At the request of Aric Ogle here at YouTube, I present to you a video walkthrough / playthrough / runthrough / etc of the NES game Bubble Bobble.
This was yet another one of the meny, many, many games I had back in the good ol' days of the NES. Needless to say, I had a ton of practice with this game growing up. It's a good thing too, since there are a few parts that can be a bit tricky.
I would have had this up sooner, but I would screw up usually in the middle or somewhere near the end. The trickiest part is getting the orb when it's only one player. Thankfully I had devised a path more or less, and after my Nth attempt (Even while practicing my maneuvers for quite some time nonstop...) I finally was able to do it without screwing up and was able to keep going to the end.
You'll see I try to avoid the shoes like the plague. While it does make you go faster, I prefer the speed you go without them. Jumping on bubbles and whatnot is a bit easier without them.
You'll notice right before ending the ending the game, I call in the second player. This is because you get a better ending. Of course, to get the best ending, you would have to play through the super mode. I might get around to doing that eventually....
