Protect Planet Bomber this #ScanlineSunday in Bomberman '94 for PC Engine 💣

This game introduced Bomberman's kangaroo bunny buddy Louie! Team up with them to run laps around Bagura and his Robot Army, or fight it out in multiplayer with up to five friends or foes as your favorite Bomberman battler

Title Screen with White Bomberman and Louie, a few of the bomberman family jump in from the side // Bomberman '94 for PC Engine, released on PS3, photography on CRT TV

Two enemies are blasted to bits as Bomberman walks away casually. Destroy the green orbs in order to unlock the shard and restore Planet Bomber!

Bomberman winks at the player after a succesful level clear

The first boss attacks after all the shards are restored, a small monkey controls a giant robot banana.

every delivery driver should be issued a bullet to legally shoot one person, annually

as long as you still haven't used yours this year, it would be easy to keep people from being assholes

agreed. the title was more meant to reference her fighting style and not necessarily her personality itself.

this one is still relatively simple but it doesn't have some of the odd proportions of the early Street Fighter 3 figures

the obvious answer is his SF5 figure but i'm not very fond of that design
