Bubble Bobble
« on: February 06, 2012, 01:49:03 AM »
I've always thought it was a shame this was never ported the the Engine.  There's a thread here: http://www.retrocollect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1948 where a guy is suggesting a new version which adds in 4 players, a level editor etc.

How hard would this be to write, and what would be the best approach?

I mean the sprites should be freely available, and there's no doubt the PCE could handle it.  The difficulty would be the hidden mechanics, such as the route of the bubbles and all the triggers, but these are all available in one form or another.

I just think it would be ultra sweet to have this on a Hu Card.

OldRover was working on this at one point like 94 years ago.

It would be f*ck-all easy to write Bubble Bobble. 

The basic game is nothing.  It's just got a jillion levels.  It would be a whole hell of a lot easier than Atlantean, thats for sure.

At this point I'm hoping someone pops up offering to make it... or even better, they have made it :D

What language are PCE games written in anyway?  C?

C/6502 assembly.

Bubble Bobble could probably be done in C with little issue.

I put it aside after the Brandon Cobb debacle. It will stay aside for now. If Arkhan ever releases Squirrel 3.0, I'll take it back up again. In the meantime, I have too many other things already on my plate.

It would be sweet, but we already have Parasol Stars, Don Doko Don, and some others.  I can live without it.

What does he have to do with Bubble Bobble, though? Did he claim he created it or something?
