📜 THE HISTORY OF DINKY BOMB
Dinky Bomb was an online multiplayer Flash game, built for the
converged service Gamer.tv many years ago. It was inspired by Team 17's classic Amiga game Worms and was one of the first
real-time multiuser experiences on the web in Flash technology (originally Flash 5, connecting to a Java socket server backend with Flash's then new XMLSocket capability). It grew
to become one of the most popular web games, with multiple Dinky Bomb game servers running at capacity and tens of thousands of Google results!
Dinky Bomb also featured on TV.
Since then, Dinky Bomb had been redeveloped into Dinky Bomb Deluxe, using a different lobby system and a Java-based physics engine. This was shortly before Gamer.tv closed its web arm to concentrate on TV, selling off much of its content to a third party. Dinky Bomb had since been acquired by Atari and then possibly sold off yet again to someone else (alas not me). Little known facts:
