Now we all should know Bomberman should we? But did you know that Bomberman's roots lie with the humble Speccy? Well it does, because Hudson Soft themselves ported the original MSX version to the ZX Spectrum and then in 1984 Sinclair Research re-issued the game for proper commercial release as Eric and the Floaters. And it's exactly what you'd expect from Bomberman, good ol' blasting fun! Ok the controls are a little fiddly and a bit unresponsive but it's still Bomberman nonetheless and still great fun and any fan of Bomberman should look at this game.
So for now on when you play Bomberman on your SNES, your Game Boy, your DS, your 360, or even in your sleep, please be sure to give thanks to Eric.
