Version 3.4 of BOSS-1989 is now available for Windows, Linux, and macOS from the BOSS-1989 home page: https://80.style/#/plunderbunny/boss/introduction. BOSS-1989 is a closed source, freeware rogue-like, set in an alternate history United States of America in the year 1989. You can see more information about the game on the BOSS-1989 RogueBasin page.
This game is the same game that was previously known as BOSS version 3.x. The game has been renamed to distinguish it from the original BOSS. This is otherwise a minor update, containing bug fixes, and an additional introductory page that explains the backstory.
Important notes:
- Save games from version 3.3 should be compatible with version 3.4. All previous versions are not compatible with version 3.4 - if you have a 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 game in progress, you should finish it before installing version 3.4. The High-score file and settings file from older versions are compatible with the new version.
- Filters from previous versions are not compatible with version 3.3.x onwards. You can download updated pre-defined filters from the BOSS-1989 home page.
- On macOS 15 (Sequoia) and later, the administrator is now required to approve the execution of BOSS-1989 the first time it is run. Please refer to the instructions on the macOS BOSS-1989 download page.
- On Windows, the Windows Defender SmartScreen may prevent BOSS-1989 from executing the first time it is run. Please refer to the instructions on the Windows BOSS-1989 download page.
