Super Bomberman 2 is a videogame developed by Hudson Soft and released for the Super Nintendo in 1994. This entry in the series saw the introduction of recurring rival bomber bosses with unique characteristics such Pretty Bomber and Magnet Bomber. In the single player mode, Bomberman must make his way through themed mazes collecting power-ups, obliterating enemies and obstacles, and triggering switches to reach the next stage. The real playtime, however, came from the multiplayer - for two or four players - and the many arenas available for play. Super Bomberman 2 was the second and final installment of Bomberman for the SNES in North America - the other three Super Bomberman games (3,4,5) were passed over for release.

Check out this interesting hybrid from 2006! The Visteon Dockable Entertainment System is a portable DVD player with one additional feature - it also plays Game Boy Advance games! And unlike some other products brought to market, Visteon actually managed to secure a Nintendo partnership. If you're wondering why you never saw this before in stores, it's because it was sold at car dealerships at the not-so-low price of $1299. The wireless controller that came with the player was originally a multi-purpose set-top box controller (which is why it looks so out of place next to the system).

The Pixel Dreams Arcade has a new high score!!



Patrick Landers further cemented his place at the top of the pyramid with a new score of 864,050 on Q*Bert! Well played!

What would a rarities case be without the first console version of the perennial puzzler, Tetris? This version of Tetris on the NES, the first and arguably better of the two, was released by Atari's home division, Tengen. It features two-player head-to-head gameplay that is unfortunately missing from the later NES release by Nintendo. As a result of the legal turmoil surrounding the rights to Tetris, Atari was ordered to stop selling copies of the game. And so, just 4 weeks after its 1989 release, Tengen Tetris was discontinued, recalled...and became a collector's item. 

Monetary donations are always appreciated as there are significant costs involved in managing, maintaining, building and displaying a collection as large as the NVM archive.

Even if you can't help monetarily, we are always looking for games and consoles to add to our library. Due to the highly interactive nature of the museum, systems go down all the time and are in need of replacement or repair parts. If you have any unused consoles, computers or games around the house, please drop them off at the museum or email us at [email protected] and we'll give them a good home!
