:''For the [[MS-DOS]], [[Commodore Amiga]], and [[TurboGrafx-16]] game see [[Dyna Blaster]]. For the [[Nintendo DS]] game see [[Bomberman (Nintendo DS)]].''

The '''Bomberman''' series may be as well know to video game players as [[:Category:Mega Man|Mega Man]], [[:Category:Castlevania|Castlevania]], and even [[:Category:Mario|Super Mario]]. It has certainly been around as long.  And like many of these other series, the first version of the game is a rapid departure from what later games in the series would ultimately become, but the series as a whole is indebted to its roots for being a successful game in the first place.

As a gift to the platform that Bomberman started on, Hudson Soft released an updated version for the MSX called '''Bomberman Special''' that was updated to reflect the Famicom version.  It was five years before Bomberman was followed up by two sequels, the first of which was actually made for the [[TurboGrafx-16]] in 1990.  Outside of Japan, it was known as [[Dyna Blaster]], while in Japan it shared the same name as its predecessor even though it was a tremendously enhanced game.  The second sequel was a proper NES sequel entitled [[Bomberman II]].  Subsequent releases on the TurboGrafx-16 and the series debut on the [[Super Nintendo]] lead to the definition of the White Bomber character as a mainstay hero of the video game realm.  In 2004, [[Nintendo]] gave Bomberman the distinction of being included in they Famicom Mini, and Classic NES lines of [[Game Boy Advance]] conversions.  Hudson Soft rereleased the game on the GBA along with Bomberman II as the first volume in their Hudson Best Collection, published only in Japan.
