2	''Alge-Blaster 3'' is an EdutainmentGame in the ''[[VideoGame/BlasterSeries Blaster]]'' series. As the title might suggest, it teaches algebra.
3
4	This is the third version of ''Alge-Blaster'', hence the "3" in the name. However, much like with ''VideoGame/MathBlasterInSearchOfSpot'', it's the first version to feature a storyline. Said storyline is about the friendly planet Quadratica getting invaded by the belligerent Red Nasties.

6	In 1997, this game was remade as ''Math Blaster: Algebra''.
7	----
8	!!This game provides examples of:
9
10	* AlienInvasion: This game centers around countering the Red Nasties' invasion of the planet Quadratica.
11	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Red Nasties are an evil alien race dedicated to invading other planets.
12	* BigRedDevil: They aren't particularly big, but the Red Nasties are nevertheless red with devil horns.
13	* {{Cephalothorax}}: The Red Nasties have bodies like this.
14	* EndlessGame: There is no ending in which the Red Nasties are finally defeated.
15	* GoodColorsEvilColors: The good Quadraticans are green while the evil Red Nasties are, well, red. Their respective spacecrafts are colored to match. So basically, green is good and red is bad.
16	* LittleGreenMen: The Quadraticans are green-skinned humanoid creatures.
17	* NamedAfterTheirPlanet: The Quadraticans live on the planet Quadratica. Possibly inverted, since the wording in the opening implies that it was actually the planet that was named after its inhabitants rather than vice versa.
18	* ParodyNames: The Red Nasties' "second-rate fast food chains" include "Wiener King," "Joke in the Box," and "Dull Taco."
19	* ShoutOut: The game starts off spoofing the ''Franchise/StarWars'' opening:
20	-->''Not so long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, in a solar system that was... well... not so spectacular (it only had one planet), there lived an alien race known as the Quadraticans.''
