Bomberman '93 is the second installment of the Bomberman TurboGrafx-16 trilogy, released in 1992. It was followed in 1993 by Bomberman '94.

Black Bomberman and six accomplices steal seven vital chips from the pan-galactic bureau's mother computer, shutting it down. The pan-galactic federal police sends emergency order to its NO.1 super detective, Bomber Cop (better known as White Bomberman), to give chase and retrieve them.

The game was re-released for the Virtual Console on both the Nintendo Wii and Wii U, along with Bomberman '94 and Bomberman Hero. It's also available as one of the games in the TurboGrafx Mini.


This game provides examples of:

  • Badass Biker: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Bombers appear riding bikes before Black Bomberman is faced.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: Bomberman apparently befriends the bosses after defeating them (he's seen playing or having a snack with them), unlike most games where they die upon defeat.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: The setting of the game is the six-planet Magellan solar system, which never made another direct appearance in the franchise. It seems Hudson Soft was transitioning the storyline away from Earth, but hadn't yet settled on Planet Bomber or the Bomber Nebula.
  • Final Boss: The last foe you face in this game is Black Bomberman.
  • Humongous Mecha: During his boss fight, Black Bomberman pilots a giant robot.
