- 19th March 2006: Andrew Gardner - After (finally) submitting my Psychic 5 blend chip changes, Reip pointed me to another game running on similar hardware to Argus, Valtric, and Butasan. It's called Bombs Away, and it looks to be a quaint 194x-style shooter. I've decoded most of the graphics, found a few bits of the palette, and have the text layer drawing quite nicely. No idea where the tilemaps are, nor the sprites - and the thing reboots after running for a few seconds, but there are still tons of other things to try so stuff may begin to look better.
- 7th April 2005: Guru - Bombs Away (Jaleco 1988) arrived, purchased from two private sellers by Randy.
- 22nd February 2005: Dumping Project - Randy finalized an agreement to purchase from a Swedish seller Jaleco's 'Bombs Away' (1987).
