What is bluebomb?
Bluebomb is a long-running personal website at bluebomb — not a company or a product. Its own pages describe it as a personal project that grew larger than its owner expected, with the homepage acting mainly as a dated update log and a place to leave an email address.
The visible material is a mix of personal notes and game-related reference pages. The homepage excerpt mentions sections such as boss guides, endings, item shops and sprites, alongside a Japan section and a "Holly" page. In practice, that suggests the site is most useful as an archive for players looking up specific game details, and as a time capsule of an older style of hand-built fan site.
What you can expect
- Dated news entries spanning roughly 2009 to 2021, with gaps of years between them.
- Contact by email, with the address written in an obfuscated form on the page.
- A request to ask permission before reusing the site's material elsewhere.
- References to long-gone services such as Meebo, which the owner used for a chat box.
Who it suits
Someone searching for a particular game guide or sprite page may find it useful, especially if a search engine points there directly. Anyone expecting regular updates, a shop, or a support channel will be disappointed; the most recent entry is from 2021 and openly says the owner is unsure what to do with the site.
If you want to use something from the site, the sensible next step is to read the page's own permission note and email the address listed there before republishing anything.
How can I contact the owner of bluebomb.com?
The site lists one direct contact method: email [email protected] (the page writes it as cap --AT-- bluebomber.com, with the instruction to replace --AT-- with @). The owner has repeatedly asked visitors to email, including in the 2021 note saying to write if you remember the site from its earlier days.
H3 Practical notes
- Send a plain-text message with a clear subject line; say how you know the site or what you're asking about.
- If your question concerns reusing material from the site, ask for permission first. The 2009 note explicitly requests that visitors get permission before using anything from the site elsewhere.
- Don't expect a quick reply. The update history shows long gaps between posts, including a nearly two-year break and a return after several years.
H3 If email doesn't work
There is no other contact channel named on the page. Older chat options mentioned in past updates, such as Meebo, are no longer relevant. If you need to reach someone connected to a site like this and email fails, look for a newer page or profile the owner may have moved to, rather than assuming the old address is dead. As a comparison point, long-running personal sites often keep a single contact address while their chat or social links change; Internet Archive can help you check whether an older version of the page listed a different address, though it won't give you a current one.
What video game guides and resources are available on bluebomb.com?
Bluebomb.com is a long-running personal fan site, not a commercial guide publisher. Its game-related material is organized around a handful of topics, and the site owner has openly said he is unsure what to keep doing with it, so treat the content as archival rather than actively maintained.
The page evidence points to these areas:
- Boss guides — walkthrough-style help for specific boss fights, most likely from the games the site was built around.
- Endings — documentation of game endings, useful if you want to check what different outcomes look like without replaying.
- Holly — a section tied to a character or game named Holly; the site is old enough that this could refer to a specific title's character page.
- Japan — notes or material related to Japanese releases, versions, or game culture.
- Item shop — reference information about in-game shops and what they stock.
- Sprites — ripped or collected sprite images, the kind of asset fan sites traditionally hosted for others to view or reuse.
The site also includes a page of link-back buttons in various sizes, which tells you it was built in the era of webrings and personal homepage badges. The owner asks visitors to request permission before reusing material, which matters most for the sprites if you plan to repost them.
If you are looking for a specific boss or ending, the practical next step is to search the site directly by game or character name rather than browsing, since the navigation reflects a decades-old hand-built layout. For broader, currently maintained coverage of the same kinds of games, larger community wikis are usually a better first stop.
Can I use material from bluebomb.com on my own website?
No—not without asking first. The site's own notice states: "Please ask for permission to use any of the material here on your own website." That applies to the sprites, item shop graphics, boss guides, endings text and any other content hosted there.
What that means in practice
- Personal, non-published use (saving a sprite for your own reference, printing a guide for yourself) is a different situation from republishing.
- Republishing on your site—even with a credit line or a link back—still requires permission under the stated terms. Crediting is not a substitute for asking.
