Lode Runner
The NES version, developed by Hudson Soft, marked the first appearance of Bombermen as the opposing robots. The end screen to "Bomberman" for the NES notes that the original White Bomberman has turned human and hints at his appearance in another game, with the Lode Runner behind him. In the Japanese version, the reference is more direct: "Congratulations - Bomber Man becomes Runner - See you again in Lode Runner".
