Thank you Mark for years and years of fun! I don't watch every episode but whenever I do I greatly enjoy them.

The soundtrack has been hunting me for decades

One of my favourite games of all time. Been playing it in various versions since the Spectrum, Commodore 64, PS1, Original Xbox, Xbox 360 (Bubble Bobble Neo) and currently the PS4 version. Love it as much now as i did back then :D

Believe it or not Bubble Bobble was originally designed to be a date game in order to lure couples into arcades when the coin op version was released in Japanese game rooms.

BAD END
THIS IS NOT A TRUE ENDING!
TRY AGAIN WITH YOUR FRIEND.

This was the third video game I ever played, and I played it with my dad when I was really little. This game will always have a special place in my heart :)

I love Bubble Bobble! I got this on my NES Classic Edition, downloaded this on my Wii via Virtual Console, and I also got this on my Taito Legends compilation, published by SEGA for the PlayStation 2.

Good times. Loved this growing up. Always used to do dir checks on the old 5150 ibms my school had for this.

That song will be stuck in my head for days now - thanks Mark!
One of the first video games I ever played. I judged an arcade every time I went into one with 'Does it have Bubble Bobble? If so, this arcade ROCKS.'.

I still remember my first time playing this. At my friend's house and he says "let's play this!" When it started I immediately thought "what kind of kids crap is this?!" He said to give it a chance and it took about 5 seconds to realize how awesome it was and I've loved it since!

played this on a tiny arcade cabinet with my two sons (only two player) at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2016 and 2017, and it's a blast fosho

Wow. The memories of finally beating this game. The final boss wasn't all too difficult I recall.

[americantadpole]

That would be truly amazing if CGRundertow came back... Glad to still have Lord Karnage!

[lawnboyfreak]

A friend and I spent a week getting all the passwords written down. That was a fun week. The final boss battle is so much fun once you get the pattern down!

Taito games of the 1980s had SO Much personality. This one in particular is one of my personal bizarro keepsakes - any time I've owned a game console, I've had to make sure I had a version of it for that platform.

I'm currently in love with the DS version, bundled with Bubble Bobble Revolution. It's pretty much arcade perfect!

[gunhed]

I beat up a bully who stole my Bubble Bobble cartridge and ran off with it, no way he was taking that game!

[Trusteft]

Always go for the candy first, . don't end the level before you get them. Same with shoes.
You can get extra points by moving next to a wall and fire at it, after you have finished the level. It will only last for a couple of seconds and get few points but they pile up.
Fantastic game.

I still have the original NES game, and it is fun to play, and the game is still amazing, an excellent port of an arcade classic by Taito, the same company that did "Space Invaders".

I needed this review. Reminded me of a simple time in life.

You try to spell EXTEND, not extra...
