Pfft, Bubble Bobble is one game where practically every conversion of it is damned good. I've never come across a bad version, and I've tried it on old consoles and all sorts.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 6:07 pmI'll play Bubble Bobble with you anytime Pete, but only the arcade version!PeteProdge wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 6:22 pm My dad never touched the Spectrum at all.

Yeah, the Speccy only has 80 of the 100 levels, but still, it plays very much like the arcade.
Obviously, the arcade is king, but I can't find a version that sucks - unless it's when they try to 'update' it.
I could get away with that by having the telly switched off. You forget how quiet a Spectrum is. Come the 1990s, with 'serious' computers, the fan made it clear it was definitely on.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 6:07 pmThe only time my dad ever touched my Speccy was to unplug it if ever unattended (more than 30 seconds). He was the original 'like Blackpool illuminations in here', which is British for 'you are using too much electricity'. He finally learned to stop doing it after pulling the plug on a program I had just spent 2 hours putting into a rubber keyed 48k.
