The Mad Bomber is loose in the city and he's dropping bombs everywhere! It's your job to catch them before they hit the ground and explode. Luckily, you have a set of trusty buckets to extinguish them with.
Mad Bomber is a clone of the excellent 1981 Atari 2600 video game "Kaboom!" by Larry Kaplan of Activision. (Kaboom! was originally going to be an Atari-produced 2600 port of their 1978 arcade game, "Avalanche.")
Features:
- Runs on a variety of platforms, including PDAs!
- Controlled with mouse or keyboard.
- One- and two-player modes, including two-player versus.
- On desktop systems, Mad Bomber can be run in a window or fullscreen, in 640x480 resolution.
- Mad Bomber optionally supports stereo sound, and includes music. Volume settings can be changed in the options screen.
- You can choose to play either with an attractive photo-realistic background, or with a plain (zen) Kaboom!-style background.
- A handicap can be set for either or both player, reducing the width of their bucket to half-size.
- High score and options are saved.
