I picked up Bubble Bobble a couple of months ago at Software Etc and got a
lot of play value from it. The graphics and music are as faithful as
possible to the arcade original. Minor drawback: the game runs in B&W on the
A-1000's composite output port because they forgot to turn on the COLOR bit
in BPLCON0. Runs on an A-3000 if you crack it w/the Amiga Replay cartridge,
although much faster.
