Wikipedia tells me that the North American release of this was glitched, where a boss did not spawn correctly, meaning players couldnt progress (a staple that both of my own games would succumb to, lol).

Please do not bring political discussion to the rest of the site, or you will be removed.

Thanks.

The legendary company behind the game, Taito, filled its games with all manner of secrets, and challenges, and Bubble Bobble was no exception.

Most people are familiar with the original, but not a lot of people are aware of the sheer number of games in the Bubble Bobble series.

The main characters from Bubble Bobble, would also spin-off into several other arcade classics, still retaining the Bubble Bobble subtitle, although introducing radically different play styles.

In fact, the numbering in this series is actually more complicated than the Wonderboy series at first glance, but below is a quick overview of most of the titles in the series and how they all connect.

Of course, its possible Ive missed a few, so if anyone sees any notable omissions feel free to add any additional details to fill in any blanks The following are grouped in series categories rather than strictly chronological, just to get a sense of the 3 main chapters to the entire Bubble Bobble saga.

Now, it is beginning of a fantastic story Lets make a journey to the cave of monsters Good luck.

The basic gameplay elements are introduced here, where 2 players can take control of Bub and Bob, trapping enemies in bubbles, grabbing fruit and clearing the screen to progress all the way through 100 stages The game is littered with secrets and several different endings, and has been ported to many different systems over the years.

Interestingly, a lot of the enemies that are introduced in this game, actually come from an older Taito game (more on that at the end of this section), and one of the enemies is even an Invader from Taitos classic Space Invaders.

A lot of improvements were made to the basic gameplay, brand new enemies and bosses introduced, and much more detailed backgrounds (for 8-bit standards).

Apparently, the main characters here are Cubby and Rubby (descendants of Bub and Bob) and they can float through the stage somewhat by holding down the fire button.

This time, Robby (presumably another relative) The screen scrolls in this one, to accommodate the lower resolution Hooray.

Colourful graphics which were abundant in early-mid 90s arcade titles really capture the sense of fun.

The naming convention gets a bit confusing here, as this is also occasionally referred to as Bubble Bobble II in some regions.

It stars the 4 children of the original Bub and Bob, and they can now fire multiple bubbles by charging a shot.

Multiple paths can be taken through the game, and several boss fights are littered throughout.

Lots of other Taito characters make cameos as various assist characters, but the core gameplay remains consistent with the earlier games in the series, just adding an extra layer of depth.

Interestingly the backgrounds appear to be more realistic, some based on paintings and animal photographs, which gives it a bit of a unique feel.

Doesnt change the formula too much, but pure arcade action though.

I havent actually played this, and not a lot of infofootage of it exists, so if anyone has, feel free to add their thoughts.

To me, this represented a dark time in video game history, when it seemed every franchise was polygonised, and I thought 2D sprite work was dead.

Interestingly enough, Bub and Bob seem to retain their human form in this version, just wearing dragon romper suits.
