Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are of the exact item you'll receive — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Bomberman II is at its best with three people crowded around one television, each trying to box the others in with a perfectly placed bomb. Its three-player battle mode, played through the NES Four Score adapter, and its two-player versus option are what set this sequel apart from Hudson Soft's first NES Bomberman, which was a strictly solo affair. Those head-to-head matches are an early taste of the bombing free-for-alls that would turn the series into a party-game institution in the Super Bomberman years.

The single-player campaign has a story of its own. Bomberman has been framed for a bank robbery by his rival, Black Bomber, and thrown in prison, so every maze-like stage is another cell block to blast through on the way to freedom. The rules are elegantly simple: drop a bomb, step clear of the cross-shaped blast, and use the explosions to clear soft blocks, defeat the patrolling enemies and uncover the exit door. Hidden power-ups give you more bombs and a longer reach, and the stronger you get, the more creative ways you find to trap yourself. After a game over, a password lets you return to the stage you reached, so a good run is never wasted.

It arrived on the Famicom in Japan in 1991 and reached North America in early 1993, near the end of the console's life, making it the second and final Bomberman released on the NES there, while Europe knew it as Dynablaster. Its graphics and sound are modest even by late-NES standards, but nobody remembers Bomberman II for its looks. The visuals are simple, but the timing and spatial thinking it asks for are the same skills that drive every Bomberman since, and its battle arena is reason enough to keep a Four Score next to an NES.

About the game

Bomberman II follows the popular Famicom/NES game Bomberman, incorporating a number of new features to the series. The game maintained the classic Bomberman game-type, requiring the player to navigate a maze of blocks using bombs to make a path. It added a two-player and three-player mode, and had a more developed storyline. The game was developed by Hudson Soft and released on the Family Computer and the NES. It was marketed as Dynablaster in Europe.
