Mega Bomberman is a video game from the Bomberman series. It was originally released in 1993 as Bomberman '94 for the PC-Engine/Turbografx-16 and was ported to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. The PC-Engine version was released only in Japan; the Mega Drive/Genesis version was released internationally.
The game supports single-player and multi-player modes. In single player, the player navigates several levels of mazes, destroying creatures with bombs. In multi-player mode, players defeat each other with bombs.
The Mega Drive/Genesis port had some differences, such as less options in multi-player, inferior graphics, and some different music (for example, Jammin' Jungle's music in the original version was reused as the first level in Super Bomberman 4, but is entirely different in the other version).
Bomberman '94 (TurboGrafx-16 version) is available in Japan on the Virtual Console. Outside of Japan, the prequel, Bomberman '93, was made available instead.[1] A remixed version of the game was released for the SNES as Super Bomberman 3.

[edit] Plot
The inhabitants of Bomber Planet lived in peace, protected by five spirits, until the evil Bagulaa and his robot army invaded. The Spirit Pictures, the source of the Spirits' magical power, were destroyed, splitting Bomber Planet into five pieces. Bomberman arrives to restore the Spirit Pictures and reassemble Bomber Planet.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is set in six areas: a jungle, a volcano, a sea, a horror-themed castle, an ice level, and the asteroid lair of Bagulaa. In the Turbografx version (Bomberman '94) the maximum number of players is five in battle mode. In Mega Bomberman the maximum number of players is four. This is the first game in the series that uses the modern design of White Bomberman.
