To-do list for Bomberman:	edit · history · watch · refresh
Here are some tasks you can do: - Upload a screenshot of Bomberman in action Done. Stills64 18:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Contents 1 Move from (1987 game) to (1985 game) 2 Move from (1985 game) to (1983 game) 3 PSP Remake 4 Are the MSX and NES versions separate games?

[edit] Move from (1987 game) to (1985 game)

According to Moby Games Release Info, this game was released in December of 1985, not 1987. Should it not be moved to (1985 game) and the Japanese/US release dates be clarfied?

• I'd second this move.

• Done. --Tonsofpcs 22:23, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move from (1985 game) to (1983 game)

Since this game came out for the MSX and ZX Spectrum in 1983 (as already noted in the article, with a reference and evidenced by this screenshot), should it not be moved to (1983 game)? - ThomasHarte 14:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

It was set as 1985 game because it only referenced the NES game at the time. With both in one article now, 1983 seems fine, as long as 1985 is referenced. --tonsofpcs _(Talk) 04:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PSP Remake

Going through the list of Bomberman games I noticed the PSP version redirects to this page but has no information on it. I am wondering though if we should incorporate the PSP remake into this article or should we give it it's own article like Bomberman DS. For now I will add the information about the PSP game to this article until we decide for sure where it's going. Xtreme racer 23:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are the MSX and NES versions separate games?

I notice that Nuts & Milk, Hudson's first Famicom game, is entirely different between the MSX and NES versions. Are the versions of Bomberman different on MSX and NES and therefore different games? If so, should the MSX game have its own article? If not, could the NES game be a 'remake' of the MSX one, like are the layouts the same and is there enough to warrant it being a remake? 208.101.173.66 17:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

They're two completely different games. Different level designs, different game play, different graphics. Bomberman in the MSX version is a little man in overalls and a hat, not a robot. Levels are randomly generated, and you and the floaters can walk through bombs. There are many other gameplay differences as well. The NES version isn't a port or an update. 64.242.225.235 21:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Did you mention... "Nuts & Milk"? That won the top spot on the Top 10 Worst Game Names Ever list on GameFAQs! "Whoever thought that name was good needs to be shot, knifed, castrated, and burnt." That was pretty much a direct quote from the list. Yep... --Luigifan 20:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
