Bubble Bobble: The Arcade Game From Tatio For the Amiga: $16 (or so)
Also Out for the Nintendo $35 (ICK!!!)
and the c64. ($13)

Well My Little Bro and I Loved the Bubble Bobble Game In the Arcade.
It was "Cute" not overly Violent and involoved SOme stradgery.

So I got it For his c64. (hay $13 was Cheap)
It diden't Work, The copy protection diden't like his drive or 
perhaps his C64 was too Old in rhe ROM area (EA games mess up a lot too)
So he was Totally Pissed at that. The game WORKED fine on his cousions machine.

SO myother friend got it for his Nintendo. It was Cooool
nintendo Options include Password to the Upper Levels.
2 diffrent sets of levlels and neat stuff.

So i got it for my amiga. BIG  MAJOR Dissapointment.

1) No passwords to get to the upper levles (I can ALMPST live with that)
2) The game uses the "6 quarter" kind of continue. and say ya playing one player. and ya last guy dies, If ya Don't Hold Down the Button Ya don't get to
use the other tokens. Ie. the Continue Feature SUCKS!
I'd like a LOT more if the silly thing did a 10..9..8 count but 
noooooooo.... It's really annoying.
and No other levels!


Graphics:
C64: Not Bad, kinda blocky.
Nin: Ok, little better then the 64, but plays "slower and Water don't look like water" ie they had to cut Cornors.

Amiga: As good as the Arcade.  Better then the Nintndo. Cheaper Too,
But taito seems to be taking the Seag route to amiga games.

at least the Game was cheap.

I picked up Bubble Bobble a couple of months ago at Software Etc and got a
lot of play value from it. The graphics and music are as faithful as
possible to the arcade original. Minor drawback: the game runs in B&W on the
A-1000's composite output port because they forgot to turn on the COLOR bit
in BPLCON0. Runs on an A-3000 if you crack it w/the Amiga Replay cartridge,
although much faster.

 Addictive game. Only got Bubble Bobble on my C64. It was originally an arcade
game from Taito. Rainbow Islands : Bubble Bobble 2 is out for the Amiga as well.
It's really nice, quite addictive for a while, until you can beat it every time
(after many, many, many games). Graphics for Rainbow Islands are really nice.
Bubble Bobble (1 & 2) have quite nice muzak as well.
