# Atomic Bomberman

Atomic Bomberman is a PC game developed by Interplay and released in 1997. It can be played on Arch using Wine.

## Environment

Tested with Wine 1.3.7 successfully

For network play, you need to install IPX. It can be found in aur: ipxAUR

- After this, ipx can be added to your network card like this:

    # ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0x12345678

- Use `ip a` to check if network is working.

- you can remove ipx like this (IPX is also removed when the PC is rebooted):

    # ipx_interface del eth0 802.2
