Play Bomberman GB 3 Online

Bomberman GB 3 came out for the Game Boy in 1997, developed by Hudson Soft. It was one of those late-era releases that really pushed what the handheld could do, with more detailed sprites and a surprising amount of content for a cartridge. While it wasn't the first Bomberman on the system, it felt like a more complete package, especially if you had friends to play with.

You control one of several Bombermen, each with unique abilities; the ninja dashes quickly, while the robot lays bombs in a straight line. Your goal is to clear each screen of enemies and obstacles by placing bombs to create explosions, uncovering power-ups like increased blast radius or extra bombs along the way. The game progresses through themed worlds, each with its own environmental puzzles and enemy types, requiring you to think about bomb placement and timing. The pacing is methodical but can get frantic when screens fill with foes, and the difficulty ramps up steadily without feeling unfair. It feels satisfying to master a stage's layout and clear it with a well-planned chain of explosions.
