HARDWARE NOTES

The game supports the Commodore 128 in 64 mode, but uses the c128`s
extended hardware registers for acceleration. The game runs on NTSC
hardware, but does however play fractionally faster; so is labelled as NTSC compatible, After loading, the machine type is displayed in the lower left corner of the main menu.

Stupid comment that sounded funny when I first though of it!

Bomberland not only can you get your fingers burnt, but you could get them
blow off as well!

HISTORY

You could say; the game has taken Over 10 years in development on and off
its more that the game has evolved, the game has existed in various guises.
So from its first conection to the final release, that game was Created
between the years of 2005-2013. Its roots however go back to 1995, when sceners Raspi, Gutted, Lobo and Skull (Michal) worked on a prototype named Boombastic Benny, however; this version of the game was never completed.

If we now roll forward to 2007; and a rebuilt version of the game called Bomberman C64 emerges. expanded and developed in an on and off way; until
it became Bomberland. Conrad (Owen) was asked to write the music for the
final game; and began work on this in early 2008, basing his sonics of the
game on the 1991 Dynablaster game for the Amiga and PC ;with tracks by Eike Steffen (Romeo Knight). The music was finally completed in 2010, However! There were issues embedding the music files in the game, so Conrad wrote a customised music routine; and converted the original music data into a
format readable by the routine. This saved a lot of graphical resources in
the final 64k cartridge and also enabled his music work to be replayed in
full with the limted cartridge resources available.

Now finally RGCD have released the game on cartridge, The game can be used
with either the Protovision or Hitman adapters for up to 5 players action.
The single player version supports a massive 36 screens of bombing action.
With an end of level bosses and a number of different enemies. Dont forget
to add the a mind blowing sid soundtrack as well as passwords; to work your
way through more challenging levels, and the easy ones to if you find the
game to challenging.

LOADING BOMBERLAND

To load the Bomberland on cartridge, is a simple matter of; turning off
your C64/128, then insert the cartridge and then; turning the computer back
on. The game will load automatically, but does take a few seconds to
decrunch.

THE GAME

For those of you unaware of the game; the basic idea is this;

You guide your lets say "hero", (he doesn't seem to have a name) through bomberland. In this wondrous land; you will have to fight against enemies
that loyally protect your main objective; the Lord Bomber. You have a
special skill; you have the powers to plant bombs to kill the enemies,
these bombs will explode in 4 directions and; the bombs can also destroy
some walls or bricks, hidden behind some of these walls; or bricks; are bonuses. Once all the bad guys are killed on the level; you will need to
find the exit that will be hidden in one of the bricks, don't however blow
up the exit portal as bad things will happen, oh and don't try to explode bonus`s as you will loose the bonus; and gain more attackers.

Not all the bonus`s are helpful; the skull bonus for example could hold a
nasty surprise. In the last level; Lord Bomber will await you in his
chamber. A password is provided in the game after 3 stages, the password
not only holds the level you finished on, but also the powers and bonus`s
you had as well as your score.

Each world is divided into six stages; with different themes: Brick
Factory, The Swamps, The Rockies, Snowy Foothills, Laboratory and the
dreaded Castle of Lord B. Each stage finishes with a boss to defeat.. The game is controlled by the joystick (in either port), but can also be played from the keyboard on your C64.

As Bomberland supports up to 5 players, in addition to the joysticks
connected to ports 1 and 2, another two joysticks can be plugged via
hardware connected to the User Port on your C64. The joystick algorithm is based on the use of a CGA (Protovision) adaptor, or can be switched to a
HIT adaptor (by Excess and Hitmen). By default, the CGA adaptor driver
will be used.

The game has many different types of monster, each with its own unique behaviour. Some are slow and quiet, others are aggressive and fast, some
can even fly over walls. Remember though; you are up against the clock to finish the level; so don't hang around, once the timer reaches zero; Time guards are released they home in on you from all sides of the screen.
However on the final levels when the timer runs out; the TIME GUARDS will
not appear you will instead die instantly.
