Bombaman

## Description

_Bombaman_ is an ambitious _Bomberman_ clone for the MSX computer with both a
story mode and a tournament multiplayer mode.

In the story mode, which takes place on the “Iko Iko Island”, you start out in
a village of Bombermen as an orphan. On the graveyard, near your mother’s
grave, you hear a mysterious voice urging you to enter the flooded Greek
temple. Naturally, these turn out to be typical _Bomberman_ arenas, filled
with destructible square terrain, wandering monsters of different kinds, and
power-ups as well as power-downs. In order to progress in your quest, you must
bomb your way through these arenas, picking up items that will open the door
to the next level. There are several worlds to progress through in this
adventure mode.

In the multiplayer mode, up to four players can play at once, on joysticks and
keyboard, in a tournament where the last one standing wins the match, and the
tournament is won by the one with most victories. If the match goes on for too
long, the walls of the arena start to close in, forcing the contestants closer
together or swallowing them.

The game features many bells and whistles, such as a jukebox in the disco in
the village, a map editor and support for modern hardware such as the
Moonsound sound module, hard disk support and sampled sound effects.
