Bubble Bobble – Arcade video game – Strategy Game


Bubble Bobble is a cute and challenging arcade video game consisting of two bubble shaped dragons Bubble and Bobble. The popularity of the game demanded home use and enjoyment, and many popular game consoles were the destination port for these versions. Players navigate the bubble dragon one at a time, blowing bubbles and annihilating bubble dragon enemies. There is no restart value or “new life” point, enemy contact expires the dragon.

Bubble Bobble is one of many strategy games that keep people occupied and challenge users on a whole new level. The generic motif allowed hundreds of game stages or “worlds. Learning the tricks and cheat codes to manipulate the Bubble and Bobble dragons is one of the best parts of playing Bubble Bobble, because employing these tricks still requires strategy analysis of pacing and enemy attack methods for successful progress through the game.

The natural weapons the dragons enjoy are the spines along its back. The enemies get pinkish red in “anger” when they are the last remaining and agitate much faster. This makes the last enemy more difficult to eradicate. As part of an early sweep of simple arcade type video games, Bubble Bobble requires only a two button or joystick input device. Since Bubble Bobble predates the personal computer or cellphone, specific port versions (GameBoy, Nintendo, Sega) need to be obtained. But fans remain loyal to Bubble Bobble.
