BomberMan MultiPlayer v0.21 (for CrASH v1.1+ on TI82)

code by Eric Piel in 1998-2000
graphics by Alapanamo

This is not the final version (not at all)

How to play

Unfortunately for the moment you have to begin by searching for some friends (poor Robinson Crusoe) then you take a calculator (a TI82 for instance).
You put the game on the calculator (if you have not CrASH you must also put it before). Eventually you run CrASH and then BMMP.

The Scenario

This is a democratic and interactive scenario: you can choose it.
Game in the game: Make your own scenario and send it me. The best ones will be added to the next version.

South Park

The Telletubbies

The 3 musketeers

South Park

In order: Kartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan

After a long walk in the forest (about 10 minutes) the gang comes upon an old mine. There is a bat but they enter into the mine" 'coz they aren't chickens". It is very dark and it is a real maze then Kartman gets lost. The three other guys goes and find a big treasure of gold. Unfortunately when they try to take it a drag on appears then, afraid, they run away.
At the exit Kartman was waiting for them with a bomb that he had found because he thought they were traitors. They avoid the bomb and think it's a great game then they start to try to kill all the other members of the gang (not only Kenny) with bombs...

The Teletubbies

In order: Tinky-Winky, Po, Laa-Laa and Dipsy

The producer of the show decided to change the incoming of each teletubbies because he considers that each one has to earn its money in function of its presence. Knowing that each one has a different height and the higher it is the bigger presence then Tinky-Winky should have a bigger income than Dispy, who should have a bigger income than Laa-Laa...
Even if Tinky-Winky really enjoys this new and logical decision, Po is really upset. Then, for the first time of their history, a big fight break out, every man (teletubbies) for himself. Unfortunately some bombs had been brought just before to changed the forms of the plain. The game start when the teletubbies discover the pile of bombs.

When you look your calculator very (very) closely you can see these animations

The Three Musketeers

Probably not in order: Atos, Portos, Aramis and d'Artagnan

In this new mission directed by the Queen the musketeers have to deliver a innocent prisoner. To do that they have choosen to destroy a wall of the jail with bombs. At midnight they go to the prison but soldiers were informed of their action and were waiting for them. Not afraid, the four friends fight against the dozen of well trained soldiers. After one hour they are out of the wood and they must bow the evidence: one of them is a traitor. Exhausted by the fight each one suspected the others. Then a terrible fight starts between all the musketeers who will do anything to find out the traitor, even use their bombs...

The Rules

To win you have to be three times(it can be changed) the last guy on the board. The only way to kill the other bombermen is to explode them with a bomb. Each battle lasts 150 seconds (it can also be changed and a second may not be a second depending of your batteries).
To help you there are some bonus:

you can put one more bomb in the same time

the explosion of your bombs is bigger

you run
