Look ma...I'm flying! 53 Unique Released Titles Listed
92 Total Released Titles Listed

  Below the titles is a list of computer and game systems you'll read of in regards to assorted bomberman titles released over the years. They come after the list since the list is more informative and important. Some of the systems you'll know, some you won't, some you'll never even see in the flesh (dismal but true). I know I won't. Each system listing has minimal info included; you can find a wealth of data elsewhere. The point is to adequately show everybody who cares, what Bomberman titles were released, and what ones might be the best bet to try and find, play, or buy for yourself. Here at Bomberman's Basement we advocate the policy of grabbing a pile of friends, and blasting them to shreds. Keep reading...the list is long, but it tells a cool story eventually. In a round about, read between the lines sort of way.

the titles keep on going and going and going...

This would be read Japanese GameBoy, European GameBoy, and lastly American GameBoy.

This has to be one of the titles off this list that has just about all anyone would need in a Bomberman title. 8 players on a normal tv, 10 on an hdtv, and a healthy story mode that is visually appealing while still incredibly fun to play.

until the flames burn out...
MSX = Z80 based home computer family popular outside of the United States running an extended version of Microsoft Basic designed by ASCII . Info gathered from The Ultimate MSX Faq

ZX Spectrum = Another Z80 based home computer from Sinclair Reasearch Ltd..
Info gathered from the Spectrum FAQ

Famicom = An 8 bit Japanese game system released by Nintendo. The name is a catchy and somewhat easy to figure out hybrid of the words Family and Computer It, and the offspring it produced, really brought the world of videogames to a new era. Besides the cartridge console there was a floppy disk based system, dubbed the Famicom Disk System.

NES = The United States' version of the Famicom dubbed the Nintendo Entertainment System. The chore of releasing, and policing it in the United States originally was offered to Atari by Nintendo, but they declined. The world has never been the same.

PC Engine / PCE = A truly radical 16 bit Japanese system from NEC which most saw as the birthplace of Bomberman. It wasn't the first system to exploit the bombs of our favorite robot friend, but it was the most popular game system to first get it right.

x68000 = A personal computer in Japan first released in 1986 from Sharp. It had an operating system designed by Hudson, but also ran a version of Windows.
Info gathered from the Japanese Computer Emulation Centre

GameBoy = An 8 bit seemingly monochrome, portable game system from Nintendo. One of the longest selling supported systems to date, with revised editions of software and hardware continuing to be produced. SGB = Super GameBoy enhanced for expanded options on the SNES via the Super GameBoy adapter.

Turbo-Grafx 16 / TG16 = The United States' version of the PCE. The games were amusing, the ads were decent, but against Nintendo it could only last so long.

Commodore 64 / c64 = Commodore's long remembered computer for the masses that not only had software available on cassette tape, but 5 1/4" floppy, and lastly 3 1/2" floppy media. Their composite monitors simply rock my nads, even if their titles don't do much to me.

Amiga = Commodore's higher end computer that has recently seen a renewed growth in fanfare. With people looking back to their early computer days, most see the Amiga and get teary eyed remembering the good days and all the good games.

Atari ST = One of Atari's last efforts to crash back into the computer scene it was soon watching run away from it. As certain individuals killed the computer side of Atari with a dull and rusty knife, the rest of the industry hit the gas and sped forward.

Super Famicom / SFC - The 16 bit son of the Famicom. The Japanese got all the really amazing games, but we got some decent titles here in the United States as well. Anyone else have trouble getting the Super Mario World music out of their head?

Super Nintento / SNES = The United States' version of the ever popular Super Famicom. You know, they were working on an SNES exercise bike addon for a while? Until they remembered what happened with the Nintendo PowerPad and wised up.

PC Engine SuperCD = CD Software Format for use with the PCE, Turbo-Duo, Turbo-Grafx 16 and other NEC systems I cannot begin to list. Where, and for how much the adapters to use the SuperCD format were found, I don't even know. Some systems will play it out of the box, some need a cd drive added, some an adapter. Are you confused yet?

NeoGeo MVS = Arcade game system from NeoGeo offering a range of titles. Often you'll see these as multi game cabinets, but there's single game units as well. The graphics and gameplay can be pretty decent, but the price...OUCH.

