NES WORLD Forum - Whoa...Bomberman is actually Lode Runner!

burnambill333 Ex Member	Whoa...Bomberman is actually Lode Runner! 15. Dec 2006 at 04:08 Did you know that Bomberman is actually Lode Runner? This is something I just found out. Check this out: Ending of Bomberman Screenshot of Lode Runner On a sidenote...Lode Runner is actually a Broderbund game, not a Hudson Soft game.

Dec 2006 at 22:31 There are 50 stages to Bomberman. I think the manual implies that the game is beatable. I've beaten Bomberman, but thought that message implied another "Bomberman" sequel. I haven't actually played Lode Runner, but noticed the Bombermen people in screenshots before. Now the circle is complete.

Not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure Hudson developed Lode Runner, and licenced it to Broderbund...might solve that little riddle...

Dec 2006 at 01:18 When you beat the famicom version of Bomberman, it explicitly states (in English) that Bomberman is Loderunner, so there's no second-guessing about it. I don't know why they changed the ending of the US release into a pseudo-mystery cliffhanger.

This is a big problem with the video game industry, when a publisher slaps their name all over a title with no indication of the developer. That would be like saying Paramount created Godfather in the movie industry.

On a side note, who developed Resident Evil 2 for the N64?

Hudson developed the NES version, even though Brøderbund published Douglas E. Smith's development on the Apple II, PC, & Commodore 64..
