My sisters loved playing this classic, my dad loved it , hell, I even got my mom to play it once - and she hated video games.What was so enticing about this title? Was it the fact that it was one of the few genuine 2-player experiences from the 80s that did it for this classic? Aside from trapping enemies in a bubble and popping them and jumping platforms, the two B brothers must have offered something je ne sais quoi to earn the status of a classic. It must have been the head-spinning and the cuteness that did it for all of us.The cute factor and the world that displayed this cuteness worked just as well in the arcade or an amusement park or on my friends NES whenever I would play it - there was always somebody asking to join me in my Baburu Boburu adventures. And yes - the iconic game soundtrack was heaven!
For all that it’s a great game inspired by a merely good one, Bubble Bobble was not,
in itself, hugely influential—with the possible exception of the magnificent
sequel Rainbow Islands. Between them, perhaps, they
simply managed to perfect the formula. RS
