* UnspecifiedRoleCredit: 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.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: When ''Reading Blaster Vocabulary'' was repackaged as ''Reading Blaster for 5th Grade'', the new box claimed that the premise of the whole game involved a U.F.O. spotted over Bizzaroville. This storyline is one of fourteen separate missions in the game, which are assigned to the player in a randomized order, making it completely obvious that the marketeers just plopped in the CD and wrote down the first thing that happened.
