Atomic Punk on Game Boy - Advertisement Review

I know what you're thinking; boy does that kid look stupid. And that catch phrase, how stupid do they think we are? But this advert is more than just kids with multicolored hair. No, this commercial is about getting "bombarded by three blockbuster games in one!" At least, that's what the first line of the description says. You may think this is nothing more than a commercial for Atomic Punk, but apparently this is a commercial for three games from Hudson Soft. "First, blast into action as Atomic Punk" the commercial states. Then the advertisement continues, "Next, dive deep into the planet as Bomberman." Okay, so far so good. So what's the third game? Unfortunately we will never know, because this commercial only mentions those two games. Instead of talking about the third game, this advert spends the rest of the time addressing the crazy (and totally lame) story of Atomic Punk!

Speaking of Bomberman, apparently Atomic Punk is part of the Bomberman franchise. One look at the very, very small screen shots will prove that this is nothing more than a game about dropping off bombs and blowing stuff up. In fact, the pictures on the advert show a character that looks exactly like the cute little Bomberman we've grown to know and love. He doesn't have a Mohawk or crazy boots, he is wearing the same old spacesuit that he still wears in new installments of the game (unless you're talking about the recent Xbox 360 Bomberman, that character looks even worse than this Atomic Punk).

So if this game stars Bomberman then why is there a picture of this crazy bomb toting tweener? Certainly they didn't think this character was cooler than the tried and true Bomberman hero. With those stupid gloves and boots he looks more like John Travolta in Battlefield Earth than our cute and cuddly Bomberman. What makes this even worse is that he has a half dozen colors in his Mohawk ... despite the fact that he's starring in a black and white video game! And seriously, this is the early 1990s, were punks even sporting Mohawks in that era?? If he really wanted to be punk he would have put a close pin through his lip. Nevermind the bullocks, here's the worst Bomberman character of all time!
