DESCRIPTION

The first title in the popular series, Bomberman is a simplistic, though enjoyable game in which the title character walks around a playfield, bombing enemies while trying to find the exit for the level. Each exit is hidden under one of forty blocks. Enemies get harder to thwart as the game wears on, but bombs are unlimited, and power-ups, such as timed bombs, a fireproof vest and the ability to walk through blocks, begin appearing under certain blocks. There's no two-player simultaneous mode, the action is a bit repetitive since each of the 50 levels look (and sound) the same, but the game's basic, highly influential gameplay elements remain a pleasure. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
