Although a port of an arcade game, Blasto for TI-99/4A has some singular differences that set it apart from the original [https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=7147 Sega/Gremlin Blasto]. The original Blasto while was in black and white (more a product of the era due to technological limitations), versus in full color for the TI version. The original featured a spaceship while the TI port portrays tanks blasting away at mines. Besides those two changes, the Texas Instruments port and the original are for all intents and purposes, identical. ===One Player Mode===In one player mode, the player attempts to clear the entire field (playing area) of large blue mines. The field is also littered with small green mines. The small green mines don't have enough power to affect the tank, however; getting too close to a large blue mine when it explodes will send the player's tank into a spin-out returning it back to its starting point. The goal is to completely clear the field of all large blue mines in the allotted time. ====options====There are three options to choose from in one player mode: * '''Speed:''' Determines the length the game lasts and has three options: * ''Sluggish:'' 90 seconds *
