Product Description:

BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh.

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 trooper your mission is to penetrate 8 alien infested areas, each one divided in 10 sub-zones, eliminate all enemies using your bombs and finally kick the Big Alien Boss back to where he came from.

BOOM's main features are:
  • Smooth sprite based animations in 256 colors
  • 8 soundtracks and multi-channel sound effects
  • Simultaneous two players action
  • 80 different levels
  • 10 different enemy characters varying in intelligence and weaponry
  • Mid-game monsters and a final Super Boss
  • Online high scores

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed an issue that caused the monitor color depth not being properly restored after changing the option for setting the display to thousands of colors while in full screen.
  • Fixed the URL for downloading the game when a new version is available.
  • Improved error handling while purchasing the game via the Kagi Registration Module.
  • The KRM has been reverted to version 1.0.6 due to unsolved problems with version 1.0.7.
  • Updated Help.

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,
