Bubble Bobble

Bubble Bobble is one of the most famous arcades ever created and a personal favorite of GamesNostalgia. This 2D cartoon action platformer designed by Fukio Mitsuji (aka MTJ) was released by Taito initially in 1986. Thanks to its enormous success, the game was ported to mostly all consoles and home computers.

The Amiga version, released in 1987, developed by Software Creations, and published by Firebird, is considered one of the most faithful. Software Creations was a small British studio that became famous thanks to the Commodore 64 version of Bubble Bobble, a conversion that won critical acclaim and commercial success.

Bubble Bobble supports two players in co-op, and if a single player finishes the 100th level, he is asked to come back with a friend to complete the game. Only two players can see the real "happy ending", with the two brothers Bub and Bob transformed into humans and reunited with their girlfriends.
