Bubble Bobble
Game by Taito
Review by The Avardancer
Size: 512 Kilobits
Save: Password, Alphabetic, four characters.
Released: 1991
Works with: Any version of Gameboy

Opening Snide Remarks: 
Those disgustingly cute dinosaurs are back! Actually, I like the Arcade game.
I've beaten the NES game and I hope that there's more to this game then that.

Gameplay: NEW STUFF! This is a real simple game to play. You just blow
bubbles to trap enemies and then pop the bubble to defeat the enemies. Once
all the enemies are defeated you go to the next level. There are over one
hundred levels with a password save. It's serious fun and it is addictive.
The game plays like the arcade version. And is a bit mindless; but that is
okay by me.


Graphics: The graphics are easy to see and there's not much detail. The
graphics do the trick. The game sprites are not very large; but the arenas
are nice and big.

Sound: Generic bounce and blow sounds. (let me rephrase that.) The sounds
are standard Gameboy sounds. Though they are appropriate for the on-screen
action and they are clear too.

Music: Practically one song that loops during the entire game. It's madness!
The music can get annoying. This game presents another reason for headphones,
and the volume switch.

Play Control: A little off. But it works. The dinosaurs float a little bit;
but it's because they are "light". The game control and hit detection may
seem a bit biased at times; but controls make sense and the game is easy to
get into.


Final Analysis: If you have played Bubble Bobble and you like it, get this
game. If you haven't played, try it out first. I like it because now I don't
have to spend quarters and tokens on it in the arcade. The game is not for
everyone; but that is okay. It isn't the best game out there; but it is far
from the worst.

SCORE.
