3-D Bomberman

Microsoft MSX - Released - 1984

The game is essentially a remake of the original Bomber Man, but from a first-person perspective. It resembles many early "3D Maze" games that manipulated 2D backdrops and sprites to give the illusion of a 3D environment. This change makes it far more difficult for the player to gain situational awareness of the map, the range of bombs, and the position and movement of Barom enemies. Additionally, indestructible walls have been changed to look identical to destructible ones, which might be due to limitations in the graphics engine

100 Man Battle Bomberman

Android - Released - March 28, 2012

Plenty of Bomberman games have been happy to settle for the tried-and-true "blowing up monsters" gameplay. But when's the last time you saw one that put the "blowing up Bombermen" gameplay fore and centre? ... okay, when's the last time you saw one with nearly one hundred CPU-controlled Bombermen to defeat? Now that's something.

Bakushou Yoshimoto Shinkigeki

NEC TurboGrafx-CD - Released - January 3, 1994

The game is based on the comedy TV show Yoshimoto no Shinkigeki, which in its turn is based on a theatrical comedy show popular in Osaka and its surroundings. The game stars characters that either look like the actors from the TV show and/or resemble characters played by them. The show consists of short episodes which are depictions of comical situations, and are not related to each other story-wise. Same can be applied to the game: there is no real story, just a stretch of hilarious and intentionally impossible situations the protagonists find themselves in. The setting is deliberately...

Battle Ace

NEC TurboGrafx-16 - Released - November 30, 1989

Taking a fair amount of inspiration from Sega's After Burner II, Battle Ace is a sci-fi based cockpit shooter. Gameplay is purely arcade style, with a standard machine gun and lock-on missiles to take down the enemy aggressors. There's little more to it than that.

Bikkuriman Daijikai

NEC TurboGrafx-CD - Released - December 23, 1988

Based on a manga/anime character, Bikkuri Man Daijikai is less a game, more an encyclopedia of information.

Clicking on the image or on its icon beneath it can bring up more characters to look at, and sometimes clicking on a part of the image brings up a description of that part. At various times a quiz screen will appear and...

Bikkuriman World

NEC TurboGrafx-16 - Released - October 30, 1987

Despite being Hudson’s Vol.2, this was in fact released almost a month before The Kung Fu. It’s a conversion of what most people know as Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and it’s as perfect a conversion as you’re likely to get. This game takes a different pace from the first Wonder Boy game, being more of an adventure with a slower pace and more strategy. You start the game with barely a thread on and are given a sword by some wise looking dude who lives in a tree - so far so good. It is then your task to travel through the various platform-based levels defeating monsters and evil bosses along the...
