Very few classic arcade games hold up as well as Bubble Bobble. Believe it or not, it's been thirty years since its initial release so let's pay Bub and Bob a visit and see how the years have treated them.
In Anthony's latest 8-Bit Chronicles, he elaborates on how much he loves Bubble Bobble. Like, REALLY. Dat main theme!

The Drop
A game of powerful heroes, intense strategy, and last-minute victories. Paragon early access begins March 18th and aims to open up MOBAs to the masses.
Designed by the team at Epic Games, Paragon puts a third-person twist on MOBAs with a diverse roster of heroes and tactile combat. Enter the fray and defend your base from the ever-encroaching march of the opposing team. With heart-pounding five-on-five matches, Paragon will change the way you compete on PS4.
For those that simply can’t wait until Friday, Salt and Sanctuary launches this week on PS4. With brutal 2D combat and a robust item crafting system, this gothic adventure is Ska Studios’ most ambitious project to date.
I think I might put down some cash for Paragon foudners pack. I've tried a few MOBA's but the learnign curve was jst too high for me, this looks like a solid 'noob friendly' MOBA I can get into.
definitely a fun game, never been into MOBAs before but this one caught my eye, mainly because of their Free-to-play design, every hero and card is available in game through progression and only cosmetic items are DLC. that way everyone is always on the same field.
The amount of content coming to PS4 is overwhelming. I didn't even know Paragon had early access coming this early.
So excited about Salt and Sanctuary. Two of my all-time favorite games are Dark Souls and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This game looks tailor-made for me. Throwing in co-op makes it sound all that much better. I really hope it's not disappointing.

I prefer Bubble Bobble & Double Dragon NES versions much more, but it's cool PS4 is getting the arcade versions at least.
The music was awesome.
Still love double dragon after all these yrs, remember my mum and dad giving me £1 for the arcades which was basically 10 goes. It was always dd, supersprint, op wolf, decathlon, wonderboy and ghouls and ghosts
Same here with Bubble Bobble, they used to have a cabinet at a hotel my family used to go to in Cyprus. I wasted so much time and cash on that trying to keep out of the afternoon sun.
Good times though.
Bubble bobble and bomerman. My auntie had a hotel in blackpool uk with a table top pacman and space invaders wow
A few years later, but I have fond memories of playing Snow Bros to death in Greece.
I'll definitely be buying Double Dragon 2 and Bubble Bobble later on PS4. I bought super or championship sprint on my PS3 some years ago along with MKII before they were pulled. I liked playing operation wolf too.
Played the game to bits.
Was Double Dragon III unbeatable? I remember going to Blackpool and pouring money into it to beat the last boss, which was like a clone, but we never could beat it.
Havnt played Bubble Bobble in years. Certainly looking forward to this crop of releases.

Loved this game as a kid
Played this all the time when I was young, might just have to pick it up for shits and giggle, at least it has local co-op and me and the wife can play together
