One of the less exciting shareware games from Webfoot, Dynamite is a decent, if uninspired, clone of Bomberman.
Up to 4 players battle each other to the death by strategically laying and detonating bombs and destroying walls. The game is played from a top-down perspective, and the graphics is good looking in SVGA, although most of them are bland. Similar to Bomberman and its numerous clones, exploding walls in Dynamite turn into random "extras" you can pick up, such as shields, explosion strength, or mines. What makes the game more challenging is that you can fight against computer-controlled enemies with better-than-average intelligence. You must also contend with terrain features that make your job more difficult: you'll tend to slip on ice tiles, for example, and get "stuck" in mud. But these new features can't save Dynamite from being a bland-looking, average Bomberman clone that you will promptly forget after trying it out.

I almost mistaken this game for "DYNAMITE JOE" from 1996, there both very similar games on windows 95, both main character goes through a maze-like environment using dynamite as a weapon, both came out not to windows 95 not very far from each other. DYNAMITE is just another forgettable Bomberman clone. Dynamite Joe on the other hand is a much better game and have more nostalgia attachment to it, more similar to "boulder dash" then bomberman. for some reason is not on this site despite being an abandonware.
Have looking for it for a years!!! THX
I could run this rip with DxWnd, but the window shows upside-down! Did anyone have the same weird problem ?!?
