It's Bomberman... for your TurboGrafx-16. It even got ported onto some other systems in Europe as Dynablaster.

Special Select Room

Finally, once the intro cutscene appears, press and hold (while keeping the other buttons held) Run to be taken to a combination level select and powerup toggle.

Unused Graphic

Black Bomberman sliding. It is used in the European-exclusive Amiga & Atari ST ports however.

Unused Music

Music number: 23
What appears to be an alternate boss theme. Hudson must've been quite fond of this track, as they would dust it off 5 years later and use it as the boss theme in Super Bomberman 3.

Music number: 24
Another boss-y track that would go on to be used in Super Bomberman 3, this time as the final boss theme.

Music number: 25
A remix of the title screen theme from the NES game! It could have been meant for this game's title screen, or perhaps the credits since it about matches the length of the used credits music.
