When I was growing up there was a game I used to love playing with friends whereby your task was to drop bombs, and hopefully blow up other players in a maze like game screen. That game was none other than Bomberman also known as Dynablaster. A game which was actually first released way back in 1983 by Hudson Soft and then published by Konami. In fact the reason we are mentioning the game is at some point soon 'Axel Friedrich - Fancy Factory' will be launching a Kickstarter for Kaboomania. A Bomberman clone that is coming to the Amiga and modern systems
Here's the full details. "Kaboomnia is a retro maze bomber in the spirit of 16 bit classics. An old school game concept reimagined for the most modern computer in the world: Amiga 1200 (and better) 😉. It is a new take on a classic concept, but mostly with new and fresh ideas. Beside A 1200 - the game will be released for PC and mobile - and most probably for all consoles. Experience fast-paced 128 color AGA action and blast your way through five worlds and 1000 (!!) levels! 💣. As an absolute special feature, Kaboomnia comes with a brand new, never heard before soundtrack by music legend Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican, Giana Sisters, Apidya, Katakis, and many more)! After more than 30 years, Chris's music is finally back on the computer where it belongs - the Commodore Amiga. "
Features:
- ⦁ 320x200 128 color pixel art
- ⦁ brand new soundtrack by Chris Huelsbeck
- ⦁ classic chaotic gameplay
- ⦁ 5 beautiful crafted worlds
- ⦁ 1000 level
- ⦁ password system
- ⦁ huge maps
- ⦁ dozens of enemies
- ⦁ crazy collectibles
- ⦁ 2 player couch battle
Throw in network multiplayer and you got my vote. (2 player couch battle, yeah, ok)
ReplyDelete1000 levels?
ReplyDelete2 player only? Thats no fun. It should support at least 4 players simultaneously that's the essence of bomberman. Saturn bomberman is still epic today for supporting up to 10 players!
ReplyDeleteI think this game has potential, but supporting only 2 players makes it uninteresting to me.
Every Bomberman game I have has 4 player mode, the multiplayer aspect of the game is what makes it so great, 2 player mode won't cut it for me when there are already so many Bomberman games that do allow 4 players (and even 5 in C64 Bomberland)!
