Bubble Bobble

Does anyone know this game?
I used to play this on an arcade (and spent LOADS of guilders on it). I did one time reach lvl 98 and after that lost interest in it.

Does anyone know if there's a free linux version? Or do I need to use an emulator?

I used to love those dragons spitting balloons :D

Here's an image of the game:

I love it too!

I actually play the C64 and Amiga versions from time to time. I have a "museum" of old hardware in my room :)

That's quick :)

edit:
Damn. You even get to play it as a server :D

This is soooooooooooooooooooo cool :D

I played from 9 PM-ish till 2 am :D :D
On a working day.

Damn I feel so tired now

Hehehe, have the same feeling for old games. Nothing beat the classics :)

I was pondering. Maybe I could remember more golden oldies that are playable on Linux :P

I used to play a game with a spaceship that flew from bottom left to top right and where you could go up and down (it was the 1st one ever that did that).
Can't remember the name tho.

Hmm. And than there's Magic the Gathering. Inside the series of "Might and Magic" you'd have Inns where you could play that game :D edit: found this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/magic-project/ :) :)

I think I'm going to search the web for some oldies :D

YEEEEEES :D
Oh man that game swallowed SOOOOOOOOOO many guilders :X

Oh and I found some other games too:
1942
Centipede


Hmm I need to know another one:
It's a game where you have a glass ball and there are other metal balls inside a maze. When you roll your ball all the other ones roll the same direction. Object was to get the ball to a location without getting hit by those balls and not to fall into a pit or into a laser.

It also have things like mirrors that you could flip. I know it ended on -ball (duh ;) )

Eventually you can run many of the old games with Dosbox

Also, look in the repositories for FROZEN BUBBLE> great Bubble Bobble remake.

Frozen Bubble is a great game, but thats based off Bust a Move, not Bubble Bobble.

Anyone remember Adventure Island?

When I try to 'make' Bub's Brothers, it says this:

make -C doc
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/bubbros-1.4/doc'
groff -man -Thtml bb.py.1 > bb.py.html
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `html'
make[1]: *** [bb.py.html] Error 3
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/bubbros-1.4/doc'
make: *** [docs] Error 2

Anyone know what might be causing this? :)

edit: Someone informed me that it did not have to be compiled at all, and boy to I feel stupid... On the other side of things, I've been enjoying the game frequently. :D

Thank you.
