Reviews for Bomber Boris (#26620)

Review by YOR on 06 Jun 2022 (Rating: 3)

Can you see why I hand-picked this one? Hmmmmm. As Boris you has to go around a grid and defuse bombs, bombs that are counting down that is, otherwise if you move towards a bomb that's stationary you will die, and if that numbered counter reaches zero you will die, so more precisely you're racing towards a number but let's not get into that. It sound simple until you realise you can only move along a path once and you cannot go through gaps, meaning if you're not careful you can actually trap a bomb and become unable to access it leading to inevitable resignation, er I mean death. I don't know what I was expecting but I tell you what, it's pretty good in fact. It is probably a bit slow for my liking, well it's in BASIC so what did we expect, and it can get very annoying very quickly, but it's playable and it's quite fun. It doesn't quite make it to 4 but it is a very high 3 nevertheless. And I am quite disappointed to learn it was author K.P. Holloway's only credited game.
