Developer: Bomb

Bomb was a small label that sold Atari 2600 cartridges in 1983, in North America, the UK and Germany. The games were made by Onbase Co., a developer based in Asia, and the same titles were often sold again by other companies under different names. Original Bomb cartridges are very rare today.
The site has five Bomb games, all shooters. In Assault you face a mother ship and can fire sideways as well as upwards. Z-Tack turns the defence game around: you attack bases hidden in a city. Wall-Defender has you guarding rings of fortress wall and running to the next ring before the outer one falls. Great Escape lets space scroll around your ship in four directions; it is here in its NTSC version and as the European PAL cartridge.
