It wouldn't receive a home release until it saw ports for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as part of Hamster's Arcade Archives lineup on April 8, 2021.

Saboten Bombers is a single screen platform game in which the main characters are anthropomorphic cacti named Wanpi (1P) and Tsuupi (2P).

Because players' bombs tend to move fast and bounce off walls during the game, throwing them carelessly are tantamount to suicide.

The game consists of over 100 levels with every tenth stage featuring bosses, and also a versus mode in which the player competes against the computer-controlled opponent.

In Japan, Game Machine listed Saboten Bombers on their May 15, 1992, issue as being the twelfth most popular table arcade unit at the time.
