About this game

Bomb Squad is a puzzle-strategy game for Intellivision, developed and published by Mattel Electronics. Players have less than half an hour to disarm a ticking bomb by patching circuits with hand tools and solving the wiring by guesswork.

The game features three skill levels, points for correctly rewiring circuits, and a 2,000-point bonus for disarming the bomb. Voice prompts provide instructions throughout the game, while terrorist taunts and computer-generated difficulties add pressure as time runs out.
