Bubbles
This is one of those odd little games
that only the classic era could give us. In the constant search to come
up with more unique and creative characters to play in video games,
comes yet another one. This time you are a bubble. Yessir, the
embodiment of Mr. Bubble himself, you are a little soap bubble that
tries to get bigger. You do so by cleaning up the sink, which makes you
bigger and bigger. Get big enough and the sink drains and you go to the
next level by going down the drain.
But dirt isn't the only thing laying around
the sink. There are many things that can pop a poor bubble. The people
that own this sink are not going to win any housekeeping awards, that's
for sure. Besides leaving razor blades laying around (let's hope there
are no children in this house), they have bugs. Big stinking ants pop up
out of the sink to bust your bubble. But you can fight the ants with a
handy, dandy, miniature broom. Honest! You grab this teeny tinny broom
and whack the giant ants with it. Try and tell me that game programmers
from the 80's weren't influenced by certain substances, legal or
otherwise.
As is expected, the game keeps getting
harder and harder with more obstacles, more ants and a faster pace.
While the game is essentially the same over and over, the frenzied pace
will keep you from getting bored. It is a fun little game that is a bit
tricky to get the hang of (controlling a bubble is harder than it
looks), but will have you playing a few more games.
This is just a review of the arcade machine. If you are looking for the
