I'm sad to say that even if this game is cool, the graphics are way worse than the original game.

I would still prefer playing the original Bubble Bobble 2 on PC!

I aggree with #15 and #21. Game Over is in seirous trouble of getting sued up their eyeballs and and get a court order saying they can never make video game ever again. If you reading this Game Over. Change that game's name so you won't get sued by Taito!

Why am I not able to down load the whole program? It gets part and says set up incompleted. Thank you

For those who do not have these games they are pretty cool. I however thought that they were giving new developers a chance to show there stuff. Also, I still am concerned about the adult link that pops up alot on the front page. Why is this on your sight?

For everyone who enjoyed today's offering, here is a fantastic page on Bubble Bobble Nostalgie with a full list of cheat codes, level passwords, boss strategies, and everything else you could ever need!

Enjoy!

Thank you Lee comment #23, I downloaded the 'bub and bros' freeware via the link you provided. If anyone loses or missed out on today’s game I can honestly say it's a worthy alternative, with the added bonus of being able to play online. Although the game offered today does allow two players, but not on an internet or LAN connection. :(

I played it online with my son for a short while and really had a great time. We've not really got into online gaming together yet, so this game is a great introduction. He now wants me to play ‘Serious Sam’ and ‘Battlefield 2’ via our LAN. However I think I need to wait a couple more years before I allow him to play BF2.

I didn't play this game at all the first time around apart from the initial testing to see if it worked okay. I have since found it quite entertaining for short periods of time which would indicate that it is a good time filler in between other things. Unfortunately for you folks who like to take some time out in between work, there’s no windowed mode supported; whereas the freeware version kindly mentioned by Lee starts in windowed mode).


I was busy this morning so wasn’t able to write a review that did justice to this game. The following is an addendum to my first comment #18

You can download several level packs that give you an extra 600+ levels from the following links:

Once downloaded unzip the packs and place them in the games folder; which, if you allowed the game to be installed to its default position, you’ll find by following the following path:
C:\program files\Bubble Bobble Nostalgie\
Once installed, start the game and select the levels pack option as opposed to Episode 1 or 2. This will take you to a selection screen which will list all the level packs you’ve installed. This is an ongoing project, so if you are really enamoured of the game you should return to the download page (link below) at regular intervals to see if any more levels packs have been added. However with a total of over 800 levels I’m sure this will keep you occupied for many months to come.

If you don’t want to be bothered downloading all 10 level packs from the links above you can alternatively save the following address to your bookmarks/favourites and download them at your leisure.

You’ll find several cheat codes, (for those who get frustrated easily, or just like to cheat) on the above page as well. I’ve posted them here for reference only. Use them at your own risk. (Of spoiling the fun that is)

Cheat Codes:
Type in the words in lower case, (no Capitals) while playing the game for each of the cheats to work.

faster - boots to run faster
farbubbles - your bubbles fly farther
powerspit - your bubbles fly faster
blowmachine - you blow bubbles faster
equipment - three previous cheats together
countdown - all enemies turn into crystals
champions - all 3 rings.
zeus - add lighting to your bubbles
travel - pass 3 levels
hidden - invisibility
dangerous - fire breath

Thank you again GameOver Games, it is much appreciated that you didn’t follow in the footsteps of the developers of the Brave Dwarves series and put a charge on each of the level packs. This make the game a little more worth the download despite the exorbitant price of $19.95

To Phil(#26): Whoa, Dude! Could you possibly be any more fawning? LOL!! Why not just get down on your knees and elbows and offer up your own "bubble-bobble"? ROTFL!!

Looking at the screenshots, I see they have even ripped levels directly from the original Bubble Bobble (which, for those who don't know, was created and owned by the Japanese company Taito)! I'm surprised they haven't been sued yet.

I don't mind clones, but this is a bit too much, IMO. If it was a free tribute game, then okay, but it is a commercial product which tries to pass itself off as an official Bubble Bobble-game. Kind of like those fake Rolex-watches you buy off the street.

Yippee!! happy memories. this is the game I was waiting for.

Awesome! I've not played Bubble Bobble in years. Truly a nostalgic experience for me! ^_^

Thanks to #23 for mentioning Bub ‘n’ Bros, which looks like a much better clone than this giveaway.

Considering all the Bubble Bobble clones out there, there one is actually pretty decent. I definitely recommend this one, although I do agree with others, isn't the name Bubble Bobble copyrighted by Taito?

They aren't "designed for kids," they're designed for an arcade.
Just because children might be able to navigate it doesn't mean it's not any good.

