Justin Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 My New High Score: 114,100 Awesome game. This is hands down my favorite Bomberman on the TurboGrafx-16, including Bomberman '94 which came a year later.

Every time we have a TG-16 high-score contest, I find myself enjoying this console far more than I ever expected. This game is so much fun. I love the bright colors and fast gameplay.

Sometimes it can feel a little anemic next to a Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo, but there are so many great games and it feels like an NES pumped up to the max!

RickR Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'm going to try later today and this weekend. Today (and every last friday of the month) is the busy/critical day at my work. If all goes well, I will have time later. Justin and Sabertooth 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I may give it one last shot today, otherwise I'm going to be very busy until after March 1st. I'll have a new Squad Challenge up on time. I'd love to see one of you guys take the top spot for Bomberman '93! Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Now that everybody's had some time to play Bomberman '93 what are your thoughts on the game, and on the TurboGrafx-16 in general? How does Bomberman '93 compare to other games in the series? How does Bomberman '93 and the TurboGrafx-16 compare to the Nintendo Entertainment System?

RickR Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I've stated my opinion. But I'll also add that my favorite version is the Saturn 10-player version. PRGE has a whole setup including 10 controllers mounted to a big-@ss piece of plywood and a big screen TV. That one is a blast!

Haha that's great! You'll have to give us updated pics soon 🙂 3 hours ago, RickR said: I'll try to hit 20k next. Keep working on your strategy @RickR it's more puzzle than action. There's a lot of strategy with bomb placement, power-ups, etc. One strategy I use that works for me but not for everybody: I'm careful in the beginning to only detonate blocks that I need to move out of my way. I don't just blow everything up on the screen and let the little buggars run wild. My strategy has been to keep them trapped in their little spaces, and "snipe" them one by one. I try to keep them compartmentalized and not let them run free. If they are in a tight space they're more easily blown up by a single bomb, and their path is predictable. Once they escape their little compartment, or the "maze" area, they can roam free and you lose the ability to predict their behavior or box them in.

Congratulations to high score legend @nosweargamer on his second win in a row, and on becoming our new TurboGrafx-16 Bomberman '93 Squad Champion! No Swear blew it up with his stellar score of 126,700 points, landing himself the top spot in our Final Standings! NSG live-streamed his high score performance in front of an audience on YouTube, and all of his viewers got to watch him win. WAY TO GO @nosweargamer!

I hope you'll keep playing, @RickR, you're very good with strategy and I think something will "click" for you and you'll do very well at this game. 1 hour ago, datafry said: This is was a blast to play.
