Story:

You are Tom Bombem, a shy inhabitant of Moon Base Alpha. One day you are summoned to your boss's office, and told disturbing news. Inanimate Objects are infiltrating the solar system! Because of your accidental fumbling, it is now up to you to figure out where they come from, and save the Earth!

Old Teaser:

BLOW UP INCOMING INANIMATE OBJECTS!
UNCOVER AN INTERGALACTIC CONSPIRACY!
SAVE THE EARTH FROM DOOM!
AND MOST OF ALL, DON'T SCRATCH YOUR HEAD!

You are Tom Bombem, Earth's last hope. You don't say much, but you are inadvertently thrust into the spotlight when you accidently volunteer to save the Earth from mysterious invaders. Who are they and why are they flining trash in our direction? Play TOM BOMBEM and find out.

Update from the distant future of 2025:

You can view the source code here: on github
You can also view this on the internet archive. I need to fix it so you can play in the browser emulator. tb1_dos on internet archive
I should fix this particular web-page to at least have lowercase letters in the HTML tags.
