Atomic Bomberman (PC)

If you are wanting a cheap and fairly fun game, this is an option, however don't expect too much out of it. Most people will have played some variation of bomberman at some time, whether on the game boy, NES, SNES, Megadrive, at the arcade or at one of the various other places it has appeared over the years. The main advantage of this game is that it's cheap, the most you will have to pay for it is £5 and I've often seen offers to allow you to get it cheaper than this, or another game free if you buy it. For a £5 game it's fairly good. The basic idea is that you control a man who has the ability to put down bombs (hence the ...  Read the complete review

Atomic Bomberman is one of those games that should be in your collection, because it is one of the few split-screen games for PC, and because it can be played by anybody. With the right equipment up to 8 people can play, and 2 can play on a keyboard, so it is great fun with friends. The premise of the game is simple - by planting bombs on a grid on the screen, to kill your opponents. But the game can be as simple or as complex as you want. There are many power-ups which appear as you blow up the bricks on the screen, which do things such as making your flame longer, making you able to kick your bombs, or be able to plant more than one ...  Read the complete review

I got this a while back for the modest price a fiver. I had played simple old bomberman before, but this was something else entirely. The game is fast and difficult when played with several friends at the same time. There are a large number of levels to choose from and some special weapons/tools thrown in to spice up the game a little. Playing this game on the PC, against 3 other human players is great fun. You can also play in a team(s) against the computer. The game can become very confusing when you have lots of players, some flashing, moving at different speeds, dropping bombs constantly, but that is the fun of the game. In all the game is ...  Read the complete review

I remember the good old days of Super Nintendo and Super Bomberman - it was great! But then it became outdated and I have never used it since. I missed Super Bomberman, and when I found out about Atomic Bomberman on the PC I went out and got it. But as Bomberman games go - this one is bad!!! In my opinion the main problem is the controlability of the game, and the way they have tried to add extra features to it. The great thing about Super Bomberman was it was easy to control, it was relatively simple, and any idiot could play it - Atomic Bomberman just got too complicated and too many "improvements" were made for the PC version. Another ...  Read the complete review

Atomic Bomberman should have been so much better. There's little to beat a large multiplayer game, especially when its as simple a premise as this - blow up your opponents and don't get blown up yourself. It was even cheap - only £4.99. Unfortunately the game is a poor interpretation of the classic Dynablaster on the Amiga. That game was much more fun. Bomberman's graphics are pretty basic, nothing to write home about. The biggest thing that surprised me was the installation options - if you don't install everything onto your computer, it can suddenly pause mid-game to read from your CD drive. If you perform a complete install, well, its ...  Read the complete review
