Considered by many to be one of the best games of all time, Bubble Bobble combines cute characters with simple but satisfying gameplay mechanics to create a game that seems like it came from Nintendo, but didn't. The game sends Bub and Bob, two chibi-styled, bubble-blowing dragons, through a series of 100 platform levels within the Cave of Monsters, defeating enemies by encapsulating them within bubbles and then popping them (which then causes them to turn into food). The level designs and enemy challenges become increasingly complex as the game continues, culminating in a single epic boss fight. Bubble Bobble would go on to pop out many sequels for consoles, as well as the hit spinoff series Puzzle Bobble (aka Bust-a-Move).
