Pocket Bomberman, Game Boy Color
Pocket Bomberman was initially released for the original black and white Game Boy in 1998, and the following year it was re-worked in colour and released as a launch title for the Game Boy Color. Other than the colour enhancements, the game is pretty much identical to the OG Game Boy version, which is no bad thing as it’s an exceptional game.
Pocket Bomberman, Game Boy
Initially published in 1997 for the original black and white Game Boy, by Hudson Soft in Japan and Nintendo worldwide, Pocket Bomberman is a scrolling platform game that incorporates elements from the famous Bomberman series. And I have to say that it works exceptionally well and makes for a very good game!
Super Bomberman 5, Super Nintendo
The final entry in the Super Bomberman series, Super Bomberman 5 was released in Japan only in 1997, and was developed and published by Hudson Soft. A partial fan translation into English is available, but for some reason it has not been fully completed (at the time of writing, at least).

Developed by Produce! and published by Hudson Soft – in Japan only – in 1996, Super Bomberman 4 thankfully does have a fan translation available, which makes the game fully playable in English.
Super Bomberman 3, Super Nintendo

Ecks vs. Sever, Game Boy Advance
Ecks vs. Sever is a first-person shooter based on an early draft of the script of the 2002 film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, starring Antonio Banderas (as Jeremiah Ecks), and Lucy Liu (as Sever), and was released before the film had even begun production (which is very unusual). The game was developed by Crawfish Interactive and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2001. A second Ecks vs. Sever game, called Ballistic, was released in 2002.
Bomberman II, NES/Famicom
Released in 1991 in Japan and Europe, and in 1993 in North America, Bomberman II is the sequel to 1985’s Bomberman on the NES/Famicom, and it features improved graphics and a multiplayer mode for competitive games against other players (a first for the series). Bomberman II is more in line with the excellent PC Engine version of Bomberman, than anything radically different, and it does improve parts of the game considerably.
