DESCRIPTION

Bubble Bobble is a one or two-player game in which players guide a pair of running, jumping, bubble-shooting dinosaurs around 100 screens of non-scrolling platform action. When a bubble makes contact with a monster, the monster floats upward. To kill the enclosed creature, thereby revealing an item for bonus points, players must pop the bubble. Although a spawn of Chack'n Pop, Bubble Bobble is an original creation. Gameplay is simplistic in design, but nicely balanced, and the graphics are colorfully clean. The music is repetitive, but not a deterrent for gamers looking for a smooth, enjoyable challenge. The game generated numerous sequels and spin-offs, including Rainbow Islands — The Story Of Bubble Bobble 2 (1987). ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
