The US box art for the NES bomberman aside (every single time I see it, I confuse it for the NES Metroid game), the original game doesn't seem to have whatever style this is. Apparently the NES game is a port of an even older game which, from what I can tell, involved a man in a hat blowing up happy balloons.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
