Bomberman Users Battle (ボンバーマン ユーザーズバトル) is a limited edition release of Bomberman for the PC Engine seemingly for demonstration purposes. Approximately only 1,000 copies of the game were produced, of which were presumably used in demo kiosks, and some were distributed at tournaments hosted by Hudson Soft.

Gameplay

Bomberman Users Battle features only the multiplayer Battle mode from Bomberman. The goal is to defeat the other players with bombs (all players start each round with one bomb and a two-tile blast radius) and be the last player standing, winning a set number of victories to win the match. This game has no support for computer-controlled players, but if there are less than 5 players participating, then the stage will also feature enemies. Only Bomb Ups and Fire Ups can be found in soft blocks, though Skulls can also be found if Users Battle 2 is selected at the title screen.

As this is a multiplayer-only game, a PC Engine Sentou Multi Tap is required to play.

Items

	Bomb Up
	Increases the number of bombs Bomberman can place by one, up to a maximum of 10.
	Fire Up
