Bubble Bobble

&





Bubble Bobble is the name of an arcade game by Taito. It featured two cute dragons, Bub and Bob, who moved over a system of platforms, busting and pushing bubbles, avoiding bad guys and collecting a variety of power-ups. The game featured 100 levels, each with intriguing puzzles and twists.

Versions of the game were released for several home computer or game systems, such as the Commodore 64 and the Nintendo Entertainment System. A sequel to Bubble Bobble, Bubble Bobble 2 was also released for the NES, as well as Rainbow Islands, a sequel to the first two games. Rainbow Islands was later remade for the Sega Genesis.

Bub and Bob also appeared in Puzzle Bobble, otherwise known as Bust a Move in the United States. Bust a Move was followed by many sequels, for many consoles, including Playstation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Playstation 2, and even theN-Gage, along with computer and arcade versions. Obviously, it became more popular than the original Bubble Bobble game itself.
