![]() The game begins with two dinosaurs, Bub and Bob, having their girlfriends been captured, the goal of the adventure is to rescue them; you will have to guide Bub and Bob through over 100 levels of bubble shooting bliss. The games simplicity is its most attractive feature. It’s simple to pick up with a friend and get right into it. Upon starting the game you immediately are thrown into action where you blow bubbles across the screen and attempt to capture the bad guys in them. Notice the orange bad guy in the bubble; he looked just like the other robot before I captured him...(or her, you ladies can be bad guys too...) When a bad guy (or gal) is captured in a bubble, they begin to float toward the top of the screen. ![]() On the screenshot below, notice the letters, you try to collect the letters to spell "EXTEND". If you complete the word it will allow you to skip to the next level. As you progress through the game, the actual game play never really changes. The maps become increasingly more difficult and the bad guys move faster. Playing the game is much like playing Tetris, not too complicated but an acute challenge and highly addictive. While Bubble Bobble isn’t one of the greatest games on the NES, its still one of my favorites. I highly recommend adding this classic to your collection. |
