intro

On Planet Bomber, Mr. Meanie (Mujoe), MechaDoc and two Hige Hige Bandits land and find themselves before a large structure.
"Ah, look! It's the legendary Crystal Tower! Let's go!"

They find four gems embedded in the tower and the four villains take them out. They begin to glow as a large creature erupts from the inside of the tower.
"Whoa! It's Crator, the legendary monster!"

"But I have the monster controller! Take that!"
Mr. Meanie throws a device at the beast, brainwashing it. He proceeds to gloat dramatically:
"Now the monster's under my control! Soon, the whole world will be mine!"

Elsewhere in the skies, White Bomber and Black Bomber receive a message from Dr. I (Dr. Ein).

"Bomberman! Listen carefully! The Meanie Gang is trying to take over the world! Mr. Meanie has unleashed Crator, the legendary monster, and stolen the crystals that concealed him in the tower! Now he's using Crator's evil power to conquer the world! You must get the crystals back before Crator destroys everything! The MeanieLand Amusement park is their secret base! Hurry, Bomberman! Hurry!"

The two set out on their mission.

been hidden in the past.
Take the KEPO to find them!
The second crystal is hidden in Samurai World!

The third crystal is hidden in the Wild West!
Hurry, Bomberman!

After trekking through a cowboy town, Bomberman wins back the third crystal and is contacted by Dr. Ein.

Bomberman!
Only one more crystal to go!
Hurry to Dino World!

after Egg Birdon

Bomberman lands in prehistoric times. After defeating the boss and collecting the last crystal, Bomberman is contacted by Dr. Ein.

Well done, Bomberman!
We have all four crystals!
Now, we can defeat Crator!

A rumbling is heard, and in the distance, Crator is seen crashing into a volcano. The jungle begins to snow over. What?! It's Crator! Why is he in this world? If his magic power is unsealed, it could be infinite! All or nothing, Bomberman! Look! The crystals are weakening his power! This is your only chance to defeat him! Well done, Bomberman! Crator has been defeated, and peace will return to the present. That Mr. Meanie and his gang have escaped to the future! [WHAT] to bring us true peace.

encountering Mujoe

You keep getting in my way, Bomberman! But the Meanie Gang is forever! Get ready, Bomberman! The world is mine! Ahahaha!

The world... is mine...

encountering MechaDoc

Not bad, Bomberman, you destroyed all of my robots, but now you haven't got a chance! Are you ready, Bomberman? This is my masterpiece!

Dated 8 July 1997, Christopher Jones (or is it "James?") gives us a sales pitch as was the norm for the comic's reviews. The only complaints it can squeeze in to its not-even-300-word review are about the 2D graphics and "outdated sounds", whatever that means.
