🕹️ New release: Lunar Lander Beyond

Bubble Bobble also featuring Rainbow Islands

aka: Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands
Moby ID: 788

DOS version

A perfect remake.

The Good
This is without a doubt one of the best computer game retouches ever. Screw Rainbow Islands; I'm talking about Bubble Bobble - Rainbow Islands was just a bonus. But Bubble Bobble was one of my favorite games on the XT, and boy did I play this one to death.

The remake is simply amazing: revamped graphics that still stay true to the original, excellent music, good controls and the gameplay retains the charm of the original game without taking anything away from it. Simply magnificent!

The Bad
The addition of Rainbow Islands was really stupid (as was the game)... more importantly, I never find it in stores and was forced to play a pirated version. Oh well, life is tough :-)

The Bottom Line
A faithful and overall excellent remake of a true classic. Just make sure you stay away from Rainbow Islands.
