[AMSTRAD CPC] Bubble Bobble Remake – BB4CPC – PREVIEW!

A remake of Bubble Bobble on the Amstrad CPC! Special Preview!

A classic arcade game gets a poor conversion to the Amstrad – a familiar story. Well one guy called Cesar (from CNGSoft – maker of the CPCE emulator) decided he would put things right and remake it from the ground up! Here we have a special preview of his work in progress which is nearly complete – remember guys this is an un-finished Beta version so there’s more to be added and improved (points and scoring, bubbles that can be pushed, riding the water, bonus’s and the rest of the powerups).

The goal here is not to get the ultimate 8-bit version of the game, but something as close to the arcade original as is feasibly possible in 64k of memory – and something at least comparable to the other conversions. Cesar’s priorities was to fit this into a single load, in 64k of memory so normal CPC464 machines can play it, utilise the full 16 colours available in the Amstrad palette, full music and sound effects, all the levels and final boss etc! As Cesar said himself to me – if the C64 got the full game with 100 rounds, final boss, music, etc. why couldn’t the CPC464? And that is the simple goal here! Not so simple is coding everything from scratch including the graphics and the music!

ENJOY!!!
