Is it still worth playing?

You guide Bomberman, a bomb production robot working in an underground complex, through top down maze levels to escape and reach the surface, where he becomes human. It is an action game first released in Japan for the Nintendo Entertainment System in December 1985. Each level has enemies and randomly generated destructible blocks. His bombs take out enemies and demolish blocks: a bomb explodes after a short delay and sends jets of fire in all four directions. To finish a level the player defeats all the enemies and finds the exit concealed under a block. Hidden inside blocks are power-up panels that boost the bombing and add extra perks. Setting bombs in a maze is still a plan that rewards patience and timing.
