For those of you too young to know what Bubble Bobble is, it's basically a one and two player platform game in which you take control of the characters Bubble and Bobble who just happen to be cute 'ickle' dragons.
The game involves jumping around hundreds of levels, trying to collect the fruit bonuses while simultaneously 'bubbling' the baddies. This means trapping the enemies within bubbles blown from your dragon's mouth, and either stamping on them or simply waiting for the bubble to burst.
The aim is to defeat the two ultimate enemies, the Sorcerer and the Ghost, and with over 200 levels in the registered version you'll enjoy many a day blasting your way to the final showdown.
For those of you who are old enough to remember Bubble Bobble, there's nothing more to say, because you've probably downloaded the game already!
This really is a great game, or maybe there's some bias in this review due to the childhood regression that has taken place since it was discovered. Anyway, download it and decide for yourselves.
With its colourful graphics, cool tunes and fast, frenetic gameplay, you really can't go wrong. Promise.
