I believe there was a video posted on here some time ago that had footage of all the Bomberman games in order, but this is the text equivalent of that, featuring some commentary from someone who's been playing since 1991. As of the time of me posting this, I haven't read through the entire thing yet (gotta do work first........and by "work" I mean "scanslation"), but I'll get back to it.

If I don't wield the bomb, I can't protect you. If I keep wielding the bomb, I can't embrace you.

This really is a very very interesting post, there are all their games (an exception of the two Bakugaiden games even though the Jetters games are shown)

It's amazing all the impact that Bomberman has had these days, it's really great

Okay, thoughts as I go:

-Every hour is "bomb o'clock" as far as I'm concerned.  

-Man, I had no idea about the Hi-Ten events...

-TBH I would be okay if they brought back/updated the Panic Bomber puzzle-style gaming. That shit looks fun as hell.

-Panel Paint from Online Bomberman (2003) sounds like a variation from the Reversi mode in B-Gen.

I'm really surprised you hadn't heard of Hi-Ten Bomberman.

Been a while since I poked about on Ragey's site, and I might have even missed it even when I was on there. Good to know my memory is working just fine as I approach mumblemumble some age that is more than the age I am currently mumblemumble.

Tell me about it.

To be fair, though, he's quiet around here about his updates. I don't remember when all this info sprung up or if it's been discussed on the forum or elsewhere.

My memory is pretty much good for retaining Bomberman info, work stuff, and anything bad that happens, and pretty bad at most other things. I can't remember everything I need from the grocery store and I might forget my license on the drive there, but I can recite Bomberman enemy character names and behaviours like nobody's business. It's the important things in life...
