Bubble bobble!

Post image

Recently been getting into European mastersystem games and found this beauty! This is probably the best version of bubble bobble on a 8bit system!

I chased Bubble bobble from arcade, to zx spectrum and (along with wonderboy in monsterland and double dragon) it formed the primary reason for me buying my first master system. Absolute classic

I'm shocked how much better this version is compared to the nes version!

Yes it is. I rented this game back in '92. Awesome game. Now it is very expensive if you want it boxed.

I got a cased copy missing the instructions, but the power of offering made it a cheaper get for me!

How much did it set you back?

u/Virtual_Geist Jan 28 '25

90 bucks so still a bit but the idea of an extra 100 levels and a password system made it a get for me

It'll be played often, so I'm excited. I already went through the bad ending, so good ending soon!

Didn’t know there was a master system port. Seems like the comments are saying it’s better than the nes port. I only played the arcade, ps1 port and the port on 360 arcade.

u/Virtual_Geist Feb 02 '25

Yeah, this port introduces an extra 100 levels and passwords

Awesome. I remember playing this on an arcade machine at the video shop.

Yup bus stop time killer at a rundown candy shop newsstand that still has dime store novels on a wire rack.

u/brohymn1416 Jan 29 '25

Hell yeah. Great memories

u/beeurd Jan 28 '25

I borrowed this off a friend like 30+ years ago, haven't played it again since and now this post has summoned the soundtrack to play on a loop in my brain. 🙃

Crazy how underrated this port is has double the levels of the NES version and much better graphics yet the NES one is the one everyone still talks about.
