Boom is a first-person shooter published by Hungarian company 576 Kbyte. The game was only released in Hungarian. This video shows an English fan-translation.
While the game is quite obviously inspired by Doom, it does not try
to realize the free movement of it on the C64. Instead, maps are made of
squares and you move field-wise with 90-degree turns, just like in
dungeon-crawlers such as Dungeon Master of Eye of the Beholder. However,
you don't simply shoot in the direction you're facing. Instead, you
move a crosshair over the screen for aiming.
The goal in each level
is to reach the exit. You need to find keys in order to open locked
doors. There are three weapons: a revolver, a shotgun and a machine gun.
You start off with the revolver, but no ammo. The other two weapons
need to be found. Ammo can be found in each level and is also sometimes
dropped by killed enemies. There are also medpaks to regain health. A
small map of your immediate surroundings is always displayed on the
screen. You can save and load any time in the game.
