bomberman 94'

[Ratix]

i just felt like pointing out that this game is the exact same as the genesis/mega drive version. i wonder why though... could it have been sales?

i just felt like pointing out that this game is the exact same as the genesis/mega drive version.

...except for the number of players. 4 players on Genesis. 5 players on PC Engine.

As far as game play goes, they're pretty much the same.  Graphically, the genny version lacks a lot of detail (i.e. - flat, single colored ground) and is nowhere near as colorful.  The genny version has extra animated stars on the opening cinema, but it also lacks the underwater wavy effect, has a whites only crowd at the 'victory' screen, and is missing some of the animated spectators on a few multi-player maps.

Music on the genesis version better,but graphically the pce version wins hands down.

Other that the pce has the edge suporting 5p then 4p on the genesis version.

That's all realy when it boils down to it.

Is there a comparison page somewhere here on elsewhere on the internetz? I'd like to see/hear the differences.

Not that I know of, but here's a side by side comparison for you:






The TurboGrafx version makes the Genesis version look like an NES game.

BM'94 belongs to the engine. anything else is garbage.

Hot linking picture fail! 

Anyway, here's Black Tiger's comparison: http://www.superpcenginegrafx.com/bomberman_94_comp.html.

That's weird, the hotlinked pictures worked for hours and hours yesterday. I guess overnight MobyGames decided it wasn't gonna fly?

Either way, Black Tiger's comparison is much more comprehensive than what I posted, so folks should go check that out.

I knew I remembered seeing that comparison before. Black_Tiger's comparison is great. 

But man, the Genny version is lackluster in comparison to the PCE version.

I do prefer the genny sound though.. the pce version.. bomberman 94 has the weakest music compared to the other bomberman games. imo.

I agree it has the weakest sound out of all the Turbo entries, but I still prefer the Turbo sound of BM94 over the Genesis version.

that's right so far, but the BM'93 and original BM BGM blows all others away with ease. BM'94 most weak point was teh sloppy BGM.
