Title: Bomberman!
Post by: MotoRoaderMike on October 31, 2007, 05:49:09 PM
I've been on a BIG Bomberman kick ALL DAY yesterday. He's a cute lil' guy, ain't he? XD Except in that atrocious Bomberman Act Zero of course. Anyway, I have a strong urge to get alot of Bomberman games. I wish I could find a copy of Bomberman '93 that was inexpensive!!! Grrrrrr...... I also wanna get a copy of the Saturn Bomberman game, but forget it! It's going for like 75 bucks! That's a big rip off! And I wanna get Bomberman Generation for the Gamecube and one of those GBA Bomberman Games. Been on a big Bomberman kick all day yesterday. Plus he's so friggin' cute!!! XD

You can buy Saturn Bomberman and a japanese Saturn system for under $75.

Yeah, I guess I will have to get a japanese copy of the game, because it looks like I don't have a choice. :( I don't need a japanese system BTW, I have an Action Replay cart. :)

They always do that man, take cute characters and cool characters and totally ruin them.

Bomberman is honestly one of my fave game characters ever, if not my favorite. The games are awesome and the music simply rules.

Thanks for the second pic, Moto, my Zune needs some wallpaper. :)

Agreed. Bomberman has gotten awfully skinny over the years and I think his eyes have grown even larger... perhaps he got into cocaine after the peak of his career?

You need to learn to buy imports. Bomberman '93 is nice, but '94 is better (IMO), and goes for $15 or less as a PC Engine release.

The same with Saturn Bomberman US. The JP version is probably $12 or so, and has much more ridiculous voices.

These are the two best Bomberman games, by the way.

Post by: Necromancer on November 01, 2007, 04:02:00 AM
I prefer '94, as it's a whole year better..... err, maybe it's the kangaroos.  If you really want a US '93, keep your eyes open and be patient.  As long as you don't sprout wood for complete versions, then you should be able to pick one up for $35 or so.

Post by: elnino on November 01, 2007, 04:17:55 AM
We already had this discussion in another thread and I have decided that Bomberman '93 is the best Bomberman game out there. Since people call me Big Mother Brain, it seems like the right choice.
Title: Re: Bomberman!
Post by: nat on November 01, 2007, 04:29:32 AM
For the Turbo, '94 is best, although '93 curiously has better music. But the level layout and gameplay in '93 doesn't even compare to '94.

I've had a lot of fun with the Dreamcast Bomberman, also.

No problem! Anything for a fellow forum member! :D

SignOfZeta:I don't have a converter to play japanese PC Engine titles on my Turbo, and they're a pain in the ass to find. Also, are you saying that the voice acting in the US version of Saturn Bomberman is better?

Post by: Tatsujin on November 01, 2007, 02:12:54 PM
regarding 1P bomberman,  the '94 is maybe the better one, since it offers more complex stages and secrets etc. but i never really went into the fun of playing BM alone.

for the multi-P BM, the '93 ist the ultimate one. here some reasons for:

1. same driving and best ever made BGM in any BMs, taken over from part 1.
2. very balanced with the items (not to much, not to less). the biggest improvement from the 1st BM was the bomb-kicker. this is the most tactical and important item, right after the flame-power.
3. not playing around with some unnecessary falderal nonsense > be simple but efficient is one of BMs most important attributes.
4. and last but not least, its much better and more cute "pause"-picture.
Title: Re: Bomberman!
Post by: Keranu on November 01, 2007, 04:05:50 PM
I think '93 has better multiplayer while '94 has better single player.

Hmm no love for bomberman generations or jetter for the gc ?

Yeah the,1p mode isn't much but for vs i find it to be pretty good.
Title: Re: Bomberman!

Title: Re: Bomberman!
Post by: SignOfZeta on November 01, 2007, 05:05:26 PM
Yeah, no love whatsoever.

I really like Bomberman Land 2 for GC though, which didn't get a US release for some reason. All Bomberman fans should own this game, and no, not the PS2 version.

Saturn Bomberman or Super Bomberman (SNES)are my all time favs.  with '94 coming in close behind....



And I love Bomberman '93 too!  Matter of fact I love all bomberman games!!  not too much of a fan of the new Cell shaded stuff, but they're ok.


I remember this thread a while back where I mentioned that I liked Super Bomberman for the SNES and most people were appauled at the thought of me liking that version over the TurboGrafx versions....

Still it's down sides are no cable link for 4p since it's only 2p plus the,game is rather easy.

It's decent, pretty much typical Bomberman from what I recall. The best part of the game is when you win and the voice says WEINER!

I like it, I don't own it, but I like it. :) I also like the SNES Bomberman games and the Genesis Bomberman game (IT GETS UNFAIRLY DISSED), and OF COURSE the TG-16 games.

I've never played the Saturn version, but from what I've seen, I would imagine I'd like it.

I didn't like the N64 spinoffs and the Dreamcast version is only OK, I never had internet on my DC so I couldn't change the faces. :(

Has anyone ever tried the PS1 games?

Bomberman 64 had an awesome single player mode, but multiplayer was pretty weak.

'93 will probably always be my favorite.

Got some bomberman toys too.. I think these are around 10 years old .. got them from a japanese supermarket in hong kong.  They came in a candy box with plastic moulding.. the ones you snap off, attached together and apply the stickers with :P   Good times!

Kewl i was just woundering if any body else beside me has played neo bomberman.

Most of the time the snes or pce bombermans are brought up.

Figure i mention it and see what the reponse was.

Btw i enjoyed,Mega Bombrman for the genesis while it was a water downed port of 94 i thought it was ok.

Still if you ask me what i think the tope bomberman game is that's simple saturn bomberman!

@ gujin, nat, & Black_Tiger: I haven't played Hi-Ten either, but based on the what's on the net, it looks like it is superior to Saturn's ten player mode.  Hi-Ten is better looking, has more than one map, and has the little one way arrows, yet I suppose that this is all academic and only makes Hi-Ten technically superior, as there's something to be said for attainability.

@ Digi.K: Cute Bomberman toys.  Was the candy pop rocks or some similar explosive?  :)

The only screenshots or video I've ever seen of it are of the one classic stage thats in Saturn Bomberman and I've only ever seen regular Bombermen as characters in it.

I don't know if any official info ever claimed that it would have any of the other content thats been claimed online, but even if it did, I still think that Saturn Bomberman is the enhanced and expanded result of the HiTen project. I'm guessing that the rest of HTB's battle mode stages would be 4:3 like Saturn Bomberman's since it would make even less sense back then to make a game that most people couldn't play properly.

I don't recall seeing what different characters and maps were available in Hi-Ten, so Saturn Bomberman may well be equal or even better.  I disagree with your assertion that the other Hi-Ten maps would be 4:3, considering that it was only playable at the '93 and '94 Hudson Caravans.

I meant that if it was ever actually released/finished as a real game to buy, then there would likely be regular sized maps. From what I've seen, the demo shown at Caravans was all content in the Saturn game, except for the fmv.
