Really I was 13 when I played the Atari ST version and it was great enough for me, even the NES version, I played it quite a bit when I bought the NES Mini and I though it still played fine. I think these videos are interesting because they put all versions side by side, but context is everything. We didn't have the same expectations then, and we didn't have the same access to the originals anyway, so it mattered much less. The really bad Tiertex ones, even then, I disliked, but Bubble Bobble or indeed Rainbow Islands on the ST, I just loved playing these games. They were great games in themselves, whether you cared about how arcade perfect they were or not.

I like how the GBC version just straight up uses the music from Bubble Bobble. Also I'm still annoyed with you guys Bubble Bobble comparison for not using the 128K version of Bubble Bobble for the ZX Spectrum, the one that actually had music. If you're going to make a video comparison with Spectrum games in it, make sure that you use the 128K version if one is available, since it's more likely to have extra stuff. It's like I watched the whole Bubble Bobble video to compare the music, then it gets to ZX Spectrum and it has NO music, people will assume it didn't have music on the ZX Spectrum now, when in fact only the 48K version didn't have music.

I should look into more versions, I played the NES version (couldn't finish it as a kid), Game Boy Color version (which I finished) and the taito legends version when I was younger, then later the Wonderswan version (this one is actually quite short, only 5 islands, but the cute cutscenes with portraits of the characters makes up for it entirely in my opinion, even if I can't read a word of it, somehow it is my favorite so far despite being shorter, not having actual colors, and featuring a different cast).

There's an item in the arcade version that turns enemies into that when they die. It has no effect outside of that.

I guess the Marty or Megadrive are best then (aside from the PCB). The PS2 Taito compilation version has altered music due to copyright, as per Bombjack. I tend to play the arcade JAMMA cab at arcade club and the megadrive version on the megadrive mini at home. Had it on speccy and amiga back in the day. An all time favourite of mine! 👍

In the arcade game, if you get the crystal ball item, all enemies will turn into Bubble Bobble ones when killed. On the final stage all the enemies are Bubble Bobble enemies, and the music changes too.

Japanese only PC released in 89 and discontinued in 97. It was home to some good arcade ports, but was always behind it's rival the X68000 which was more powerful had better sound capabilities parallax scrolling and also the FM Towns was more expensive.
