Bomberman Fantasy Land is the biggest amusement station in the glaxy. It was built by Dr.Ein with the hope that it would bring peace to the Universe; He is also the man who created Bomberman. Of all the events held at the Fantasy Land amusement center, the "Fantasy Race" held every 4 years is the biggest. Racers from all over compete for prizes and fame. Bomberman received an invitation to the 10th Anniversary Race but was reluctant to participate. However, upon finding the name Burglar among the names of the contestants, he now had no choice but to participate.

Barebones listing - but it's got cheats!
Official US PlayStation Magazine (Volume 2 Issue 7)
BFR is a simple, entertaining diversion, especially for the younger crod that appears to be its target audience. For the rest of us, it's a decent rental or a fair multiplayer choice, but little more.
Dated April 1999, reviewer Joe Rybicki praises the game's unique qualities, but its technical incompetence and easy difficulty let it down. Image from the Internet Archive.
