A madman equipped with a huge supply of explosives is perched atop a local high-rise, and he's bombing the street below. With only a bucket of water to catch and diffuse the bombs, you are the only one who can save the block from sure destruction.
To play Bombard, have your joystick plugged into port two. Press the firebutton to begin. Position the bucket under each bomb and catch it before it hits the ground. With every level the bomber becomes more proficient; he lights and drops more bombs each level, and he drops them faster. Every bomb you catch earns five times the current level.
When a bomb hits the ground all the other bombs on-screen explode, which, of course, leaves the bomber giggling in delight. Although you begin the game with three turns, you earn an extra turn every 2000 points. The game ends when you have no turns remaining.
To freeze the game, press the shift-lock key; press it again to resume. To exit the game and return to Basic, press run/stop.
