Is it still worth playing?

Hudson Soft's 1997 Super Famicom game, the last of the Super Bomberman series on that console, in which Emperor Terrorin, who controls time, frees criminal Bombers from orbital prisons. White Bomber, Black Bomber and their Louie companions have to defeat them before facing Terrorin. The single player game is a map of choices. Its 100 single screen levels open portals to others when cleared, so you choose your own route, and different routes mean different bosses, with two endings. Those stages draw on the four earlier Super Bomberman games, plus a fifth set. In battle mode there are ten default maps and ten playable characters, nine of them single player bosses, and a create a character mode spends points on power ups earned in single player. A campaign that branches and a battle mode fed by it are still reason enough to come back to it today.
