Neo Bomberman^[b] is an action-mazearcadevideo game developed by Produce! and published by Hudson Soft exclusively for the Neo Geo MVS on May 1, 1997. It is one of two games in the Bombermanfranchise that was released for the Neo Geoplatform, the first being Panic Bomber, and the only one to retain its traditional top-down gameplay.^[3] It was only released for the Neo Geo MVS (arcade) and has not received a home console release to date. It was also the last original Bomberman title to be released for arcades until Konami's Bombergirl in 2018.

XGBoost is an optimized distributed gradient boosting library designed to be highly efficient, flexible and portable. It implements machine learning algorithms under the Gradient Boosting framework. XGBoost provides a parallel tree boosting (also known as GBDT, GBM) that solve many data science problems in a fast and accurate way. Installation on Windows was not as straightforward. I am sharing what worked for me in case it might help others. I describe how to install for the Anaconda Python distribution, but it might work as-is for other Python distributions. In order to install and use XGBoost with Python you need three software on your windows machine.

In Neo Bomberman, the plot revolves around White Bomberman and Black Bomberman along with many other combatants gathering together for the Bomberman Tournament before Professor Bagura appears in a mobile fortress to spoil the tournament and kidnaps the combatants by putting them into cages and as a result, both White and Black Bomberman set out to rescue their friends and stop Bagura alongside Atomic Bomber, a new creation under his command. The game bears similarity with Super Bomberman 4 for Super Nintendo Entertainment System, as it was developed by most of the same team.

Gameplay[edit]

Neo Bomberman is an action-maze game that plays similarly like other games in the Bomberman franchise. In this, players take control of the titular characters with the main objective of destroying all of the monsters filling the playfield by placing bombs. Beating all the monsters will open a level's gate and lead players to the next area.

Such items include things which increase the amount of bombs that can be placed at one time, the range or the bomb explosions, or the player's speed. There are also items for passing through Soft Blocks and bombs, for kicking and throwing bombs, and to make bombs remote controlled or pierce multiple blocks at once. Later levels also introduces more elements such as rescuing other Bomberman characters – who will then aid the player for the rest of the level – and enemies that can be ridden or driven after defeating them.

The game allows up to two players to play through the single-player campaign cooperatively, but like most other entries, there is also a battle mode. In battle mode, a player can select one of ten different characters and face off against up to three computer-controlled opponents for five rounds in four different arenas.^[4] Like the story mode, the player can destroy Soft Blocks to uncover items to help them along. Should a second player join in, the game will switch to a one-on-one battle mode and the winner of the match will continue the game from there.
