I still don’t think I’ve found a more satisfying multiplayer party experience than getting ten people in a room with two multi taps, a literal plastic tub I store in my closet filled with Saturn controllers and a bunch of drinks and playing some ten person Saturn Bomberman. Especially now that giant TVs are a thing and the massive play field and small Bomberman (and women lol) can now be seen more easily!
it’s just that good. Granted it’s rare I can find 8 other people that want to play some Bomberman with my wife and I but when it happens everyone has an absolute blast. Plus I get ten original Saturn controllers to pick from when they aren’t in use so...win win!
If you haven’t seen / heard the story of the Hudson Hi-Ten Bomberman prototype game...it’s basically the pre-cursor to Saturn Bomberman. Had HD resolution and ten person gaming in 1993 on a custom NEC board which was the basis for the PC-FX. Guess the game has been found by collectors but no release as of yet (maybe never? Who knows...)
but if you ever want to have a giant gaming party (after the pandemic. Be safe out there) and need an awesome game...this is it! Def not cheap to assemble the plethora of controllers and multi taps you need but you can never really have enough Saturn controllers can you?
curious what everyone else’s fav party games are?
