Bomber error

Post by StanVanman »

Two different games are actually listed as the same game in the database.

The "Astrocade" compilation here:

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1 ... /Astrocade

And the "Invadas + Bomber" compilation here:

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2 ... das_Bomber

both contain games called Bomber, pretty clearly by the same author, but they are NOT the same game.

This is the Astrocade Bomber (which is called both Bomber and City Bomber ingame):

This is the Invadas Bomber (which is only called City Bomber ingame):

They do look uncannily similar : the layout and font and explosions all look the same.

Same author, presumably?

:D

But yes, same layout and explosions and basic gameplay, totally different font.
