NES Works #050: Lode Runner & Raid on Bungeling Bay
🕑 Added 2019-06-26 20:00:00 +0000 UTCYou know, I enjoyed producing the Virtual Boy Works series, but this episode was a relief and a genuine pleasure to work on. With its weird tech and short life, Virtual Boy amounted to a little archipelago of video game history, with only thin and tenuous links to the larger medium. And then on NES, you have these games, so rich in history and context. What a difference.

Wasn't it more that the (NES) design of Bomberman was based on the robot design from NES Lode Runner than the other way around? From what I remember the NES version of Bomberman was somewhat treated as a prequel to Lode Runner because of its ending.
