Bomberman
Bomberman is a puzzle-like maze-based computer game where you have to complete the levels by stragetically placing bombs in the level. It is developed by Hudson Soft. It is also a multiplayer party-game, where the aim of the game is to eliminate all other users. Multiplayer games tend to be more fast-paced than the single-player game, as each player frantically places bombs in hopes of catching an opponent in the blast. Versions of Bomberman released by Ubisoft for home computer systems were re-titled Dynablaster. Games in the Bomberman series include: There are dozens of unofficial ports of the game onto graphing calculators. It is a favorite among TI-89 gamers.
