Bubble Bobble - Retrospective

Steve looks back at this childhood memories with Bubble Bobble on the Game Boy, and plays the arcade original.

Bubble Bobble is a classic. I had it on the Master System and it was 200 levels of goodness. The game had such great secrets to it despite it being simple at a glance. Love that catchy tune also.

The sequel however...was great but had game ending bugs on the Master System which meant I could never finish the damn thing. That was soul destroying.

I'm always reminded of this when I hear people complain about patches. Thank god patches exist nowadays is all I can say.

There are countless ones that weren't mentioned. Rastan. New Zealand Story. Cadash. NINJA KIDS.

Rastan Saga if you're hard enough.

I prefer the original Rastan...or, for that matter, the very rare Warrior Blade.

Rastan Saga IS the original Rastan!

And all my childhood memories come flooding back. I don't know if I should be excited or terrified for this. LOL.

shadowhaxor858d ago

Seeing how we know nothing about what this is... I'd say terrified for now.

CoffeeFueledGamer858d ago

Lol. That is a 100% accurate statement.

I own Bubble Bobble on NES, SMS, and Genesis I'd say its one of my favorites the music all though repetitive was great.

An HD remaster of this and Rainbow Islands would be quite something.
