Name:	Bomberman (unreleased)
Author/Vendor:	Factor 5/Hudson Soft
Released:	1993
Type:	Shooter
Language:	English
Premise:	This is the original Bomberman game for the Genesis. According to Eidolon, Factor 5 was asked to do a Genesis port of Bomberman and came up with this 8-player version that used multiple joystick port adaptors. Hudson was impressed, but decided in favor of a local Japanese company instead.
Impressions:	Eight players on the Genesis is impressive enough, and the trademark frantic gameplay is still there! This game's a riot! Compared to this, Mega Bomberman seems rather plain and awkward.
Variations:	Also known as the Bomberman Eight Player Hack. I also note in passing that although it was never commercially released, this demo is still covered by Hudson's copyright on the Bomberman franchise.
Recommended Emu:	Genecyst X
