Bubble Bobble: Part 2 (NES)

Bubble Bobble 2

Platform: NES Year: 1993 Developer: Taito Corporation

Bubble Bobble Part 2 is one of the many sequels to the popular arcade game Bubble Bobble. Player 1 takes control of Bub and the second player takes control of Bob. Their girlfriends have been kidnapped by monsters and its the Bubble Bobble Brothers' job to rescue them. Unfortunately, a lot of the fun from the original game was lost with the sequel, as the ability to play two-players simultaneously was removed. This game is also one of the rarest NES games and the cart alone can go for as high as $500!

Music

The game's music offers several great themes to listen to. There's an in-game song for every 20 levels, then a boss theme, final boss theme, and other tunes that will keep you satisfied. Kenichi Kamio is the man responsible for these magnificent tunes. The songs have that same action-y but classical theme to them like the first game, though Tadashi Kimijima wrote the music for the first game. For some reason, the music is tuned sharp.
