Atomic Punk is a video game released for the Game Boy in 1990 by Hudson Soft, as part of the Bomberman series. It was the first game of the series to be released on the Game Boy.

Plot

As taken from the North American manual, the only one with a written storyline:

"The peaceful world of Atomica has been invaded by radiation thieves known only as Nukies. Seeking ultimate control, these wicked villains have captured everyone who stood in thier way! The people of Atomica are doomed -- for there's no escape from the prison towers of the planet's nuclear factories. Only Atomic Punk and his father, Bomberman have the speed and strength to overcome the Nukies' wrath. Now its up to them to save their captive friends and Atomica!"

"The heroes split up and tackle the raiding army of mutants on their own turf. Atomic Punk travels the lands of Atomica, while Bomberman returns to the cavernous realm of the subterranean world. Each character has the power and resources available to blast the Nukies off Atomica and restore peace to the land."

Gameplay

Gameplay in the first mode, "Game A" is similar to other games in the series, with a few differences. Power-ups, known as panels, which are usually gained in each level and carried over from one to the next, can also be bought from a store by using GP, which is collected depending on how much time it takes to complete a level and how many blocks are destroyed. At the beginning of each round, the player decides which panels to use to complete the round. Another difference is that the linear gameplay of the original, with the player advancing levels after completing each one, was changed to implement a world map with nine locations.
