Bomberman is an arcade-style maze-based video game developed by Hudson Soft. It was first released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum/MSX in Japan and ZX Spectrum in Europe (under the English language title Eric and the Floaters, Spanish Don Pepe Y Los Globos). In the game, a character named Bomberman wandered around a maze with enemies scattered around it, and in order to get to the next maze, he had to find a door concealed under a block, which must be blasted away with a bomb.
