Bubble Bobble

             

              Manufacturer: Taito
              Year: 1986

Descpription: In the game, each player controls one of two dragons.
The player can move along platforms, as well as jump from one latform to
that above, or to the side, in a similar way to most platform games.

The player can also blow bubbles. These can trap enemies, who are defeated if the
bubble is then burst by the player's spiny back. The bubbles also float for a time
before bursting, and can be jumped on, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible areas.

If a bubble containing an enemy is allowed to burst on its own, it turns "angry", becoming
pink-colored and faster than normal. Contact with the enemy is deadly, resulting in the loss of a life.
