BomberCop


This is what my computer, BomberCop, currently consists of. The name BomberCop derives from the game Bomberman, which has many incarnations. In our particular case, it was Bomberman '94, a Japanese import for the Turbo Duo. Suffice it to say that I was always the Red BomberCop, the long arm of the law, dealing justice to other Bombermen in the form of cataclysmic explosions! All is right with the world.
