Episode 41 - Nintendo Game & Watch Bomb Sweeper BD-62 - 1987

Bomb Sweeper is a multi-screen Game & Watch launched in June 1987. The game is unusual insomuch that it is based on a puzzle rather than a traditional game. The story starts with Dynamite Jack running around town placing bombs in the sewer system and we have an unnamed police officer and our hero John Solver who disarms the bombs after working out the maze. The maze is movable to a degree, because you can push walls, however you cannot push walls against another wall, and you cannot pull walls - all of this is against a timer and you only have three lives. I find this to be an exciting game and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it before.
