Having _finally_ bought a 'new' Arc, I've implemented 5 player mode.

5 players is great on the Amiga/ST Dynablaster, but would be a bit cramped on an Arc keyboard. Joystick support is therefore next!

Excellent stuff Tom, looks good. It'll be much more fun to play multiplayer at the next meet up :)

Not a serious suggestion, but how wild would it be to load ppl's forums avatars in place of the bombermen? I love the idea of Hen House Harry blowing up Davros ... :)

Looks great, Tom - but, then, it did at Fusion, as well!

I'm planning to allow custom player sprites, ala Dynamite on the Amiga. Maybe I could try and get a few 'forum specials' done...

Did anyone get a 3D avatar of themselves created at the BT booth at the Millenium Dome? That would be great to import (no idea where mine is!)

Cool, Tom. That would be great, if you plan to bring it along at the next meet-up!

Paras, never bothered with the millennium dome, but I work at the research park which supplied the technology. I was avatared into Half-Life as part of an introductory video to a schools lecture we put on, locally.

Still got bits of the outfit somewhere.

Sam.

Which versions of RISC OS will this run on? (2,3,4,5, or 6) ?
