    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a free bomberman clone to play at LANs. It would be nice if it supported a lot of players. My friends and I were just trying to think of some good LAN games and we thought bomberman would be awesome. Also, other suggestions for free LAN games would be appreciated too.

    Yeah I was considering doing that. I just thought that an actual pc bomberman might be a little easier to set up.

    ... What? Bomberman?

    If you're LANning, L4D is the way to go! Or you could go for old school favourites, I suppose. D2? I've never actually seen anyone play Bomberman at a LAN party...

    I was going to say zsnes also, though never used it over net or lan.

    the old school bomberman's on genisis and snes are the best anyways, though bomberman world on 64 was quite good.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. I do agree that L4D is amazing... we play it quite a lot. We are just looking for new games to play, and I do love me some bomberman. Also, some people at the LANs do not have the most amazing computers. I am still considering the emulators, but I was hoping to find a bomberman with more than 4 or 5 players. I found an old pc game called atomic bomberman that supports up to 10 but its got some wierd graphics and its not free. I swear that I had heard of a free bomberman clone but I can't find it anywhere.
