Is it still worth playing?
A multiplayer game for the Dreamcast in the Bomberman series, with combat in a maze using stationary timed explosives to attack and damage the map. Its online servers were shut down in 2003, leaving offline multiplayer. There are several game modes. Survival Rule is the original battle mode where the last player standing wins. Hyper Bomber Rule has you collect three target panel power ups and go to the center of the map, where a large explosion eliminates everything except you. Submarine Rule is almost identical to Battleship, but in real time, with a bomb that moves to the adjacent spot on the other side once its timer runs out. In Panel Paint Rule you color as many squares as possible with your own explosions, and all squares become brown when you die. Each mode is fought against a different group of opponents and its boss. Rules that change every arena still keep the old mazes fresh.
