Bubble Bobble

[ Taito Corporation 1989 ]

Description: Adventure

Bubble Bubble is a two player game originally created for the Commodore 64 computer in the 1980s. You are a green (player one) or blue (player two) Bubble-blowing Dragon Alien. Your mission is simple, save the Princess dragons.

Now this task might seem simple, but it's anything but that. This game contains over 100 levels, including a dozen or so "secret levels" which you must complete to get the Happy Ending. Through your adventure you blow bubbles at the bad guys, and once they are trapped you have to pop them before they escape. This is done by jumping at the Bubbled-Baddie with force. Note: this is the only way to kill the bad guys! After they die they will turn into wonderful treats for you to munch on (to gain points, to build up enough points to get an extra life). After all bad guys are killed, you advance to the next stage.

   

Beating the game with a friend is more satisfying than beating it alone. This game was so popular that it sprung at least 2 sequels (Bubble Bobble 2 & Rainbow Islands) as well as many re-releases for various platforms (DOS, Nintendo, Gameboy, etc)