- Link-back buttons are a separate case: the site has offered buttons "of various sizes you can use to link back to me," which suggests linking is welcome. Linking to a page is not the same as copying its content.
- Fan projects, wikis and archives are the most common place this comes up, and they are exactly what the notice targets. Ask before uploading anything.
How to ask
The site lists a contact address in the form cap --AT-- bluebomber.com, with the instruction to replace --AT-- with @. Write a short message that says what you want to use, where it will appear, whether it is commercial, and whether you will credit the source. That gives the owner everything needed to say yes or no quickly.
If you get no reply, treat that as a no and build your page around your own screenshots, your own writing, or links out to the original pages. For comparison, some long-running fan sites publish explicit reuse terms—see Starmen.Net for how a community site in a similar niche handles credit and submissions.
What is the history of bluebomb.com?
bluebomb.com is a long-running personal fan site, not a commercial product. Its own front page frames it as a project that "started as a personal project" and "has grown to be larger than I ever expected," with a note in August 2009 that it had "been around for almost a decade now." That puts its origins around the late 1990s or 2000, and it has stayed online, in some form, for roughly two decades since.
What the site actually contains
The page evidence points to game-related reference material rather than news or reviews: boss guides, endings, item shop information, and sprites, with a Japan section and a "holly" section. This is the kind of hand-built resource that was common on personal sites in the 2000s — useful to players looking up specific details, and dependent on one person's notes and scans rather than a content team.
The site also carried a chat box via Meebo so visitors could talk to the owner when he was online, and offered link-back buttons in various sizes for people who wanted to link to it from their own pages.
A dated update log
The homepage doubles as a personal diary, with dated entries that trace the site's later life:
- 2009: The owner says he is unsure what to keep doing with the site but will "keep it going in some way," and asks for permission before anyone reuses material.
- 2011: Almost two years pass without an update; he returns to Meebo and adds link buttons. A separate entry marks what would have been his sister's 25th birthday and mentions a visitor from Germany.
- 2012: He notes new MacBook Pros and removes the Meebo chat box after Meebo was discontinued, saying a replacement might come later.
- 2021: The most recent entry admits "it's been a while," says a couple of irrelevant things were removed, and asks readers to email if they "still remember me from back in the day."
What this means in practice
If you arrive looking for an actively maintained guide, expect gaps: the chat box is gone, updates are years apart, and the owner himself says he has "no clue what to do with this site." If you arrive out of nostalgia or because you need a specific sprite, boss guide or item shop detail, the older material is the reason the site exists.
One practical step: if you want to reuse anything from it, honour the standing request on the page and ask for permission first — the contact address is given as cap --AT-- bluebomber.com, with the --AT-- replaced by @. For broader context on the era of personal game sites, archives such as the Internet Archive can show how pages like this looked when they were actively updated.
Are there any recent updates on bluebomb.com?
No. The most recent update shown on bluebomb.com is dated Monday, November 15, 2021. In that note the owner says they removed a few things that were no longer relevant, admits having "no clue what to do with this site," and asks anyone who remembers the site from "back in the day" to email them. Nothing on the page indicates activity after that date.
The site reads as a long-running personal fan project rather than a maintained resource. The visible material points to game-related content — boss guides, endings, an item shop, sprites, and a section labeled "holly japan" — plus an email address for contact. Earlier dated notes from 2009, 2011 and 2012 discuss site housekeeping, a Meebo chat box, link-back buttons, and a request to ask permission before reusing material. That pattern suggests the owner has kept the site online mainly for archival reasons.
If you came for a specific guide or sprite set, treat it as a static archive and expect some links or embedded tools (such as the old chat box) to be broken. For anything current, email is the only contact route given. If you want to check whether a page has changed since your last visit, compare it against an archived copy rather than waiting for a news post. For related fan documentation and game reference material, GameFAQs and The Cutting Room Floor are more actively maintained.
