If you've played both, do you agree that the US/UK version is noticeably easier (but still rather annoying)?RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-41648767890269185822011-12-02T04:41:19.148+00:002011-12-02T04:41:19.148+00:00I agree with you about it being tooth-gnashingly d...I agree with you about it being tooth-gnashingly difficult, frustrating, and annoying... and I now like the word "pootle."NintendoLegendhttp://nintendolegend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-77077213741983418652011-11-30T19:34:31.831+00:002011-11-30T19:34:31.831+00:00Thanks Marc!

I wish I could interview some of the Hudson guys from that period, it would be very interesting. I'm guessing they must've been at least a fair sized company by then as they had the money to develop he PC Engine... :|RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-6651191023940067082011-11-30T19:06:34.940+00:002011-11-30T19:06:34.940+00:00Imprecise bomb placement = broken Bomberman game.
...Imprecise bomb placement = broken Bomberman game.<br /><br />I really can't imagine having any fun with a Bomberman game that gets this central play mechanic wrong. How large were Hudson Soft at this point? Would it have been programmed by the same people?<br /><br />Another great write up, Simon!StickHeadhttp://thejoyofsticks.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-75699021062150844412011-11-30T00:30:51.736+00:002011-11-30T00:30:51.736+00:00I know what you mean, Marco, it doesn't seem l...I know what you mean, Marco, it doesn't seem like a real Bomberman game and probably wasn't to begin with!<br /><br />Hi Sean, glad to hear it's not just me! As I said, it's such a shame because I would've really liked this game otherwise.

The cover art looks completely different than that for Bomberman.<br /><br />I agree with your opinion too - its not a bad game at first and seems to promise so much. Then you start dying due to those hard-to-predict bombs that you place and suddenly it isn`t so fun anymore!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-72896807911629611102011-11-29T12:27:06.656+00:002011-11-29T12:27:06.656+00:00I remember we played on an emulator on a PC.

Or are there other differences?<br /><br />Regardless, I remember renting this one back in the day, but other than that I can't remember much about it at all.
