Bomberman
Maze explosion game
Bomberman is a maze-based video game franchise where players navigate grid-like arenas, placing bombs to destroy obstacles and opponents.
The strategic gameplay involves trapping enemies while avoiding your own explosions.
First released in 1983, the series became iconic for its multiplayer battles: We spent hours playing Bomberman at sleepovers.
A bomberman is also any character in this style of game.
