Mr. Boom is a multiplayer freeware game, made for MS-DOS,
but also works perfectly in Windows 95 or 98. This is a
clone of the famous game called Bomberman (a PC version
was named Dynablaster). It's an old styled arcade game
where you drop bombs to eliminate other players while
avoiding their bombs. It can be played with up to eight
players, using an IPX network, but you can also play the
game without a network.
