Game description:

The mad bomber is on the loose! As he races back and forth at the top of the screen, you need to catch the bombs he drops in buckets of water. One point is earned for each bomb caught, but miss one of the bombs, and Kaboom! As the levels progress, the mad bomber will move faster and faster and drop more and more bombs. You start the game with three buckets, and lose one each time a bomb is missed. The game ends when all of your water buckets are gone


What I think:

Really fun game, but I think they could've done so much more with the Atari 8-bit version.

Now a note: If you play this on emulator, change to joystick mode. Believe me, you WANT to do that, as using the mouse as paddle is quite the pain (if you play in paddle mode). That being said.....it is still not easy to play on emulator. ;)
