BOOM - 1.2.3

Bomb your way out of a maze.

BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing theplayability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on theMacintosh. It can be described as "Bomberman meets Doom".Actually, I took the basic Bomberman idea and dropped it in a"Super-Deformed Doom" scenario (whatever this means).As a space marine your mission is to penetrate 8 alien infestedareas, each one divided in 10 sub-zones, eliminate all enemiesusing your bombs and finally kick the Big Alien Boss back towhere he came from.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a bug, introduced in version 1.2.2, that caused the game to crash during startup on all iMacs (in fact, it failed to set the monitor depth to 8-bit).
Fixed a bug, introduced in version 1.2.2, that caused the game to crash when opening some dialogs on systems with Appearance Manager older than 1.1 (for ex. Mac OS 8.1).
Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when opening the Info dialog a second time.
Fixed a small memory leak (about 1k) occurring when starting a new game or opening a saved game.
Now, when changing keyboard settings, the program checks if Caps Lock is on and asks the user to switch it off.

My son played this game for a number of years on an older Mac... that computer's now dead, and, while this is a great game, it's the only thing we used the Mac for, so I can't see buying a new computer for one game. Is there any possibility of this coming out in a version for Windows? I know he'd buy one, and I'm sure there are many others who would as well.

Is there any possible way I can get a Windows download of this game? Me and my brother used to play it for hours on his Mac, but we moved and now have all Windows computers. I have to admit, I miss the Mac. I was used to the layout and it was much easier to use for the photomanipulation work I do. I would really love to surprise my brother with the game for old times sake, it would mean a lot to both of us. It's funny, but that little game hold a lot of our past in its little squares and bombs. I miss it and I miss the time I spent with my brother.

:) I have my fingers crossed,
Serina
