Bubble Bobble

A cancelled BBC Micro port of the hit arcade game Bubble Bobble that was supposed to come out in 1989.

Plot

Bub and Bob are little dinosaurs who can blow bubbles and jump around a lot. The idea of the game is to jump around the screen catching the baddies in bubbles and then popping them, turning the baddies into fruit or other such pick-upable items. To catch a baddy inside a bubble, simply shoot the bubble into the baddy. The bubbles have limited range so you have to move in quite close. To pop the bubbles, simply walk into them or jump on top of them. If you take too long, the indestructible Baron Von-Blubba (?) will appear and kill you. The only way to get rid of him is to complete the level... or to die...
