This is a game about a kid named Jason. Jason had a pet frog named Fred. One day, Fred decided he had enough of being locked up in a fish bowl and made a dash for the door. As fate would have it, Jason was there when all this happened and he gave chase. Once outside, Jason was totally amazed to find Fred running toward a huge radioactive chest. As soon as Fred touched it, he grew to an enormous size, and the radioactive chest fell into the hole along with him...
When Fred landed, he found himself alone next to a hugh armoured vechile. This was not just any vechile, but one designed for the ultimate challenge against the radioactive mutants living under the Earth's crust. These mutants, created from escaped radioactive waste, are controlled by the Plutonium Boss.
Your mission is to fight your way and destroy the Plutonium Boss before he destroys you. Along the way to your final encounter are many warlords of the underground you must destroy.
Okay, thats what the manual sez. What I sez is Blaster Master is a very fun game. Fred (the main character) has the ability to get into and out of the tank type vechile and at times you must exit your protective vechile in-order to perform a task to move on. Great interaction, graphics and just plain 'ol stinkin' fun make Blaster Master a keeper.
I think I grabbed this game at Funco for 4 or 5 bucks.
