True, but the PC Engine version has more colours and better animations. The MD version is a conversion of the PCE game. They ended up cutting some animation and colours, of course, from the Mega Drive version of the game. Thus, the PCE version is superior.
The SNES never had a conversion of it. It had its own "Super Bomberman" series, that spanned 5 games (only the first two left Japan, I think).

Good choice!
Getting a Duo system is your best option. If your step-dad won't spring for it, I would get a Core Grafx II (or a Super Grafx, if you really want one). It's the newest version of the base unit, and matches the Super CD-ROM2 add-on. You will want that add on, as it is the easiest way to turn a PC Engine into a [/img]Duo in functionality (no system cards needed).
The original CD-ROM2 add-on looks cool, but it needs a system card to function AND it has some common hardware failures (the one pictured above does not).
Here are a couple versions of the Duo:

PC Engine Duo X (same thing, but it's white and comes with a 6-button pad):
