A playthrough of Interplay's 1997 multiplayer action-puzzle game for PCs running Windows 95, Atomic Bomberman.
This video shows a single match played on each of the maps available in game. Some of the matches are running all AI characters, and I am playing in some (though this game's AI is beyond twitchy) - however, the best way to play this way back in 1997 was over a 28.8k modem - internet multiplayer was amazing on this when you think that it's 19 years old now. I also changed up the number of players between matches, with some of them carrying the max player count at 10 Bombermen simultaneously blowing each other up.
It's quite a unique take on the series, with its pre-rendered CG characters, a really distinct 90s house/techno soundtrack, random voice overs all over the place (played by voice actors for Buster Bunny from Tiny Toons and Stimpy from Ren & Stimpy), and it's lack of a dedicated single-player "story" mode.
It's also officially licensed by Hudson Soft, so this wasn't some off-shoot, random homage to the series - it is sanctioned as an legit entry in the series.
It was never my favorite Bomberman, but it definitely deserves a look, and it stands WELL above that abomination that Konami unleashed several years later.
