A new era begins, with Bomberman Tournament!

Bomberman has been known for quite a long time now, and now he makes his return on the GBA. This time, he brings with him a new mode of play... The Quest!

In the quest, you´re playing as Bomberman himself, trying to figure out what has happened, because some meteorites fell from the sky and suddenlty there´s a castle of ice...

During your quest, you´ll have to talk to a lot of people and get lots of ´karabon´ (some Pokémon-like figures). These karabon are the key-figures, each has it´s own unique gifts/moves. Sometimes a puzzle can only be solved when using a certain karabon.

You´ll also have to fight other karabon (with your own). Of course, there´s still enough time to lay bombs/mines/underwater-bombs, etc. and to walk through dungeons, killing some bosses.

The original Bomberman is also included in the package, namely in the ´battle´-mode. You can set the number of opponents, choose from different arena´s, set some other rules (like the fishing-bonus) and you´re off to start fragging.

Finally (again) the multilinking features of Bomberman: there are 8 different arena´s you can play in, with up to 4 people at the same time. There´s also a singlepack-multilink feature available, so you don´t all need the cartridge. Until the arrival of Doom and Duke3d, I think this game will be the no.1 fraggin´ game!
