Bomberman

Isn't that

Bomberman? Yep.

Bomberman.

Yeah.

Yes.

I feel

like how much do Zoomers in Gen Alpha, how much do they care about Metroid, Castlevania, Mega Man, Bomberman, you know?

Well, I do actually think this is something that happened with that Square Enix is having to, that Squeenix is having to contend with is like, there are a lot of people who saw Final Fantasy 16 and were like, I don't want to play 15 games to understand it and just never looked into it.

I think that, I think that number's kind of, I think that's kind of a bullshit excuse personally.

What else is there? Right.

Yeah, so we've seen Bomberman...

Bomberman's come back...

My guess would be anything they're looking at making collections of are things that are under consideration.

Like, we've seen a Bomberman collection recently.

They've done Super Bomberman's even when they were in the wilderness.

I could see that coming back.

Like, this might just be wistful thinking, but in Japan they did do a Goemon collection that...

Ah

... playing, playing multiplayer, you basically are, are on a grid, sort of like, um, Bomberman.

But you-

Right

And, um, and of course, uh, there was some artwork that, uh, David167 ended up sharing, of course referencing some other games that have indeed, that will indeed get some air time on the, uh, Space Channel 5.

Je- uh, did I say Jet Set Radio? Um, I mean, obviously I cannot bring in Dead or Alive or Bomberman or Spider-Man or of, uh, or any of that ilk for obvious reasons, uh, third party gatherings.

But, but it's still there.

Jamie is asking why is Spider-Man there.

We had SEGA box at the start, covering a, uh, well, obviously the main vocal theme right there from SEGA Ga Ga Ga, the SEGA Ga Ga Ga March, and you can go ahead and check that out as part of SEGA Ga Ga Ga Volume 2 on the 24/7 stream so it's there for you to make a move, okay? Uh, geez.

Um, Jamie64326 is saying, "Every character there is owned by SEGA apart from Spider-Man." Okay, you answer that question again.

Is Bomberman owned by SEGA? Are the Dead or Alive girls owned by SEGA? Were anything to do with Puyo owned by SEGA at the time? Okay, we can debate the third one, but I'm pretty sure that Bomberman and the Dead or Alive girls don't exist with SEGA.

[laughs] Okay.

I just, because I saw this just came out on Steam and it was called Blaster Bug.

And it is basically a Bomberman clone.

And I love Bomberman, so I was excited to try this.

But it's Bomberman clone, 100%.

You can play online with other people, which is cool in 2026, but it sucks.

It's nowhere near as good as Bomberman.

Remember Bomberman, like on

the DS, you could do local stream play to other players, whatever? I

It's all we got.

So he got mad that I picked out Bomberman 64.

That shit's fun.

And I picked out Super Smash Bros.

mad.

No.

Bomberman 64 is one of my favorite games.

Bomberman has a fucking Switch title.

Maybe I've heard of it once or twice, but I never played it.

The number eight or penultimate game for today is Bomberman.

Bomberman is a simple but incredibly fun maze-style game where you play, well, Bomberman, who's trying to escape prison by blowing stuff up.

On each level, you must detonate your bombs to blow up guards and blocks to find exits and power-ups.

It was designed for Japanese machines first with 1985 releases on the MSX and Famicom, and a 1989 Hudson Soft NES release, and later released in Europe for the ST, Amiga, and other machines.

The NES version has a 68 out of 100 average review score on Moby, with scores ranging from the 100% by Questicle down to the 42% by the NES Archives.

If a reviewer appreciated the original game released in 1985, it got a high review score on the NES.

But those who liked the follow-up Bomberman 2 and Bomberman 3 seemed to give the NES Bomberman a lower score because it was dated graphically and sonically four years after the initial release.
