Bomberman '94 (ボンバーマン'94, Bonbāman kyūjūyon) is a video game from the Bomberman series which was developed and published by Hudson Soft for the PC Engine and released on December 10, 1993, in Japan. It was later re-developed by Westone and re-published by Sega as Mega Bomberman on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994 in other areas. The PC Engine Bomberman '94 was later released outside Japan through the Virtual Console and the PlayStation Network.
The game supports single-player and multi-player modes. In single player, the player navigates several levels of mazes, destroying creatures with bombs. In multiplayer mode, players defeat each other with bombs.
The Mega Drive/Genesis port had some differences. These differences include fewer options in multi-player, and some different music. For example, Jammin' Jungle's music in the original version was reused as the first level in Super Bomberman 4, but is entirely different in the other version.
The original Bomberman '94 was released for the Wii Virtual Console on December 2, 2006 in Japan, and was first made available outside Japan on March 23, 2009 in North America, and March 23, 2009 in Europe. Bomberman '94 was released for the Wii U Virtual Console on November 19, 2014 in Japan, and on February 2, 2017 in North America and Europe. The previous game, Bomberman '93, was made available instead when Bomberman '94 was released in Japan's Virtual Console.
Bomberman '94 was released on the Japanese PlayStation Network on July 15, 2009, for play on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It was later released in North America on June 2, 2011.
