Bombs - Game Overview

---

Bombs was written in 1991 for Macintosh by Christer Ericson.

The game uses a countdown clock instead of a timer. You choose a game from 10x10 to 26x15 and select a difficulty level (Easy, Moderate, Difficult, Impossible). Instead of a timer there is a countdown clock and you are given more time if you select more mines and bigger grids. Your score is the number of seconds remaining multiplied by 1 for Easy, 2 for Moderate, 10 for Difficult and 25 for Impossible. The highscore list saves your best 10 scores ranked by points.

The options menu lets you select how to flag and chord. For example, you can choose [SHIFT] left click to flag and [COMMAND] left click to chord. Incorrect mines are marked with an X. There are no questionmarks. An interesting option is to add "debris" to the field. It is also possible to have multiple copies of the game open and take turns playing each game.
