Bomberman is a party game, but there is no good version that is on multiple platforms. Many of the games are similar, but they are not the same. Which version are yall pushing for? The only two I know that are on more than two platforms are Jetters (ps2, gamecube, xbox) and Bomberman (TG16, Gameboy, pcs - Nes game is different).

Bomberman 94 for PC Engine is out on VC and I think PSN. Mega Bomberman for Mega Drve/Genesis is a port.

You posted while I was trying to post...94 is the best choice out of the lot of them. Even though I love Saturn and Super Bomberman 5 more

Tell me if I missed or forgot to bold anything.

No reason why we can't just have a giant Bomberman party. However, for a real together party, there's 4-player Neo-Bomberman on Supercade. :D

@AlienJesus: Sparkster, Gunstar Heroes, and I think Quake should be bolded, right?

[alienjesus]

Bolded Gunstar and Sparkster again (was using the same list from before where I forgot). I don't THINK Quake has had two suggestions though.

I had to double check the master list out of sheer surprise that it hasn't been used yet.

No, you're right, I was really equating dsheinem's "any id FPS" suggestion as support of noise's earlier Quake suggestion.

i'm down!

[noiseredux]

so the lack of bold on Skies of Arcadia is just cuz it's considered too expensive or...?

[alienjesus]

I missed CFFJR seconding it. I'll change it now.
