eric and the floaters was the precursor of bomberman wasn't it ?
The 1st Bomberman game was released in Japan first and renamed to Eric and the Floaters for Europe.
Yeah Eric and the Floaters is indeed Bomberman - they didn't rename the game itself (it says Bomberman all over the game!), Kuma just saw fit to give it a stupid title for the box artwork - oh and wow, how weird that art was! An Indiana Jones style character stood surrounded by weird devil like creatures and not a bomb in sight.
Doesn't stop it being one of the best games ever though 
Yep, that's it!, your little man retreats pulling the cannon every time a tank reaches the barrier!....ah, memories
Yup! and if he retreats 3 times he gets to the final base, and if the tanks capture the base you get this cute little animation sequence where the enemy soldier carries the red flag up the ladder and puts it on-top of your base
I included that in my remake, every frame of it!!
Whats wrong with the gfx? They look like a 1984's MSX game.
erh that was meant in a positive way 
They are good for a 1984 game.
