Young game Kaboom! With deafening blasts (if the volume is turned up loud enough) the mad bomber tosses ignited bombs off the wall as you try to catch them with buckets of water Kaboom! by Activision is a simple game that children and adults can have fun with But really a game and will have its biggest appeal with younger children who are easily frustrated with the space games that are saturating the market Played on the Atari home computer system Kaboom! has the crisp colors and character definition found with most Activision games Directions really necessary although the instructions are easy to read With a frown on his face the bomber tosses lighted bombs off the brick wall in ever-increasing numbers First 10 bombs come flying at you at a slow speed which you catch in buckets of water The second group of bombs comes at you twice as fast and the longer you successfully catch bombs in your bucket the faster they come If a player misses the bomb explodes in a flash of white heat And that brings a grin of pleasure to the mad little face another one of the superior graphics touches of this game How difficult is this game? Our test group showed that with consistent play for an evening youngsters and adults could hit the 1000 mark Younger kids liked the challenge of the game and returned to the game over Space Invaders Breakout Asteroids and Laser Blast Adults could stick with the game for about 2 hours generally until they hit 1000 points Kaboom! is a good investment for young kids particularly those between ages 4 and 8 When it comes to adults the game can get boring quickly Think twice about this game unless you have younger kids or money to burn Price: $2295 Rating: Rating: C- Bill Monroe father of bluegrass music will play at Fresno's Star Palace Tuesday Local chorus places high Twenty chorus groups from California Arizona Nevada and Hawaii competed in the finals held in Pasadena The Fresno group numbers 78 voices The Fresno Gold Note Chorus placed fourth in the Far West District Chorus Competition of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America Upcoming concerts Friday Oct 28 Johnny Rivers Tagus Ranch Tulare Tuesday Nov 2 Bill Monroe Star Palace Thursday Nov 4 David Frizell and Shelly West Hacienda Inn Friday Nov 5 Greg Kihn Band Theater Sunday Nov 7 Rose Maddox Kenny Hall Oakhurst Community Center Tuesday Nov 9 Mickey Gilley Tagus Ranch Tulare Thursday Nov 1 8 Judas Priest Selland Arena Thursday Dec 9 Michael Murphy Hacienda Inn I I IVra Barbecued Chicken Dinners at a price PH (209) 1-683-2250 HIGHWAY 4 1 -COARSEGOLD 1 120 Palm chtakemleed Deaf theater will open season soon Sunrise Kitchen CHINESE FOOD TO GO OR TO EAT HERE!
