Main story

N/A

A variety of the game Blitz, an earlier VIC-2 game which itself was an clone of Atari's arcade game Canyon Bomber. Gameplay has the player drop bombs over a city to clear an area that you can land. Originally released as 'Bomb Buenos Aires', the game's theme was developed early in Jeff Minter's career, "intended as a tongue in cheek" response to the then ongoing Falkland Island, where buildings with small Argentinian flag's and the "Rule Britannia" play if the plane landed successfully. Written complaints and negative press would lead to the game quickly reissued and amended into "Bomber" or "City Bomb" as it's know today. Bomber was one of the earliest games developed by Minter under Llamasoft.
