Developed by Hudson Soft and published by Ubisoft, Bomberman is a can't-miss classic. Earning a spot in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, by Tony Mott.
This top-down, strategic, maze-based arcade game features a storyline familiar to most gamers. Guy has a girl; a bad guy takes her, so the guy must fight his way through enemies to get her back. Though the storyline is simple, the gameplay is fast-paced and fun. Using bombs to blast through walls and turn enemies to ash, it's easy to get drawn into the action. With no shortage of upgrades, you can change your strategy to beat the increasingly challenging levels.
Boasting bright graphics, colorful characters, and a hilarious bomb dropping sound, Bomberman is a must-play, and it's clearly one of the best 20 NES Games ever created. Just be careful not to blow yourself up.
