"From the very first seconds"
Several Bombermen from the golden days gathered on one cartridge: laying bombs, clearing the maze and trapping your opponent at the right moment keeps its fearsome efficiency. The variety of modes sustains the urge and versus stokes rivalries. Handy and generous, this compilation condenses all the flavour of a cult series, ideal to pull out anywhere.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Dropping a bomb, clearing a wall and dashing off before the blast: this re-release of a classic keeps intact a loop you read in a few seconds. Cleaning out the maze to find the exit and beefing up your explosions sets up a methodical, strangely absorbing rhythm, even more so with several players. The repetition of rooms is felt, but the simple pleasure stays effective today.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

The timeless concept of laying bombs in grid mazes, with its explosion management and power-ups, stays fearsomely effective, especially in modes pitting several players. The faithful emulation preserves the readability and the bite of the originals. For a genre fan, someone curious about Hudson heritage or a collector, the title keeps an immediate fun and a solid compilation value.
