* BittersweetEnding: The Human race is all but extinct, but Paradise is real. If you survive for 20 waves, you make it there and are greeted by a galaxy's worth of women. And while the game only gives you a 1 million point bonus for doing so, [[AllThereInTheManual it is stated that civilization gets started again if you reach Paradise]].
* BrokenFaceplate: If your ship is shot when its shields are down, the canopy cracks.
* [[Every10000Points Every 100000Points]]Points]]: You get an extra space shuttle.

->''"The year is 2085. The Robotrons have destroyed the human race. You escape in a stolen space shuttle.\\

A remote outpost 20 million light years away. Does Paradise exist? Can civilization be started again? These questions will be answered at the end of your journey.\\

Developed once again by Creator/EugeneJarvis and Creator/LarryDeMar and published by ''Creator/WilliamsElectronics'', ''Blaster'' is an arcade game that acts as a sort of sequel to ''VideoGame/Robotron2084''.
Although the last human family was killed, and "the last hope of mankind" has been destroyed, it wasn't actually.
You, as the [[LastOfItsKind last remaining human]], hijack a space shuttle and take off to [[ThePromisedLand Paradise]], in hopes of escaping the Robotrons and restarting civilization once more.
Unlike ''Robotron 2084'', which was a twin stick 2D shooter, ''Blaster'' is a FirstPersonShooter where you fly a space ship with 4 front facing cannons, shooting any aliens or robots that get in your way, rescuing stranded astronauts, and picking up any PowerUps you can find to help you on your quest. And believe us when we say this, [[NintendoHard you'll need all the help you can get]].
The game was noteworthy for having advanced [[TechnologyMarchesOn (for the time)]] graphics that simulated the illusion of objects moving closer to the player by having sprites (rather than just vector graphics) that scaled as the player's ship moved forward. This created a very convincing 3D effect that stood out against the vector line based competition, and this technique would be adopted for many future games.

!!Blast these tropes!
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Because you can't see your own space ship, the game has a reticule which shows your range of shooting, as well as your hitbox.
