Bombs And Bugs

I'm sure everyone of a certain age has that one obscure shareware game they remember hunching over a keyboard with their friends for hours on end with. That game they downloaded from somewhere or had on a dodgy-CD, that might not have been a famous or well-known title, but for those who played it at the right time it was their world for a while. For me that game was Jetpack and while I never played [i]Bombs and Bugs[/i] in its time I could see it being that game for others. I guess what I'm getting at is, this is probably best if it was [i]that game[/i] for you back in the day. [i]Bombs and Bugs[/i] is basically [i]Bomberman[/i] and if you want [i]Bomberman[/i] on Steam the [i]Super Bomberman Collection[/i] has you more than covered. But imagine it's the 90's and there is no official [i]Bomberman[/i] game on your platform of choice, or there is but it's too expensive, or you've never heard of [i]Bomberman[/i] and this is just something you and your friend are playing [i]because it's there[/i]. I coudl see that being a pretty good time [i]but[/i] despite it's charms it's just not as fun as Bomberman. As far as I can tell you can only lay down one bomb at a time which makes actually…

Oh, wow! This is such as blast from the past! Some of my fondest memories growing up in the 90's was playing this game with my sister sharing a single keyboard. Thank you for re-releasing this game. Instant buy! My sister and I originally played Bugs and Bombs on a CD-ROM called "100 Action Arcade Games Volume 3" published by Global Star Software. That CD also had Cliff Bleszinski's first game, Jazz Jackrabbit. (Yes, from Gears of War.) As well as one of Blizzard's first videogames made, Lost Vikings 2. (This is only Bugs and Bombs -- I simply am mentioning those other games for archival purposes.) This version on Steam in 2026 is true to original classic from 1997. It works great on Windows 11 Pro. 5/5 Stars!

Brings me back to my childhood. :) Can't wait to see if Bombs and Bugs 3.X gets a remaster.

I'm that dude the guy who wrote other review is talking about. Definitely a top childhood memory getting this game to work for a few minutes on a shareware CD. Just to have to start the whole process over again to play. I cant really explain it, but this game is like a fever dream to me. No possible way its out on Steam in 2026.
