So for example, I could earn some easy brownie points with editor Matt by quickly whipping together a level that resembles the first stage in his favourite 80s era platformer Snow Bros to play ( it's the one that's like Bubble Bobble, but actually good - ed). The core tools are smart enough, allowing you to place enemies, platforms and determine wind direction for bubble flow within each level.

That's the Baron's Workshop, you see, and it's a rather Super Mario Maker style take on how to make Bubble Bobble levels… only again, not as good.

Now in 2021, Taito's having another crack with Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron's Workshop, a PC take via Steam that still includes the same problems as the original game, but tries to entice players in with the promise of a level creator. It's just that the arcade game's been ported to every game system known to man, so it's not like it's hard to get hold of.īubble Bobble 4 Friends was originally a Switch game, before jumping over to the PS4 in 2020.

I mean, it's still Bubble Bobble, and like pizza, even when it's poor it's still pretty good, but easily the best thing about Bubble Bobble 4 Friends was the fact that it included full emulation of the arcade game as well. You can still do this, but when everyone gets the same score it's nowhere near as much fun. A huge part of the fun of Bubble Bobble is watching other players rack up huge bonus prize hauls with combo bubble bursting antics, only to slide in and steal them all. It absolutely didn't help that you have a common high score, rather than individual ones. The changes made to the way the bubbles work, combined with just 50 short and mostly very easy levels, especially with four players at once made for a mediocre title at best. Bubble Bobble over the years has been many different games of varying quality. If I'm after a different platform experience I might try my hand at Rainbow Islands or Parasol Stars. Ask my better half what the best game of all time is, and she'll probably answer Puzzle Bobble for example. In the intervening years, Taito has done all kinds of interesting things with Bubble Bobble. Yes, youngsters, games used to cost just 20c back then, and yes, I'm old enough to remember this kind of detail. I am unashamedly in love with Taito's classic 1986 arcade platformer, and have been ever since I first dropped a 20c piece into the Bubble Bobble machine in the Armidale bowling alley back in 1986. Ask me for my top five, and I'll list off five different variants of Bubble Bobble before expanding my tastes out to other titles. Ask me what my all-time favourite game is, and I'll tell you that it's Bubble Bobble.
