Great Hudson Soft classic!

The Good
NES' Bomberman had good graphics for its era, simple gameplay and good sound effects, besides the classic soundtrack. Its concept was innovative and the NES version is better than the MSX one. Because this, Hudson Soft developed a new NES version-like MSX's Bomberman game, called Bomberman Special.

The Bad
Nothing to say, it was a classic (and still is)!

The Bottom Line
A nice classic from Hudson Soft! If you have an NES or GBA, get it and explode the enemies!

Good, but it could be better...

The Good
Bomberman Special was based on the NES' Bomberman. Its idea was great, and its gameplay and graphics were good. Music and sound effects were also good, better even than the NES ones.

The Bad
NES version had a thing MSX version didn't: Bomberman speed. Bomberman, in MSX, was very slow, which affects Bomberman's search time. Bomberman needed to be quicker to find the exit, blow up the enemies and quit level.

The Bottom Line
Bomberman was a good game, even on MSX, with the Special release. If you want a good game for MSX, get and play it! But don't expect too much of it...