This is a good arcade game -- simple, straightforward, main goal of "don't die," and lots of power ups to complicate your game as you get more practiced.

And no, I don't have a split personality. I'm a different Phil :P

If this game is childish then I don't ever want to grow up, because this is a fantastic little game. Simple 2d cartoony graphics, and a very simple game mechanic, but - just like it's predecessor - it oozes fun from every pore. A huge number of levels, and if you do ever manage to finish them all, it's very replayable, so you'll likely just come back to the start and begin again.

If there are any more games like this to come, then color me tickled pink.

okay, games are great, am kinda a newbie at this,, why do i get an error saying game.dat has to close,, on a few of the games i have downloaded?? anyone have any suggestions?? or did i just lose all those games somehow?? happens on at least 4 of the games i have downloaded.. thank you for the games that still run tho, lol

sweet i love bubble bobble

I absolutely love Bubble Bobble. There is an awesome Bubble Bobble clone that also supports things like multiplayer, and a whole lot of crazy bonuses, as well as gameplay identical to the original classic. It's available at http://bub-n-bros.sourceforge.net/ ... didn't download this version as Bub 'n' Bros is as close to perfect as I need (but then I didn't vote either)

I want Bubble Bobble games made by Taiko

Taito would kill this with a legal action if they dont have permission to make it.

Alright already with the cutesy, childish and otherwise boring (Yawns) games. Give us something with some bite to it. I know it may be difficult, but sheesh these games are designed for kids.

OMG, I've played this EXACT game in '99 on Windows 98... Although back then it was a demo (i still have the cd somewhere :P ) the game is mega fun fun :)

If you have children, or grandchildren, this is definitely one to download. The beautifully drawn intro screen and the basic game play are well worth the effort. The controls are simple although there's no mouse control. The options menu allows you to toggle off the music and sound effects as well as re-define the key bindings to your liking.

No matter what the sceptics say about this game, it is very playable despite being a clone of a clone. It will give the younger kids excellent keyboard practice and I'm sure hours of fun. My son wanted to take over my test runs a few minutes ago despite having played it through the first time around (back in January of this year). What does that tell you about this game.....say no more :)

The game is activated automatically when you install it. It is also compatible with Vista despite not being indicated in the requirements above, which makes it even more of a must have. ;)

I think this game is worth 7 out of 10 despite there being loads of this genre about.

Downloaded and installed fine. Seems slightly buggy - the first time I tried playing it, it froze up with an error message before it even finished loading. Repeated attempts worked fine, though.

When I tried to read the help screen, the program didn't want to let me back out of it, until I messed around for a bit, repeatedly hitting the keys.

Both of the above are small quirks that don't actually detract from the game. Gameplay itself seems fine.

It brings back memories of the original, which is always nice. Cute and fun, especially for kids. Overall a worthwhile giveaway.

So this is what nostalgia feels like...
I feel like im 8 years old again playing bubble bobble on my old XT... the day i reached the big ghost at the end... (SOB...)
Nice to know that no matter how old i get this game will still be around :)

remakes should be free. it even has the original name - the original publisher should kick their asses.

I remember this game from my childhood. Cool!

I don't understand how GameOver Games have been allowed to use the Bubble Bobble name (isn't it owned by Taito)?

This is a great classic game that everyone will enjoy. Thank you again!

Excellent game! Thanks again!

Not the best looking game but if it's not getting boring, 200 levels can provide quite some entertainment. :)
Also, passwords after 10 levels make sure you don't have to start all over again if you lose your last life.

SnowBros much better than Bubble Bobble.
and
Gay Dragons in the options ^^

Not as good as i remember on Amiga but thats old games for ya i still thoroghly enjoed/enjoying this game
Thanks

This is obviously a cheap clone at Bubble Bobble.

this game is interesting lolz, jz lv 80++ quite challenging. very nice game on timing coz if u didnt blow the bubble on time, faster monster will appear!! Btw, thanks for bring back my memory GAOTD.

An ok game if you liked the old Bubble Bobble for NES. Gameplay is average and the graphics are updated for PC but it still feels...wrong somehow. It was nice to see such a good try though. Still a good download, especially if you have never played Bubble Bobble for NES.

Oh, do I miss Bubble Bobble! I played it for a minute or two, and it feels good.......real good!

Bubble Bobble! Wow, this brings back memories. Thank you so much! I remember playing this game on my old Amiga 500, it was one of my favorites.

Ack! The cuteness! It burns! Installed and played just fine. Absolutely no mouse support, nor does it seem to have an option for Windowed mode.

i gotta give u 2 hoots for the past 2 games. hope this one is just as good
