Bomb Squad
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

The prelude: In another dimension, in another time two battlesome twin brothers named "Bang" and "Boom are sent for punishment to the "Bomb Squad Pit" to finally settle their quarrel there. The fight is conducted by the mean of bombs that are laid, goes for 3 rounds (with a time limit of 3 minutes) and the loser will be banned... 

So the job is clear: The opponent needs to be blown up three times (or get touched by the other ghosts). During this time you need to beware of sneaking enemies and be careful not to fall apart yourself by your own bombs. During the fight in the channels you can find some extras lying around every now and then. If you pick up these bonuses, you will get more speed, bombs or farther reach of the bombs.

A simple Bomberman clone, unfortunately only for two players at the same time. It is shown by a 2D-labyrinth that fits onto one screen. Player and ghosts are sprites and move rather fast. You can choose between background music or FX (in the original version this is faulty, was fixed in the version by Amnesia) during the game. 

Controls: 

Joystick port#1 controls "Bang" (lower right corner) 
Joystick port#2 controls "Boom" (upper right corner) 
By pressing the fire button a bomb is laid down which a short time later will explode. 

Extras:

Magic potion - Pawn moves faster 
Cannon - Bomb power increases by each one reach 
Flashing bomb - Number of bombs to be laid increases by each one bomb 

Tips: 

Absolutely avoid the corners of the labyrinth, as here the danger of bombing yourself up is the greatest... 

Try to enlarge your free moving space as quick as possible by blowing up the walls, as enemy 2 is certain death... 

If you have collected several bombs, the strategy to lay down a wall of bombs in the middle of the game area could by very promising... 

Bug! 

If "FX" is set in the title screen (with key F7), the game will crash after the build-up of the labyrinth. This applies to the original and crack versions except the version by "Amnesia" (to be found on C64Games.de).
