What the hell is XBlast??

XBlast is a 4-player game which resembles "Bomberman" in some respects. You are this small chubby guy and you try to blow up walls and your opponents. For more info, read the README file.

XBlast in currently in version 2.0, though, we have not completely supported version 2.0 for our use (mainly because of the differences in speed from version 1.11).

Here at Northeastern University's College of Computer Science, a dedicated group of us play XBlast for the sole reason of becomming part of The XBlast Hall of Champions. Every season we gather together and compete for the elite title of being The XBlast Champion. Below, in alphabetical order, is a list of the dedicated XBlast players at NU CCS.

Games played this Spring!!


Below are a few sites where you can download the source code for XBlast, (there are many more than what is shown) just click on the link and it will download the file to your machine. I would suggest reading the README file, though, before proceeding. If you have any problems with this information, you can send me e-mail about it, but I am not an expert, for expert advise, I would suggest e-mailing the creator, his e-mail address is in the README file.

These sites have version 1.11 of XBlast, there will be a listing for version 2.0 sites when we completely support that version here.
