Who said video games don't promote family memories?

[@lucasart328]

my mother used to play this early 2000s sorry for your father man. my mother is still here but its veru nostalgic

[@PeterDivine]

The eagerness of creating a chain of bubbles with the intention to collapse it at the base later, only to realize in dread that you've blocked off your own firing ability with said chain before you can do so. Nostalgia, man.

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

And of course, any laundromat is incomplete without this game.

[@hellofaname]

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

@@hellofaname Yep, that is also a classic 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

@Josmar Moreno I take it you also live in Los Angeles? Puzzle Bobble (the whole Neo-Geo arcade machine) is usually the first game I see at any laundromat here in South Central LA or in Inglewood.

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

@@kevincruz290 I still play it from time to time when I have a few quarters to spare

This game is legit one of my first memories. This is crazy.

[@FluffyDragonGoesRawr]

I can agree with this

[@Ghost-lt4sf]

I played this on an old arcade machine in some food place mom would take me to more than 15 yrs ago, and I have had this song stuck in my head ever since. The search is over. That braincell can finally rest. 😅

Just like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Street Fighter II.

Always played this during my Summer holidays in Italy...it was popular back then in 1997.

[@diablow1411]

My dad got a CD with NeoGeo emulator with some games and this was shipped with it. It was fun playing it up to level 120. And I'm talking about like 2001 when I played it. :')

[@MystikGaming20]

I just remembered this game. It's my mom's favorite, I'm installing it right now on my computer, she will be happy

How hearty! :D

It's my grandma's favourite! Did it, despite the fact of some Win10 incompability difficulty. She is happy!

This game and also Metal Slug and Cruisn USA was at the local video store when I was a kid in the nineties. Memories man 🥹

[@Bloodreign1]

Chances are, if you ran into a Neo Geo 4 slot MVS cab, this game was in it.

[@delacroix9116]

One of the happiest moment of my childhood was when i played Puzzle Bobble in my uncle's arcade saloon

[@justanotherf2ppotatogamer61]

Nostalgia hits me just watching this guy play arcade games

[@Galaviste]

One of my many favorite arcade games ever.

[@scukentaggeets3372]

The soundtrack is forever imbedded in my head

[@HiroiSekai]

No other arcade game brings back memories like when you put the token in the Puzzle Bobble machine, hit start and hear that level music. Oh man, it's perfect.

[@pyrofreak3402]

"BUST A MOVE" is another name for this game

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

True, but Puzzle Bobble just sounds cooler 😊

[@shiningcomet]

pyrofreak I wish they make a version of it on IPhone

[@owaing]

@@shiningcomet There is one. It's called Puzzle Bobble Journey. It's made by Taito, but isn't an exact copy of the original, and has microtransactions.

[@angelriverasantana7755]

@@hoodmistressreloaded I mean, the Bust-A-Move name caused a confusion when Sony released a series called Bust A Move, the name got changed when released in the west cuz of the western Puzzle Bobble releases, so they called it Bust A Groove

If your local laundry didnt have this game or asked your mom for coins then you never had a childhood.

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

That was me during my college days (excluding mom, of course 😊). If I wasn't blowing money on Marvel vs Capcom 2 at the laundromat, then I was playing Puzzle Bobble

[@hellofaname]

Henry Mateo it was either this or metal slug

[@TwilightLink77]

Actually I used to play this at a donut shop.

[@KhanMann66]

They still had these in my local laundry mat up until 2012.

[@IEnteredShikari]

The 90s had the best games :')

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

I actually remembered seeing this in a local fast food restaurant were it comes with 4 in 1 arcade games

[@Caffeinatedcobus]

I could listen the background music for hours

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

I never understood why its title had to be changed in the West, Bust-A-Move makes no sense because this is a spin-off of Bubble Bobble so Puzzle Bobble was more fitting for this kind of game.

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

We still called it Puzzle Bobble in the west, even if some machines did have the "Bust-A-Move" title. The original name just had more pull.

[@ilovekatsumi]

Yeah.. i got a gbc 30 best games collection cartridge and all games called bust a move 4,Bust a move 3

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

@Grahamhg Not exactly sure since I wasn't around during the 80s, but most Americans really had the habit of writing off anything cute as "uncool". Hence why some games had their box arts and/or titles changed while others had a graphical overhaul.

[@hoodmistressreloaded]

@Grahamhg We also call it Puzzle Bobble in the US.

[@deanthompson88]

@Grahamhg The branding was always weired with those games in England, It was Puzzle Bobble in the arcade but the console versions were all called Bust-a-Move up untill a few years ago with the 3DS one, Puzzle Bobble Universe. The case art was always hilariously bad for the Bust-a-Move games as well, look it up if you're too young to remember, the whole thing just makes no sense at all, most of the 80's Japanese companies had absolutely no idea how to market things in the west lol.

[@jdng86]

One of the few arcade games to outlast the death of arcades, alongside Golden Tee, Cruis'n USA, and that Terminator Salvation game no one played.

[@makkypak415]

Played this in the Knotts Berry Farm hotel arcade a long time ago.

[@blind_t2]

aaaaaaay! i actually played this in a las vegas hotel arcade way back

[@yunhohwang8872]

My memories in this game. Is very nostalgic.

[@purwantiallan5089]

This Puzzle Bobble is insane.

[@PhirePhlame]

What's funny is that this is actually a port. The original Japanese release was done on a dedicated non-Neogeo hardware set.

[@BlueFalconPunch07]

Also was released in the US as Bust a Move too, with different music changes per bunch of levels!

[@ioannishussein8038]

This game was astonishing. The music plays faster if the bubbles are closer to your Death Line. If the bubbles hit the Death Line, the game is over.

[@halfshellmollusk]

It's truly mind bending

[@chrismercer96]

I used to play this game on my lunch break almost every day in grade 8. The pizza shop nearby had the cabinet. It was in bad condition and the plastic or glass over the screen was a bit scuffed up, but that never stopped me from enjoying it.

I'd always die at round 8. But one time I made it past round 25. Coke does wonders.

13 is so rng. Purposely made so so lose and fork more money.

[@Baburun-Sama]

In America, This is called "Bust-a-Move".

[@Bloodreign1]

The one time I saw this in an arcade, PB 2 at least, it was in a Neo Geo cabinet, and was called Puzzle Bobble 2. It almost threw me off when I went to Montgomery Ward as a kid, and saw a game on the PS1, looked very, VERY familiar, but had the Bust A Move game. Right then and there, I recognized the game, and knew what it was, and my mom got it for me.

[@KHALID-ip7jr]

Lmao this music was so warm and fuzzy. I could keep playing for hours

Fucking loved this game I used to play this game at a taco shop here in san diego lol good memories

[@mariodykstra6555]

I’m Curious about why they would change the name to “Bust-a-Move” in America and why it didn't retain the original intro's footage nor have the same theme song.

[@Bloodreign1]

The home versions bore the Bust A Move name, the reasoning behind the name change to BAM is an odd one, when the Puzzle Bobble name is good enough and older players would recognize the Bobble in the name, and the characters in the game. Yeah, the Bust A Move name is dumb, and should've been left to the Bust A Groove series, as it would make more sense for that series.

[@jonathanwilliams4257]
