![]() With every moderately successful game franchise, there must be plenty of spin-offs. A few games even allow you to ride a kangaroo-like animal named Louie! Whether you're playing in a battle royal match or on teams, there are so many variations that you'll play for hours at a time before the fun starts to die down. Some stages feature conveyor belts, seesaws, warps, hidden passages, and hazards that may end your life before other combatants have the chance. That's not all since changing the arena also changes the gameplay dramatically. You can also choose special rules in some games such as having to paint the most tiles, keep a crown on for as long as possible, and of course capture the flag. Depending on the particular title, you can choose which power-ups will be in play, decide the winning conditions, and enable or disable computer players. As one of the most recent titles, Bomberman Live: Battlefest delivers some great multiplayer gameplayĪnother component that Bomberman implements wonderfully is the vast assortment of options available to customize each battle. Being able to throw bombs from the side of the arena at the player who just ended your life and then take their place if you're successful is an incredibly satisfying moment. Some won't be so lucky, but in later games they can seek sweet revenge! This gameplay mechanic serves as one of my personal favourite gaming memories. There's nothing more satisfying than collecting a huge arsenal of power-ups that make your bomb blasts fill the screen as all of your opponents scurry away to safety. Unforgettable moments such as when someone gets trapped before a bomb inevitably blows them to high heaven or when you simply don't see a bomb and run straight into its blast radius will keep you playing on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what comes next. ![]() As you and a few of your gaming chums run around the maze-like grids while planting bomb after bomb, you'll delight in every victory and feel encouraged to try again at each defeat.

It's too bad that Hudson Soft is now defunct, but hope is not entirely lost since Konami (who now owns Bomberman) released a new Bomberman for Android and iOS devices last year in Japan. This version included the most memorable aspect of the series multiplayer! As the years went on, Bomberman found his way onto almost every console with a staggering amount of sequels and spin-offs. One year later, Bomberman was released for TurboGrafx-16. In order to succeed and progress through the campaign's 50 levels, you'll need to learn how to trap enemies, time explosions, and survive in order to keep all of your handy power-ups. The fact that you can blow yourself up with your own bombs created an intriguing strategy dynamic. The gameplay was simple yet required a lot of skill. Anyway, it wasn't until 1989 that North American gamers would finally get to play it on the NES. Believe it or not, it was called Eric and the Floaters in the UK. The original was released in Japan and Europe for MSX back in 1983. □ The original NES version may only be for one player, but that doesn't mean that it isn't any fun!īefore we get into why Bomberman is so awesome, let's look at a bit of its history. │ Like you, Video Chums despises clickbait so you won't find any divisive content or articles that fuel the console wars here.
