Quoting: KlaasI've known the concept for years, but the name always baffles me, because it is called Bacon-Zahl (i.e. Bacon number) in Germany.

I was first introduced to it by an ad on Cartoon Network that suggested that you could connect most things on the channel back to Velma from Scooby-Doo. It took me a while to stop associating the concept with that character, haha!

Quoting: whizseIsn't it obvious? Raised by wolves.

Hahaha!

I thought that was pretty obvious since his favourite movie is Dances With Wolves.......

Sadly the wolf den was located in Bomont where dancing is forbidden!

...which neatly takes us back to Kevin Bacon. So can mr Six-degrees be connected to Bomberman? His only video game credit seems to be You Don't Know Jack: Volume 2...

Totally!

Kevin Bacon appeared in You Don't Know Jack: Volume 2. One of the various publishers of the You Don't Know Jack series was Majesco. Between 2002 and 2004, Majesco also published four Bomberman games - Bomberman Generation, Bomberman Jetters (a game based on an alternate-continuity anime series that wasn't released outside of Japan, even though this game was), and both versions of Bomberman Max 2. Therefore, Kevin Bacon can indeed be connected to Bomberman.

I am impressed, but not in the least surprised!
