Hear ye! Hear ye! As an early Christmas gift, Shane R. Monroe of Dark Unicorn Productions (http://www.darkunicornproductions.com) has released yet another great game. How do I know? I've been a beta tester for the past month and I love it! If you played his game Kablooey (a remake of Activision's Kaboom!), you will absolutely love his latest, entitled Kablooey Redux. Here is an excerpt from the Kablooey Redux site...

Sure, you've played 'catch the bomb' games before. Maybe you were totally glued to your paddle controller on your Atari 2600 playing the legendary Kaboom! Perhaps you played Kablooey's little brother last year. It doesn't really matter - Redux will redefine the genre and hook you all over again ...

It might look old school, but when you play the intense new game modes, catch powerful dropping weapon powerups, and awe at the killer new graphics and sounds - you'll know its not your mama's Kaboom! You can even submit your high scores directly to this website - show the world you kick major butt.

Get your bombsquad buckets ready, rub down your mouse hand, and get ready to make your mark as the Top Cop!

In addition to great gameplay, a "hyped" soundtrack, excellent graphics, and screenshot capability, this game features a scoreboard for each mode (Classic & Modern) that we will accept at TG due to the fact Shane is also a TG Editor (Commodore).

Here are the system requirements according to the website:

Please make sure your computer is up to snuff to handle all the new features of Kablooey Redux.

Pentium II/Celeron @ 300mhz (or better) 32MB of RAM 8MB Video Card (DirectX 7 compliant) Sound Card (DirectX 7 compliant) Mouse or pointing device DirectX 7 (or higher)

If nothing else, please try the shareware version Shane has made available. And of course, if you like it, please support him by purchasing the full version.
