MAME ROW #75 - Bubble Bobble
-
Is it just me or is the character of Wiz the dark mage from Final Fantasy?
-
@cosmo0 I thought the same. It is the same company behind Raiden and I suppose it's just a sprite which just by accident look similar to Final Fantasy Wizard. I suppose all wizards of that time looked the same. ;-)
-
This week's winner is Bubble Bobble
-
I did want vote too, but couldn't find a vote button. Is it possibl to do this through mobile site (actual Firefox on Android)? Or was it already closed when I searched for it (10 minutes ago)?
-
@thelostsoul I never remove the ENORMOUS link to vote from the original post.
I just take a screenshot and post it in the thread. At the time the results are posted, the voting is effectively closed.
-
Cor- that’s a lot of votes:) Really enjoying this game, it’s surprisingly tactical for such a simple premise, going to need a bit more practice methinks!
-
@obsidianspider omg sorry, I was so blind. I did just fast scan for something integrated, didn't know its an external site/link and so I just didn't read link texts. I saw it as a header and because its long link text, my brain didn't saw it. My mistake, never mind.
-
@thelostsoul I do reply to myself. ;-)
Based on this, how about to shorten the link text and starting it with the word VOTE? Maybe others are blind too! And no need to say "click" which is a link already. Its just a small detail, but sometimes small can have a big impact.Something like to just "Vote here for MAME ROW #75" would be perfectly enough and more clear in my opinion.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what I'm doing with this one, but my best score so far is:
124760
-
@thelostsoul Sorry, I'm a fan of reading. I'll keep the vote link text as it is. ;)
-
On my first try 78190 Pts ;)
@GtBFilms score seems to be beatable - if I try more ;) -
Are you all running the MAME2003 or FBA version?
-
@andershp I'm running bublbobl on Mame. I'll share my scores later! This is one of my most favorite games:)
-
Just a reminder that an overlay exists for this game ;-)
-
165 980 is the farthest I'm willing to go today :)
With the overlay from John Merit in my repository (shameless plug)

I had actually been playing it quite a bit in the last few weeks, and this is my current high score table.
My top score is 317.100 in 1 credit, single player. Apologies for the weird cropping of the photo, I can get a better one later. :) Also, @AndersHP , I took inspiration from your cabinet and put together a Bubble-Bobble themed one as well a few weeks back!
The scores #1 and #3 were a 2-player session with my sister, so I'm not counting those here.
If you're curious about this game, it is surprisingly deep and systematic. You can read some hints and tips here - I don't really go for the level guides (well, that also explains why I can only get to level 14-15 on a single credit) but the basic principles are there.
I hope these help you have even more fun with the game (and now put my high score to shame :) ).

Jesus, guys! I was so happy for my hiscore of 146.480 untill I logged on here. Well, will share the pic anyway (sorry for the glare, sunny day today).
Really cool to se so many Bubble Bobble themed cabs here! :)
Nice going @pjft and please let us see the entire cabinet!
-
There are several ways to get highscore. If you kill 7 "bubbeled" enemies in one streak you earn 64k Pts ;)
More to read here (not 100% same link pjft posted alreaday) and please don't cheat!
And here is a kind of walkthrough -
@pjft are you using any shader?
Interesting... in your screenshot colored text shows scanlines while white seems not. -
@udb23 I think the white is just blown out on the photo, right? The scanlines look subtle though. I'd like to know which shader is used too.
Never got around to using any, because I thought they looked way too much and darkened the image.
