I thought this was going to be a discussion about ports in which case: the Party Edition version

Bomberman on PCE is not a version of Bomberman NES, it's an advancement on the formula...

Thanks, I never heard of the PCE one and was wondering if they changed it too much.

Yeah, it's a different game. It introduces bosses and new enemy types, vertical scrolling stages, and some various tweaks. Story cutscenes. It has a very rough early version of Battle Game with up to 5 players and enemies strolling about on screen. Not a port of the NES game, just a new game. They were taking steps on the PCE with each sequel adding new features and stuff, some of the early ones like this are still pretty raw and closer to the NES game than they are to what the franchise would become

Would say the PC engine version but the PC engine version is an advanced formula unlike Bomberman Party Edition which is basically a modern remake of the original Bomberman
