(Title corrected by a user) I mean, Mappy has a “lore”. Dig Dug has a “lore”. But I can’t seem to find Bomberman lore.

    I think you meant “Does Bomberman have a lore?”

    With a post titled “Bomberman has a lore?”, I was expecting the post to be either surprised that Bomberman has a lore, or surprised that someone would have said Bomberman has a lore.

    Especially when paired with the picture of a game’s boxart, I thought that this post was about something lore-related on the box or in its artwork.

    As to where to find the lore, I’d check the manuals, including manuals from other regions. For a lot of the 90s, the manuals were the best (and occasionally only) place to find lore!

      They probably speak a Romance language as their primary language, as that’s how one would ask the question in most cases.

      Non English speaker here. Is “Bomberman has lore” correct for the meaning of being surprised it has lore?

      I’ve been speaking English daily for at least 15 years and I still have no idea what’s correct, just what “feels right”. I feel like a flesh LLM

        “Bomberman has lore?” as a question would generally be some sort of surprise or suggestion that it goes against expectations.

        “Donald Trump is a young man.”

        “Donald Trump is a young man?” – response to a statement that went against expectations.

        “Is Donald Trump a young man?” – neutral, general question (if additional context or tone is absent)
