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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mrboom - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - mrboom - 5.5+ds-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: mrboom from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | 8 player Bomberman | http://mrboom.mumblecore.org/ - Ubuntu apt - mrboom - 5.4+ds-1build2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: mrboom from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | 8 player Bomberman | http://mrboom.mumblecore.org/ - zypper - mrboom - 5.5-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: mrboom from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | A Bomberman clone | https://github.com/Javanaise/mrboom-libretro ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Game and emulation packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/game-emulation-tools/) - Matched game or emulation metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [sdl2-compat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sdl2-compat/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [myman](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/myman/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, game, games. - [gnuski](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gnuski/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, game, games. - [mame](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mame/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, games. - [open-tyrian](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/open-tyrian/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, games. - [dopewars](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dopewars/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, multiplayer. - [moon-buggy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/moon-buggy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, game, games. - [netris](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/netris/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, multiplayer. - [ninvaders](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ninvaders/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: arcade, cli, game, games. - [widelands](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/widelands/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
