They had a tremendous hit back in 1978 with the iconic ‘Space Invaders’, but since then they somewhat faded into the background. It’s an absolute classic.Īpparently, Taito had trouble maintaining their relevance in the gaming arena in the mid eighties. ………………………………………………… Bubble Bobble Game Reviewīubble Bobble is a 1986 arcade platformer game published by Taito for various platforms including NES, Commodore 64 and Sega Master System.
