Product Description

Arguably the most fun Atari 2600 game ever, Kaboom is also the one of the simplest. Using a paddle controller, you move a set of "buckets" from side to side, catching bombs being dropped by an escaped convict at the top of the screen. Each wave gradually becomes faster until you're dealing with an astonishly fast 13 bombs per second! At that point the game's practically mesmerizing. Kaboom's graphics look sharp, its gameplay is madly addicting, and there are some nice little graphical details as well. The mad bomber wears a black mask and changes expressions during the game. The lighted fuses on the bombs flicker, and bombs splash when they hit the buckets, which incidentally look nothing like buckets. There's even a little strategy involved. When you have all three buckets, it's a good idea to mess up intentionally just before obtaining your bonus bucket at 1000 points. This will slow down the bombs temporarily, and you'll get your third bucket right back! 1 or 2 players
