After the success of the original Construction Bob in the Bouncing Factory, a sequel was in order. In this game, Construction Bob goes away from the Bouncing Factory and into the pits of hell. This game was alot of fun to design, and alot of fun to play. For the first time I managed to add pre-rendered cut-scenes to the game in the form of a .FLI. It was also my first game to use the second generation sound engine that allowed multiple wav files to play simultaneously. Unfortunately, a number of reliability issues popped up with this game, and although it played perfectly on the computers I tested it on, it was rather touchy on the conventional/expanded memory requirements as it was still a real-mode game. As a result it didn't have the same kind of success as the original. It featured the excellent music of Roman Zebik.
