Hello, in my last issue of Retro News Flash, I covered the game Bubble Bobble Remstered and ran a short report on it. It's a really great game, I really liked it. All the best from Magisthan´s Spielekiste. 🙂
Excellent port! Happy to see the continue but fixed as well. Runs well on NTSC. Could you implement pressing fire button on the main menu for starting the game instead of having to press 1?
Very nice remaster of one of the best C64 ports ever released. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:26:33. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
I played this game while helping the Zzap! team fix / test my new disk menu for the Zzap! 64 Micro Action covermount. I love the loading bitmap and the intro music. I am glad the main game music was kept from the original as I would have been lost without it, since I bought the original in a C64 "Taito Arcade Hits" games compilation by Imagine back in the past, The game graphics are polished, and the game characters are still cute. This game deserves a classic looking tape loader like Visi Load, (I have a tape loader that looks a bit like that loader in Totally Tape 1 called Totally Mad . I remember the original Bubble Bobble using Bleepload.
Thank you Richard for your kind words! My original copy of Bubble Bobble was on disk without any loading picture. Do you mean a classic tape loader with color bars? And music while loading?
You should add sounds when they shoot the Bubbles out of their mouths. Also would it be possible to shift the image to the CENTER of the screen and remove the scores from the right and put them on the top and bottom with transparency showing the game behinid the scores so that the game is FULLSCREEN? Anyhow adding sound to themshooting the Bubbles would be great. Havent tried this in NTSC mode as I am used to a faster speed and music.. will try today.
the play area is already “fullscreen”, it is exactly the same width as the arcade and just 1 row shorter, so removing the stats from the right side won’t do any good as there’s no room on the top or bottom.

Why didn't you use high resolution sprites? It would really make a significant upgrade. Maybe next version.
it would require a major code rewrite
Excellent version of the great game. I've also included it in my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.
Very nice, thank you!
I just bought it from you!! Thanks again for the work done!! ;)
thank you, enjoy!

Hi, thank you! Nice nickname, I love RoboCop! Yes, all going well, the fire-to-start feature is coming in v1.1, along with two-button controls.
I would like to see a fix on the "CONTINUE" issue. I don't understand why there is not a countdown if you want to start over again?
press Q to quit to the title screen. There are that much changes we can do to the original code
OK, I can live with that! :) Thank you so much!
thank you, enjoy!

thanks for the video!
Thank you for this, here is my tribute...
Thank you for making a video for our little remaster!😃👍🏻
Absolutely amazing! Loved Bubble Bobble!
thanks, enjoy!😃👍🏻
My fiancée told me she used to love this game. So I want to play it with her.
Amazing job! It's still worth playing the game again. ☺
Thank you! That's exactly what I hoped for. Enjoy!

Yes, I mean't exactly that. :)
Awesome remastered game !
Thank you!!
Great remaster - i always loved this game in the arcades and when it came out on the C64. Pretty good job ...only arrived to LVL 32 :)
thank you 😊 practice makes perfect 👍🏻
I have a suggestion... on the screen for choosing the number of players (1 or 2), pressing FIRE will start the game with one player.
One of the worst things about many C64 games is that they rely on the keyboard to START playing.
This is probably coming in v1.1 with two buttons control
Genial!!!!
Ragazzi complimenti, lavoro a dir po poco spettacolo!
grazie 🙏🏻 divertiti!
And now i'm into Bubble Bobble so much i'm searching a c64 tape with the "old" version :D
Awesome job, thank you!!
As for the tape, I too went down the same rabbit hole in the past :D
what system does this code run on? How do I play it?
Commodore 64. You either play on a real machine or an emulator like VICE.
You should add sounds when they shoot the Bubbles out of their mouths. Also would it be possible to shift the image to the CENTER of the screen and remove the scores from the right and put them on the top and bottom with transparency showing the game behinid the scores so that the game is FULLSCREEN?

This is my kind of Remaster - the Best kind. 10/10
Very nice!!
