   It is.  I haven't had the privilege of playing Saturn Bomberman.  If I   
   had, I wouldn't have had the privilege of playing it with ten other   
   people.  I enjoy Atomic Bomberman for the wacky sound effects and some   
   of the diseases really take it over the top.  It's nothing entirely new   
   to the Bomberman series, it is just better executed than, say, DC or   
   XBLA Bomberman gameplay wise.

   Isn't that the one where you fight off germs in a body, sort of an   
   unlicensed "Inner Space"?

   Man, you have no idea... wait you probably do know how badly I want to   
   play my light gun games, from the SMS through the Dreamcast, on my 40" RPTV.
