It's fascinating seeing June Chikuma constantly reinvent her one Bomberman soundtrack over the course of ten years, as she demonstrates a thorough mastery of all sorts of sound chips... usually only on her second go with any given console. Bomberman '93 is generally known as her better soundtrack on the PC Engine as far as I know (it's quite similar to the SFC Super Bomberman 3 soundtrack, I think?), but I like this one a lot. The sound design choices really highlight how the PC Engine's sound chip was the next step forward in Namco's old wavetable-based sound chip - which probably also explains why they re-released so many of their games on this console.
Oh, uh, the game? It's Bomberman. It's basically identical to Bomberman II on NES as far as I can tell. It's not really much to write home about, especially if you're playing single player.
