- Bombman! - December 9, 1996 - Version 2.1 - By Israel Geron T.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- I start programing Bombman as soon as I found the GDK library in the MSDN CD-ROM.
- The idea of writting a game, something I didn't do for a long time ( Since my C64 childhood
- days ) made me happy. I had different thoughts about the game I want to ReMake and finally
- I chose this game because it is one of my favourits and it seems the most easy to make.
- I tried to stick to the original design, using an old photograph for the first version,
- and the the real thing for the second version ( it seems to be that picture was very
- different from the original ).
-
- When I played again in the original game I noticed many things that not implemented
- in the first version like pattern in the criminal movements ( one wave is wild and the
- next one is not ), his smile when you fail...
- and many other things so I tried to implement them too.
-
- The game has been developed with MSVC 4.2 with the GDK, My Shrink Icons Editor
- during strange hours, and I hope it has the original game 'feel' and spirit.
