ABOUT THIS CACHE

Bomb Man

BOMB MAN
Ground Disruption Robot

Boom, baby! The robo-mohawked Bomb Man is all about delivering a fast and powerfully explosive show of force! Developed by Doctor Light for demolition and land development, Bomb Man originally liked nothing more than using his Hyper Bomb to blast away debris and abandoned buildings so that land could be cleared for construction projects. Brash and confident, Bomb Man nevertheless understood well the danger inherent in his profession, and made sure to practice his skills constantly through both field practice and computer simulation - not only in timing and setting off bombs, mines, and other explosives, but also in detecting, sweeping for, and defusing them as well. But since Dr. Wily's reprogramming, that nobler side has entirely vanished - now Bomb Man is all about wanton destruction! If Mega Man hopes to succeed, he'll have to find and avoid the high-caliber traps Bomb Man undoubtedly has primed and ready!

Assume North 40 and West 74. You're looking for exactly ten bombs. Er, digits.
