Nobelia for CD-i

Zelda meets Bomberman in this homebrew game for the Philips CD-i

Nobelia is an explosive open world action/adventure game which can be described as a crossover between The Legend of Zelda and Bomberman.

With over 30 unique levels, four power-ups, and four different enemies it is the biggest and most ambitious homebrew game released yet for the CD-i. 

Includes an in-game timer with highscores to allow for competition and speedrunning in three different categories.
