About Dyna Blaster (Bomberman)
The two names on this page belong to one game. Hudson Soft developed and published Bomberman for the TurboGrafx-16, known in Japan as the PC Engine, releasing it in Japan on December 7, 1990, and in North America in April 1991. It is an entry in the Bomberman series and a reimagining of the very first game. When the game came to home computers in Europe, Ubi Soft published the Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS versions under the name Dyna Blaster. DOS.Zone uses both names in its title, which is why this page does too.
Each computer version has its own changes compared with the TurboGrafx-16 original. Actionamics developed the Amiga version, Hurricane made the MS-DOS version, and SystemSoft made an X68000 version for Japan in 1991. The Amiga and MS-DOS releases first appeared in France in January 1992, with a wider European release later that year, and a Windows version followed in Japan in 2002. Tsukasa Kuwahara designed the game, Shigeki Fujiwara directed it without a credit, and Jun Chikuma composed the music.
It is an action maze game with single-player and multiplayer modes, and it is also classed as a party game. Critics received it well on the TurboGrafx-16 and again on home computers.
How it runs in your browser
DOS.Zone runs the MS-DOS release, and it does so with js-dos, its open-source DOSBox build that works inside a browser tab. Pressing Play opens the game’s DOS.Zone page in a new tab, the emulated PC starts, and the game loads from DOS.Zone’s own copy of the files. That means no installer, no files to find yourself and no account. DOS.Zone doesn’t run ads. The listing shows a five-star average from 45 player reviews.
There is no online play. The original includes multiplayer, but how many people the DOS version lets share one computer isn’t confirmed, so check the game’s own setup screens before inviting friends over. The page doesn’t mention saving either.
Controls and devices
Expect to use a keyboard. The DOS.Zone page doesn’t list the controls for this game, so look for them in the game’s menus or on its DOS.Zone page. The site offers virtual on-screen controls on phones, but Dyna Blaster was made for a keyboard and plays better on a desktop or laptop.
Who it’s for
Dyna Blaster suits anyone who remembers the European name from Amiga or DOS days, and Bomberman fans who want to see an early version of the series without a TurboGrafx-16. For another game to play with friends on one computer, Worms Armageddon also runs on DOS.Zone and supports local multiplayer.
Is Dyna Blaster (Bomberman) Free, Safe and Official?
Is Dyna Blaster the same game as Bomberman?
Yes. Dyna Blaster is the name Ubi Soft used in Europe for the home computer versions of Hudson Soft’s 1990 Bomberman, including the MS-DOS version on DOS.Zone.
Can I play Bomberman online with friends?
Not on this listing. The game has a multiplayer mode, but DOS.Zone offers no online play for it, and the number of players the DOS version supports on one PC isn’t confirmed here. Check the game’s menus.
Can I play Dyna Blaster for free on a phone?
It’s free on DOS.Zone, and the site offers virtual on-screen controls for phones. The game was made for a keyboard, though, so a computer is the better fit.
