Mega Bomberman - Sega Genesis/Megadrive

In the category of great arcade games, Bomberman has its well earned spot, and Mega Bomberman has one alongside it. The latter has seen digital daylight over a decade ago and since then it has rounded up quite a lot of fans.

It has a simple and captivating gameplay, tons of levels and most of all, it’s plain and pure arcade fun.

Mega Bomberman features a little storyline in which you will have to defeat Bagular and his robot army that has invaded your homeworld. To be able to do so, you will have to cross six areas, collect the pieces of the Spirit Picture and finally confront Bagular.

Each zone has the same structure but its contents are randomized every time you start one so you won’t repeat the same level over and over again. There are plenty of boxing bunnies and menacing robots out to get you but as long as you’re quick to react and figure out the best place to plant a bomb, they will not be able to stop you.

It has been mentioned that Mega Bomberman’s time of glory has set a long time ago but even so, compared to a lot of games that have appeared in recent years, it still looks good and thanks to its simple and entertaining nature, it’s playable even today.

Moreover, if you’re not really interested in playing the campaign, the game offers you a versus mode in which you can play with friends or against multiple AI bomber men.

Mega Bomberman might not seem like much for the newer generation but as far as arcade games go, this one is a keeper. Sometimes it can be too easy, other times to difficult, but it will be fun all the time.
