Bubble Bobble Double Shot
With a name like this - it has to be a kid's game - but with
the name of Taito on the box - maybe not.
Bob, Bub and Bubu (the precursors to Ed, Edd and Eddy) discover a mysterious map
and decide to go hunting for the treasure.
Ten different areas - 100 levels.
Doesn't use the touch screen function except for the mini-games.
The trio is red, blue and green and blow like colored bubbles.
Want turquoise or purple - combine two colors.
And why do you need to do this - because the enemy - who look like toasters are also color keyed.
The controls are almost primitive

It's a vertical stationary platformer.
You defeat enemies by shooting them and enclosing then
in bubbles and then stomping on them.
All bubbles are not the same, water bubbles, Thunder/spark bubbles and
fire bubbles will provide extra force.
Lose a life - you have to play a mini-game to continue.
What! I'm being punished for losing? It's the '80s mentality.
Fun Factor: For a trip down memory lane.
Player Friendly: Harder than it looks.
