 Well, I bet you haven't tried xblast *evilgrin*  It simply is great -
there are renovation bombs which I don't know from anywhere else, a
switch color and switch position extra, ...  You can do your own
extensions for it is Open Source (and even GPL!), do your own levels,
etc. etc.  :-)

 Well, Dynablaster and Bomberman (and even xblast) have the same
gameplay - but they have different extras which make the game playable
in different styles. E.g. in Bomberman you have sort of a trampolin,
teleportpads and some other nice gadgets, Dynablaster is more likely the
original - low featured version with no special extras (besides some in
single player mode...). And finally xblast - well, it's still expanding
- and that sometimes even hourly *hehehe*

 Looks great 8) And I think mine won't wrap (for slrn [1] doesn't do so
AFAIK). I just added an action replay cartridge, if you mind ;)
