There is a green dinosaur in Bubble Bobble. And yet I never played this game as a kid. There is a blue one as well (his name is Bob). They were always around when I was playing Bust-A-Move in college, cranking that bubble shooter, but since that was more of a puzzle, Tetris-like game, I hardly paid attention to their cutesy antics. Time to play catch-up....
After reading reviews about this game, it seemed like a nice two-player option, of which I'm sorely lacking on my NES. What do you expect from an only child? Well, after picking up a decently preserved cartridge, I could see why I missed it. This game is infinitely more fun with two players. It would be pretty boring and repetitive otherwise. You could end up playing this all night if you aren't keeping track of the time. If it weren't for the ridiculous jump in difficulty when you reach the end boss, we might have even finished it. Although, I doubt a game this simplistic has much of an ending. Still, it's been an enjoyable purchase, and perfect for playing a few rounds (or more), and not getting too stressed about dying too much. Though, I really want to know why it's so hard to beat that last boss....
