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 a bug that caused alerts to remain inactive when resuming the application from background, making a forced quit necessary (Mac OS X 10.3 only).
  • The game now integrates the Kagi Registration Module (KRM). The KRM allows users to securely purchase the game directly from inside the application. When an order is successfully placed via the KRM, the game gets unlocked instantly! This option is available on Mac OS X 10.2 or later only.
  • Changed the meaning of the terms "register" and "registration" used in the application interface. Registering now only refers to the operation of unlocking the game with a registration code. All occurrences of "Register Online..." and "Register Germs..." in dialog texts, buttons and menu items have been replaced with "Buy Germs...". "Enter Code..." has been replaced with "Register...".
  • Modified text in the Shareware Reminder dialog and in some alerts to reflect the new purchasing and registering options.
  • Added an alert that pops up when entering invalid registration info in the Registration dialog. This one and the "Thanks" alert behave like sheets when the Registration dialog is open (Mac OS X only).
  • Added help buttons to the Shareware Reminder and Registration dialogs.
  • Completely redesigned the Help Book to make it fully compatible with all Help Viewer versions.
  • Updated Help and FAQ with all the details on the new purchasing and registering options.
  • Other minor refinements.

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
