Play Mega Blast Online

Mega Blast is a top-down action game released in 1995 for MS-DOS. It was developed by Crossroads and published by L.K. Avalon. The game takes place in maze-like environments where players navigate and confront opponents.

The player controls a character who must eliminate adversaries by strategically placing bombs. These explosives have a delayed detonation timer, requiring careful placement to avoid self-inflicted damage while trapping enemies within the blast radius. The maze walls and obstructions can typically be destroyed by explosions, which often reveals hidden bonuses. These items can grant advantages such as increased bomb firepower or a larger supply of bombs. Progression involves clearing each stage of enemies while navigating the destructible labyrinth.

Key gameplay systems include the use of flying bombs, which can be thrown in four directions. These projectiles bounce off walls, screen edges, and other bombs, detonating either upon contact with another explosion or after a set time. The game also features a variety of bonus items with unpredictable effects. Some provide beneficial abilities, like walking through walls or moving faster, while others introduce complications such as accidentally dropping bombs or having the controls temporarily reversed. This mechanic adds an element of chance to the strategic planning required for survival.
