I don't know of any Bomberman game, demo or otherwise, released on the PC-FX.

Hi-Ten Bomberman was developed for the PC-FX but instead they converted it to Saturn Bomberman and released it there instead.

Hi-Ten Bomberman was not developed for the PC-FX.


Also, Saturn Bomberman is not really a conversion of Hi-Ten at all.
--------------------------
 I know this is getting off topic here but Hi-Ten Bomberman was developed for the system that became the FX.  When it was shown and played at one of the Hudson Caravan (?) shows in Akihabara back in like '93/94, it was played on a unit with PC Engine controllers and the hardware was not visible. There is some speculation that the console under the hood was Hudson's Tetsujin which was later abandoned/merged with NEC's early FX work in progress to make the PC-FX.  When that happened, Hi-Ten Bomberman was announced for the FX. In fact, afaik, the game wasn't called Hi-Ten Bomberman when it was first shown.  The name of the game was announced with the FX announcement later.  The FX version was completed and then completely redone for the Saturn.  The only major changes being the addition of other Hudson characters which (I got the impression from an interview with Takahashi Meijin I did a while back) were not all originally in the FX version.

To get back on topic though...afaik, there is no Bomberman  demo hidden on any FX disc.  You could probably find out by getting all of Hudson's FX titles and taking a peak at what's on the disc.  But really, this info couldn't have been hidden this long.  Even the Japanese sites have nothing to say on the topic.  this would be quite a find if true.
