Firework Particle

Is there a way to have the verticies of an object emit particles? ? ?

How do you make a GE particle firework so the emitter emits more than one particle and shoots out in more-or-less random directions, e.g. like a little explosion.

I thought you could use a random “something” so the emitter sends particles out in dirrerent directions? Or do I have to have just one emitter for every particle??? Gotz to be a better way out there…?

if you have multiple empties you should be able to link them to some sort of random ipo curves that… erm if you upload the.blend i’ll have a look
