About The Bombing Islands
Clown World is in trouble. Mysterious blue bombs have appeared all over the planet, and King Clown needs help. In a royal decree, the king beckons for Kid Clown, a hero of past Kemco games, to clean up these bombs in all six continents. The strange, yet brave little clown sets out to blast the bombs away before the planet explodes. Clearing these bombs will not always be easy, as they have been arranged in puzzles across 60 different levels. Kid Clown must act wisely, because each level has only one igniter bomb that can detonate the bombs surrounding it. To successfully complete a level in one try, Kid Clown must arrange the bombs so that a chain reaction takes place. He also has to get a safe distance away from the reaction or he will explode.

A cute puzzle game about a demolition expert, and one of the pricier carts in the library, especially complete.
This is the Nintendo 64 version of The Bombing Islands, a Kemco puzzle game first released on the PlayStation. On N64 it is called Charlie Blast's Territory (working title Charlie Blast's Challenge). Realtime Associates developed it and Kemco published it, in North America in April 1999 and in PAL regions in June 1999.
The N64 hero is Charlie Blast, a demolition expert, where the PlayStation game stars Kid Clown. The two also differ in how movement works: the N64 version drops the step-counting requirement, and Charlie can jump freely, while Kid Clown can jump only after stepping on spikes.
Before you buy
Fake risk is low. Pick between the US cartridge and the PAL release; PAL copies cost less, loose and complete. A complete copy costs several times the loose price, so a box is a large part of the bill.
