Description

FPC Atomic is a complete reimplementation of the original Atomic Bomberman game (from 1995).

To play the game, you need to extract the original graphics from the game disc and provide them as requested by the game.

1. get the Atomic Bomberman CD-content (buy the game it is worth it!)
   1.1 if you want all animations download and merge the expansion pack from here or use this direct download link
   1.2 extract the content of ani.zip into the CD-Content "/DATA/ANI" subfolder
2. download and uncompress the .zip file of the subfolder bin on your harddisc
3. run the "cd_data_extractor" and follow the instructions
4. read the manual
   4.5 if you are a Linux user run the "Linux_sound_install_script.sh"
5. start the game by executing "fpc_atomic" binary and enjoy

Differences to the original

Here are the differences between FPC Atomic and the original Atomic Bomberman:

• Implementation in TCP (instead of slow IPX)
• Missing AI (and thus, single player mode)
• Not all sounds are used
• Missing online manual; use the manual provided in this repository instead.
• Pro gamers may discover additional differences due to our guessing of the original functionality.
