Atomic Bomberman is a game by Interplay for the PC that was released in 1996. It was the first original Bomberman game to be developed for Windows, and the second game made for the PC, following 1992's Dyna Blaster.
The game is relatively unique in the Bomberman series, as it was officially licensed from Hudson Soft and developed by an American team, while most titles in the series were developed in Japan. It has a different look and feel compared to other Bomberman titles as a result (despite basic gameplay being unchanged), using pre-rendered 3D characters and backgrounds as opposed to hand-drawn animated sprites, techno-inspired background music and the extensive use of voice samples during gameplay. The voice clips are by well-known voice actors Charles Adler and Billy West.
It is probably the first Bomberman title to have enabled network play over IPX network. Up to 10 human or AI players can play simultaneously over the network or on the same machine.
