You were in a space station circling the planet Neptune. That was, until some nasty aliens planted a huge time bomb somewhere on the station. As a result, everybody has been evacuated and the sole occupant of the station is the bomb disposal robot nicknamed Arnold. Apart from a fair sprinkling of aliens, that is.

Bombscare is a 3D arcade adventure complete with Ultimate style graphics. You must explore the complex, picking up tools to help defuse the bomb and other useful items. A maximum of five objects can be carried at any given time and, as is usual with this sort of game, it is a question of finding out exactly what item does what and then doing everything in the correct order. Control of the robot is a simple turn left or right and advance. You can also fire at the aliens that materialise in each room although strangely, you are only equipped with a low-tech gun firing slow speed bullets. There is also a teleport system to be discovered for easy access around the ship but you do not have the operating instructions.

There is not much to say about a game like this. There have been many similar variants before. If you enjoy the type, though, it is not bad value at £1.99.
