Bub and Bob are back in the two great games on one disc - Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands. Blow bubbles, hunt for powerups, and extend in Bubble Bobble! Shoot rainbows and travel through seven mysterious themed worlds in Rainbow Islands
For your money you get arcade perfect translations of two of the world's finest platformers: Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands.
The former title casts one or two players as Bub and Bob, two bubble-blowing dinosaurs. It's their job to negotiate the single screen platform environs, blowing bubbles and imprisoning the enemy sprites in them. Jump into them again to burst the bubble and destroy the enemy. It's as simple as that. Only it isn't, because the game design is so clever that the game offers far more depth than you ever dreamed of.
Rainbow Islands is quite simply one of the greatest hits of videogaming - and a game that all self-respecting games players must play. This time Bub has morphed back into his human dungareed persona and is armed with the power of the rainbow. The rainbows are the key to this game's genius. You can climb them to reach platforms or you can use them as projectiles to kill meanies. Rainbow Islands is in a class of its own. The myriad secret rooms and hidden techniques put this in the same league as the early Mario games, where gameplay and replay value were considered more important than visuals alone
-Crush, burst, blast and blow bubbles, solve mazes and defeat the enemies across 125 levels of mindboggling rainbow-rocking gameplay!
