Bubble Bobble
1986
Taito
Lets Meet the stars!
Bub and Bob. Simple enough right? It gets better. The game concept is nice and simple also.
Capture the bad guys on each level in your bubbles and popping the bubbles therefore clearing the level of all bad guys. Then you move on to the next stage and repeat.
Sounds simple enough right? Well, not always and even though its a simple concept its as addicting as tetris and just as fun. With the assistance of special bubbles containing point items or weapons such as water or lightning you have the ability to quickly dispatch those evil monsters. Also the levels are timed. While there is no actual timer counting down you will get a message telling you to hurry before an invincable skull monster comes to hunt you down. Starting slowly at first and then moving faster to take a life from you to end the level before you do.
This game has seen a ton of consoles and i believe the streak will continue. this is a game that has touched a console in just about every generation since the Commodore 64 all the way to the nintendo wii. A homebrew version of the was even released for the ti-83 graphing calculator in 2002.
Bub and bob have even made appearances in other flash bubble games. This game or characters are not going any where any time soon.
