Maps used by the game are in the form of 'scheme files' (.sch filename extension). The map editor is a simple interface, showing the map, dotted with different colors (0 to 9) to represent player spawns. A function called DENSITY chooses how 'dense' the collection of breakable items are.

The Powerup Manager chooses the list of powerups to be included, how often, whether they can be destroyed and what happens when two conflicting powers are picked (such as Bomb Splooge versus Glove).

Atomic Bomberman is Interplay's valiant effort at bringing Hudson Soft's classic Bomberman to the 1990s. Richard Greenhill at The Games Domain has the lowdown on how this sequel stacked up against Hudson Soft's own games: 'For those unaware of what Bomberman actually is, this is what the original game was all about. There was no storyline, no plot. Redbox hack admin screen and diagnostics for all. There was no progression into later levels, no beginning and end, no sense of achievement. Each and every game starts on exactly the same ground as the last.
