Atomic Bomberman Secretly Cusses Up a Storm
July 28, 2011 9:00 AM | Danny Cowan

The 1997 PC game Atomic Bomberman, aside from being one of the very worst Bombermen in existence, happens to host a number of hidden and not-safe-for-work voice samples that would easily turn the KA-rated game into an M-for-Mature sort of affair, had the ESRB been notified.
As The Cutting Room Floor notes, Atomic Bomberman shipped with a variety of voice clips and alternate takes that did not appear in the game itself. Many of the cleaner samples are still a little questionable, featuring such zingers as "Here comes Poopman!" Get to the "Filthy" category, though, and you're in for a profanity-laden treat.
It's worth noting that these samples are the work of veteran voice actors Charlie Adler and Billy West, so if you've ever wanted to be cussed out by Buster Bunny and Fry from Futurama, today's your lucky day.

Them's fighting words Danny.
There is not enough room here to prove Atomic Bomberman is the greatest multiplayer Bomberman EVER. Perhaps the fact it has an active league will convince you:

AB is the only Bomberman to successfully break from the tired grid formula. The schemes with more freedom are BETTER than the classic layout - something no other Bomberman to date has achieved.

2011 Bomberman versions still feature the grid. BLAH.
Why did AB fail? Primarily because it required multiplayer LAN play in 1997 (not TCP/IP) - 2 years before Quake 3 tried the same trick (with TCP/IP Internet). In 1997, AB was the only game that equaled Quake 1 for deathmatch competition on our office LAN.
If you can get AB network play working (tricky), endure the horrid UI, experiment with schemes & settings, you'll probably agree with me.
Bombs away.

Atomic bomberman was one of the more memorable (and fun) bomberman games... the audio was fantastic.