NeoGeo AVS = Home version of the NeoGeo MVS offering a range of titles also available on the arcade version, but catered to home play for those privelaged enough to afford it.

MegaDrive = The Japanese brother to our own Sega Genesis here in the United States. The box art and manual covers usually were designed brilliantly, or just looked amazing. The packaging itself usually beat our version of cardboard boxing the death as well.

Genesis = Sega of America's answer to the popular MegaDrive. It still has an impressive game library when compared to its' Japanese brother. A ton of rpgs, an assload of platformers, and a healthy blend of other titles as well. There's been 3 main system versions, the last released via Majesco. To throw some seeds in the bucket Sega along with those also released the Sega CD addon, the portable Sega Nomad handheld Genesis, the Sega 32X, a 32 bit expansion unit, and of course, the Sega CDX, an easy to transport combo with Genesis cart and cd playability. Other systems are capable of playing Genesis games, including the JVC X Eye, among others.

Nintendo Virtual Boy / VBoy = Nintendo's orphaned 32 bit 3D system with red and black color scheme that often gives you a headache after an hour. It has some nifty games, but the game library is meager. It wasn't supported much, but when people don't buy your product...

Keychain Handheld = Very similar in look to those DigiPets that children so loved to collect, and parents so loved to hate. Fortunately this one actually was a game to keep the kids busy rather than monotone screams and calls of hunger from the demonic mass of plastic. Though feeding a growing bomber could have had its' own excitement.

Sega Saturn = Sega's 32 bit followup to their successful Genesis. It did poorly here in the United States but did well enough in Japan if you look at the amount of titles actually produced import wise. 2 of the 3 available Saturn Bomberman games were only available as imports and never even released in the United States.

Windows 95/ Win95 = A Microsoft OS from hell some claim, though it's easily useable for the masses so serves its' purpose. On a related note I found Bill Gates' book The Road Ahead for 50 cents at Goodwill, with cd still in sealed sleeve. Any guesses what that means? No Bill, there is no Santa Claus...but atleast your new OS births somewhat support older software. NOT! Everyone forgot about DOS in the shuffle for new solitaire decks, and desktop themes.

Nintendo 64 / n64 = Nintendo's 64 bit system which boasts 4 controller ports standard on deck. This fact alone killed my need for the ritualistic buying of tap for the system post purchase. Though they still manage to get your cash since you need multiple memory packs.

GameBoy Color / GBC = Nintendo's color portable system with backwards compatibility with most GameBoy games, also supporting some of the SuperGameBoy enhancements in assorted titles. The newly released games usually are adequate but rarely AMAZING sadly.

PlayStation / PSX = Sony's 32 bit software rich system that started out its life as an SNES cd addon. Yeah, but things fell through and Sony released it as their own system saving the world from the continued Nintendo Regime, or 4th Reich. A monopoly is bad, mmm'ok?

Arcade = Those big game machines you lose quarters in, all the while being monitored by tiny cameras inside recording your response. Atleast that's what I shall believe... Makers Irem seem to be the early leader in the Bomberman Crusade.

Dreamcast = Sega's 128 bit system currently the bloody dog in the pound fighting against stronger mutts for our purchase. It's pretty much stone cold. I guess God dislikes Sega ever since they axed the Neptune. Hard to say, God is funny like that.

PlayStation 2/ PS2 = Sony's newest next-gen system killing Sega's chances at world domination anytime soon. It's backwards compatible with the PSX software, and most of the hardware accessories as well. Whether it can weave around the stiff arm of Nintendo we shall soon see. There's a new war brewing, but luckilly we'll reap the benefits.

IBM Compatible/DOS = A Personal Computer running DOS, short for Disk Operating System. Luckilly newer computers can usually run some DOS apps with a bit of luck.

GameBoy Advance = Nintendo's newest portable system offering a splendid gaming jaunt, as well as a lovely software library which still supports previous GameBoy software titles. The graphics are often close to SNES quality, and the colors are amazing.

Gamecube = Nintendo's new beast on the playground. This is the first fully supported Nintendo system to use a medium besides cartridge to shovel games to consumers. (excluding the Famicom Disk System). The games will be on proprietary discs. The games are on the ps2 level graphics wise so far from previews. The system debuts in the United States later this November.
