Bomberman

WTF is this you ask this is a password for level 1 of Bomberman the Famicom Classic game on the Gameboy Advanced. I played this on my 20th Anniversary Famicom Gameboy Advanced SP.
OK so Bomberman for GBA is a re-release of the 1985 game Bomberman for the Famicom. It is a very simple game but don't think that just because its simple makes it easy.  The term "NES hard" was coined for a reason, "Famicom hard" in this case. In Bomberman you have about 199 seconds to kill all the creeps (baddies that kill you by touching you) with timed bombs that you can set down on a square grid and then find a door, hidden inside one of the blocks. The bombs explode in a + pattern and have very short range, but if you blow up block you can sometimes, though rarely, find power ups. You can get a fire-power power-up and a bomb power-up, fire-power increases the range of explosion and the bomb power-up give you extra bombs to set down, because at starting you can only set one bomb down at a time. The maps are completely random, so as not to memories the layout, and the creeps run around randomly. If the timer expires it goes into chaos mode where tons of creeps spawn everywhere and will kill you, if they catch you and they will get you. You get 3 lives and there are no continues.  This part pisses me off the most because after you die you get a password and if you want to continue playing you have to enter a ridiculously long password. If the game had unlimited continues it would be a better game. 

OK kiddies so here is a history lesson on Bomberman--- It came out on the MSX in 1983 by Hudson Soft. The MSX was a BASIC computer system that provide universal cartages, as there were many companies that made them to run software. The original "Bomberman" was only released in Japan but was called "Eric and the floaters" in Europe. Bomberman has appeared in over 70 titles since his creation.

So enough history. Bomberman is a classic and is not hard to find if you are to look. It is a great game so i give it the rating of The Letter Q.

  1. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I'd prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don't mind. Natually I'll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
