Rainbow Islands
aka:
Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2,
Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble II
Moby ID: 7695
Atari ST version
Superb game once mastered. A hell of a lot better than Bubble Bobble.
The Good
For raw playability this game is really up there. Once you realize what this game is about (getting those gems in Rainbow order), you begin to see that it goes a little deeper than your first expect. Once you get this game mastered you can quickly lose hours playing it. Much more playable than Bubble Bobble (at least in one-player mode).
The Bad
No simultaneous two-player mode! :( The original arcade didn't have it, but boy it would have been fun! Plus there's some islands missing (in order to fit the game into the Amiga's 512k memory, or so they said).
The Bottom Line
More fun that it first looks, another Amiga classic!
