Blast those nasty aliens in this award winning arcade game
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

Questions to the Developer:
1) Will it work on an Intel Mac and do we have to “Open using Rosetta”?
2) Will it work with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard?

EnlightenedOne – I actually emailed the dev in July about running on intel. He responded back that at this time he wasn’t going to do a UB version. Also that he had tested it on the intel platform and it ran great. I’ll get a chance to try it on Leopard tonight and I’ll try to remember to post more…
