WELCOME TO BOOM!

Thank you for your interest in this game. I hope you'll enjoy it.

This read me file contains only a few basic pieces of information on
the game.
To access the full documentation, including instructions on how to play
the game and how to purchase it, launch the game application, wait for
it to load completely and select ÒBOOM HelpÓ from the Help menu.


WHATÕS BOOM?

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 ÒBomberman meets DoomÓ. Actually, I took the
basic Bomberman idea and dropped it in a ÒSuper-Deformed DoomÓ scenario
(whatever this means).
If you don't know what Bombermanª and Doomª are, definitely you've
never played a computer game. This is the right time to start.

¥ Smooth sprite based animations in 256 colors
