Abandonware DOS title

Bubble Bobble

Bubble Bobble is perhaps one of the most popular (and cute!) platform arcade games of all times. The goal of Bubble Bobble is simple: clear each screen from various monsters and reach the final stage. In order to get rid of enemies, dinosaurs Bub and Bob can spit bubbles to trap them, then pop the bubbles to kill them.

    I take back some of what I said about the Adlib music. The arcade machine uses the OPL1 chip, which is backwards compatible with the OPL2, meaning that arcade perfect music should've been possible.

    While part of the music is pretty decent, some tracks were just lazily done, with me managing to make something closer to the arcade in about an hour using Adlib visual composer. And I have no background in anything music related.

    Could be worse, could be Karnov that didn't even support Adlib.

    I really like the Adlib music in this port, there was clearly effort put into it. Not like the garbage that many games with GM or MT-32 support where Adlib music is merely an afterthought, or the garbage made by US Gold.
