination simple word processor and art program has a feature that converts words to pictures from the art half of the program and back. There are a few words in the word processor that can be converted to pictures that aren't in the art program.
• Franchise Ownership Acquisition: Originally created by Davidson & Associates, the Blaster franchise was acquired by Knowledge Adventure in 1998.
• Unspecified Role Credit: In Math Blaster Episodes 1 and 2 and Reading Blaster: Invasion of the Word Snatchers, it's easy to figure out who played which character, as only Mark Sawyer and Laura Boedeker were the only two actors. However, in some of the later games, the actors were only listed under "Character Voices", without the role(s) they played being mentioned.
