Bombs Away!

A mad arsonist walks along the top of a brick city wall at dusk, dropping round bombs and sticks of dynamite with sputtering fuses. Move your stack of three wicker baskets left and right along the street below and catch every one. A bomb that reaches the street blows up and takes away your bottom basket; lose the third and the game is over. Every 100 bombs caught the level goes up: the bombs fall faster, the firebug walks faster and each catch is worth 10 more points. Round bombs and dynamite take turns every four levels, and the high score is kept.

Controls: Controller 1 or 2. The stick moves the baskets left and right. On the title, up and down choose and a button selects.
