Gameplay has the player drop bombs over a city to clear an area that you can land.

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. Read more
