Neo Bomberman with 4 player gameplay!
Hudson Soft hit big with this very popular team play battle game
which saw release across most home console systems. One of the biggest
elements of gameplay which drew the attention of players was the multi-player
feature which allowed for players to play cooperatively and/or competitively.
The Neo Geo version was apparently at one point along its design intended to
incorporate a 4 player function via the MULTI-LINK capability. Although that
version never seemed to come to light, some remnance of its existance can
still be found throughout parts of the game. (see composite screenshots below)
Neo Bomberman also holds the distinction of being one of only 8 NEO-GEO games
which did not utilize the memory card feature. Furthermore, it seems to have
been intended to be marketed exclusively to Spain for its European market area
because it boots up in a default of the Spanish language on a European system.
