history

Project history and usage

Mr.Boom is an eight-player Bomberman-style game whose package-manager form comes from the RetroArch/Libretro and SDL port. The old project site presents the DOS/Windows-era game as an IPX-compatible Bomberman clone supporting up to eight simultaneous players, while the modern GitHub repository describes the libretro/SDL version as converted from DOS assembly using asm2c.

Project history

The libretro port moved Mr.Boom into the RetroArch core ecosystem and made it portable across many targets. The repository lists Android, Linux, macOS, Nintendo GameCube, Switch, Wii, Raspberry Pi, PlayStation 2/3/Portable, Windows, Xbox, and Xbox 360 among supported RetroArch platforms, with standalone SDL1.2 and SDL2 builds also available. Gameplay features called out by the sources include netplay, AI bots, pushing bombs, remote controls, kangaroo riding, monsters, team modes, and up to eight players.

How it is used

Its adoption context is retro-gaming packaging rather than application infrastructure. Libretro's documentation treats Mr.Boom as a game/scripting-engine core: it can be loaded directly without content files, supports save states, rewind, netplay, controllers, and RetroPad input mappings. Homebrew and Linux distribution packages expose the standalone mrboom executable for users who want the game outside RetroArch, while the upstream repository remains centered on the libretro core and SDL builds.
