Retro Yearly List #11 [1985: Bomberman]
The first ever Bomberman, the classic, the original. ...Except it's not, since I just learned this was based on "Eric and the Floaters" (what?) for MSX and ZX Spectrum.
So this is one of those rare cases where I will play not the first ever, but the most well-recognized/popular version.
Bomberman gameplay is already known, with not too much to say about this version, except that it is EXTREMELY repetitive and tiring, you will see almost all game content by level 10, but it has 50, which will randomize the walls and enemies' positions with an increasing difficult, as expected.
There are a lot of power-ups for Bomberman spread along the stages, and if you manage to gather them without dying, you have an overpowered hero destroying everything in your path, and in that case, the game will be funnier, right?
No. It's just boring.
On ending we will learn that Hudson was ahead of its time and already thinking in multiverse and crossovers.
