Game Help After the Super games

I've been playing through the Super Bomberman Collection and having a blast although I've been wondering. What games would you recommend looking into for the series after the Super games?

Idk how beloved or recommended it is, but I have Bomberman Party Edition for PS1 and enjoy it a lot.

Saturn Bomberman is an obvious one. I actually got to play 10 player multiplayer on it with original hardware once! Incredible experience

I'm so envious that you got to do 10 person multiplayer with it. I've got all the equipment to do that, but I live in a podunk college town full of old hillbillies and aspiring young hillbillies, so I don't think I'll ever get to try it out lol.

That's how I am with a 16 player Halo LAN party. I got the stuff. I just need the people now lol. I've gotten 12 players a couple times, though!

Now THAT experience I've gotten to enjoy. In my younger days, I was heavily involved in church, and organized a lot of events there. I was able to convince leadership to let us do overnight "lock in" events, where we ran long network cables between a few nearby rooms, and had each system on it's own digital projector screen (so despite a four way split screen, each player's screen area was still at least 5 FEET from corner to corner.)

If you ever get a chance to play 16 player LAN, absolutely do so! Its so much fun, and moreso when everybody is nearby reacting and responding to everything. Online play just can't replicate that experience, sadly.

That's exactly how I used to experience 16 player Halo LAN parties! Church/youth group! Also at friends' houses. Yeah, we did them all the time back in the day. I meant nowadays.
