Retro Feature: Bomberkids 1.0
Posted by Ryan on 14 February 2012, 16:09 GMT
As news editor, I would be remiss if I did not right the wrongs of history. All of the wrongs. Naturally,
an important question to ask is "Where does one start?" Thankfully, the origin of our journey is rather easy
to triangulate. What with it being Valentine's Day and all, I will start with one of my greatest loves.
Speaking of love, everyone loves Bomberman games. This has been repeatedly established as an inherent truth, one that
maintains order throughout the universe. That being the case, one can imagine the degree of beguilement
attributed to the absence of official recognition of Bomberkids 1.0 by Julien Solignac.
Bomberkids is essentially a multiplayer-only game, allowing for two players locally and up to four players
with a link and two calcs. Featuring power-ups, competitive play, and linkplay of a quality that was
far ahead of its time, I could rant about this title for paragraphs. Rather than gush, I think it is
far more appropriate to let the words of the community do the software justice:
- "Download this awesome game today before you waste your lifetime without the best multiplayer game
ever written." - Joseph Roth
- "Bomberkids is amazing!" - moses moses
- "...this is without any doubt the best multiplayer game for the TI-83+." - N G
- "The truly most greatest mutliplayer game out there! 10/10" -- nick bugaev
- "Bomberkids is an awesome game that deserves to be counted among the best assembly games out there..." -
Hans Jorgensen
In the years past, there have been many absolutely outstanding Bomberman games that have been featured; Bomberkids may now be counted among them. So get together some friends, link up those calcs, and get blastin'!
As always, remember that you can make suggestions for program features (new and old alike) by sending an e-mail to contact@ticalc.org!

I haven't played this, but I have played a 68k version(bomberdude) and I must say those games with an extra long, homemade linking cable can be fun. ;)
Congrats on the feature, Julien. :)

I've always loved this game, and when I play linkplay with my friends, this game is always first choice. It's also nice to support 2 players on the same calc, so 4 people can jump in and join the fun.
I'm glad that you guys have been doing retro features like this, and hope that you can do even more. However, if there gets to be a lot of features because of this, I think that retro features should be judged seperately for the 2012 POTY.
