A very rough start for Bomberman, ironically mostly because the game itself has a very rough start.
His slow movement speed, 1 Bomb at a time that only has 1 range on each side on explosion, with detonation taking forever, is too little to start off with. You're supposed to grab power-ups and become a snowball of death, but there's only 1 Power-Up per level and it may not even be useful. Furthermore, you have to not only kill all the enemies (which is more difficult with their sporadic movement, in addition to Bomberman's non-grid locked movement in a grid based game making him hit walls a lot), but pray you find the exit and also don't accidentally hit it with a bomb, all within 3 minutes. And then level 2 introduces enemies that are faster than Bomberman making this task even more absurd.
What a weak game to start off such a well known series.
