Bomberman for the NES is a remake/reboot of a Japanese home computer game of the same name, not the arcade game, as some seem to believe, which was made years later. It was extremely successful considering it was coded in a mere 72 hours.

In the game, you blow enemies and blocks out of your way with bombs until you find a door to the next level. Just make sure not to blow yourself up in the process! The game is quite a blast despite lacking the two-player mode from the arcade port.

Bomberman was already localized for the North American market.
But, the password system was so difficult to use that it made saving and continuing the game an unpleasant experience.
This enhanced version of Bomberman was created to correct this problem.

Patch Features:

[list]

[li]Continuing the game without having to re-type the horribly long password each time!!

[li]The ability to retype any character of the password if a mistake is made!
Simply press Left[/li]

[li]Selecting password characters is now done by pressing Up and Down instead of any pressing any direction[/li]

[li]The ability to correct your password if it is not valid without starting over again!
Instead of being erased it's highlighted in red and any character can be moved to by pressing the A Button or Left[/li]

[li]To make the high score useful and to make getting a high score an actual challenge whenever continuing, your score always starts at zero.[/li]

[li]Additionally, the password now stores your high score instead of your score so that your high score is saved when the NES is turned off! All passwords are fully compatible with the unmodified NES and Famicom game.[/li]

[li]Restored Famicom title screen[/li]

[li]Demo screen fully functional while still allowing the player to continue[/li]
