Bubble Bobble

I don't know how this copyright stuff works, so straight out I will say that I don't anything of or related to Bubble Bobble except a copy of Bubble Bobble Revolution.




Bubble Bobble is an older game that people still think is interesting. Or Taito (the creators) do at least. It stars two dinosaurs, Bub & Bob, (or Bubblin & Bobblin, they change it often) who fight through 100 levels of random monsters who go faster than crack when you get to the end.

Apparently their some kind of story to it. 2 actually, one from Japan & our shorter version

Japan: Giant drunk "Grampa" and his army of drunks & monsters kidnap your girlfriends for no reason.

America:Elves that throw hammers do the same thing

I dont know how drunk translates to elf w/ hammer but apparently it does.
Its been remade 3 or 4 times along w/ some sort of sequel called Rainbow Isles.

I call the random act of kidnapping someone the "Slashstab Theory"

According to the the Slashstab theory, someone bigger & stronger than you will kidnap something dear to you as long as they know you like it.

This stems from a show I cant remember when a villain called Lord Slashstab (WHOM I DONT OWN EITHER) speaks

"I shall steal this mystical lamp for no particular reason"

He's riding like a dragon & laughs evilly afterward. what a douche

The games graphics are good due that the original came out when Atari didn't make well known DBZ games but instead 8-Bit impossible-to-beat games.

The gameplay is addictively irritant.
The levels consist of a room filled with x amount of enemies who move in a set pattern.

Being a small dino your weapon (instead of teeth or rage) are magical bubbles that emit from your mouth & capture (not kill) your enemy, which you have to pop before they break out, get really pissed & kill you instead.

You also have about a 15 second time limit to do this in
You wont die but an annoying skull head will stalk you & run into & kill you if you don't kill everyone automatically.

And for some reason they turn into fruit or trophies after you tear their bodies asunder w/ depressurized death bubbles.

By level 99 the monsters are hell to kill cause they move faster than Flash on crack. also if you dont ride your bubbles just right, youll fall into an inescapable hole, nothing except Skull man will kill you then.

the final boss is a giant version of the usual elves.

He throws bottles (drunk) & keeps his weakness near him, like most villains do so for some reason. his weakness is two lightning marked bottles near him which you have to get, then shoot him w/ new lightning bubbles you get. Eventually, he too will be encased in a bubble you can depressurize immmediately & pop.

The end I have yet to reach because most of the lower levels ie 88-99 need two players or a godly amount of patience to win.

There is a cheat however that create a soda can that kills everything on screen when you touch it. (?????)

Oh, & when you die, you go back to the last level you died in, unlike the impossible other Atari games where u just start over.

the game itself is addictive. you will hate it & love it at the same time.

It gets 5 out 10 WTFs
WTF being an abbreviation for something & my way of rating things.
1 is serious boring & stupid
while 10 is trippy, confusing, but the most fun youve ever had.

If you don't believe, wiki it.
