Bub and Bob are still the best bubble exterminators in video games, but without a compadre, a little of their antics is all you’ll need.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. All Bubble Bobble has is the trapping and stepping followed by more trapping and more stepping. And shooting/jumping on enemies are only two aspects of those games. Trapping enemies in bubbles and stepping on them isn’t as fulfilling as, say, shooting Metsin the Mega Man series or stomping Koopas in Super Mario Bros. Far be it from me to criticize an old game with such a generous amount of content, but I don’t think Bubble Bobble‘s lightweight gameplay warrants the two hundred levels it provides. Playing by yourself? Well, you might have to do some serious rationalizing to make Bubble Bobble worthwhile. Cups of coffee, pats on the back, loud music, together you will curb stomp Super Drunk. With a friend, each of you can convince the other that Bubble Bobble is worth trudging through, that the game’s couple hundred levels are all essential. Celebrating E3, seven years before the expo began. If you don’t grab them before level 100, you’ll get the bad ending, even if you beat the last boss, Super Drunk. Three crystal balls are also the key to making it past level 100. Basically, if an item appears in a level, touch it. Laboratory beakers suck you into mini-games. Different-colored umbrellas warp you ahead a few levels. Red, green, and blue bubbles, once popped, will inflict fire, flash, and water damage respectively to enemies throughout the level (and you, if you’re not careful). Keep an eye on the numerous other bubbles and items that appear, as well. The enemies don’t die, but they do turn into delicious life-giving fruit. You blow bubbles around the enemies, and pop the bubbles while they’re inside. Each level is a one-screen layout filled with enemies and items.

In Bubble Bobble, you play as Bub or Bob (Bubblen and Bobblen in Europe), dinosaurs who have a penchant for blowing bubbles and trapping creatures within them.
