I was waiting to see your run at this 😊😊 nice to see you giving it a go on. Solid effort and thank you for taking part 😊😊

[@retroprojections]

Thanks buddy! Not very good, but not too terrible.. first time playing. I knew I had a burned disc somewhere, with the game on it. I finally got it to work. 😅

[@raza_is_retro]

@@retroprojections a solid effort regardless mate ✌️

[@RetrogamerGenX]

Love it bro. Keep them coming. 👍👍

[@retroprojections]

Thanks my friend! 👊

[@Pjvenom1985]

Ah happy you gave it a go Jon pitty the version wasn't the best but the distorted music/slow down gave it a unique feel at least haha! Enjoyed this one mostly because it's very different to what I'd usually play. May the Bubble be with you.🕹⚡️🍀

[@retroprojections]

Ah yes.. for this one, for me at least.. one try is enough, even if it's not! 🤣 I'm happy that I got it to play, even if it plays, and was played, very badly! Cheers buddy!

[@gallowaygaming75]

Solid effort for not playing it before Jon buddy I could not stop.laughing with the slow down and music distortion 🤣 your commentary was class 🙂👍

[@retroprojections]

Thanks buddy! I was just trying to put on a brave face really! Completely in over my head with this game.

[@gallowaygaming75]

Ha ha I could tell you hated it mate 🤣

[@malvadaogms]

Hello mate and tnx for sharing. I came by another channel and subscribed. Big big like!

[@retroprojections]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@bundjohn]

…..there’s a port for the Dreamcast?!?! It’s awesome to see you taking part!!!

[@retroprojections]

Well.. this is a Dreamcast I'm playing on, but this port is probably just MAME. The Dreamcast CAN handle a game like this, easily.. but this one comes on a huge compilation disc.. and barely any of the titles have been optimized to run this way.

[@bundjohn]

@@retroprojections ah I see, that makes more sense as I couldn’t remember it being ported!

[@retrotap]

Yay you got it to work! 🎉 Looks pretty but sheeesh it does seem slow.

[@retroprojections]

It's only kinda working, it seems!!! 😂 One time is enough for me, even if it's not! 😅

[@playmooregames371]

Great game play! The music was driving me nuts though!

[@retroprojections]

Yeah, it's really terrible! 😩🎶😂 I've got two of these MAME discs, they have hundreds of games on them, but very few games seem to run well. Oh well, fun to take part! Thank you for watching!

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

1:10 Can't believe you've never played this classic before Jon, Well I guess at least this time someone else will have a chance to win 😂😂😂 1:38 The dream cast just can't handle The graphics Add everything that's happening in this game 😂 What's happening with the music ha ha, 3:27 You don't understand why people like it, Such blasphemy Jon 😂 , It brings me great joy to see That finally you will be Finishing the challenge near the bottom Rather than humiliating us all 😂 Have a wonderful mid summer Weekend mate, I will pull out some kind of attempt before the deadline

[@retroprojections]

Yeah, I bought this really cheap MAME disc for Dreamcast. It's got hundreds of games on it, and only a handful run well. Like I say to people, the Dreamcast CAN play almost ANYTHING.. the question is, should it?! 😂 Cheers buddy!

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

I loved playing this at the arcades back in the late 80s. Never had it for the console's back then though. Not sure why i never bought it.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Shame it's slowed down, buddy. That's hampered you a lot.

[@retroprojections]

Yep, slowdown was really hurting the feel of this one. I need to try to pick up a version for NES or Master System. Strange I don't have it, as it's a really common game. Cheers buddy!

[@KindaCool]

That poor Dreamcast hardware getting thrashed within an inch of its life chugging away at that Bubble Bobble port! 😮

[@retroprojections]

Yeah, it just can't handle the bubble! Some of the really simple games on this disc, run terribly.. and then you get Magician Lord as well as other Neo-Geo games, they play without a hitch. 🤷

[@KindaCool]

@@retroprojections I think the official emulation of Neo Geo games that were actually released pretty much solved a lot of the other games in the NG library as well on the Dreamcast. It just needed someone who didn’t care about proper licensing to go in and do their thing!

[@DadRacer]

Omg the slowdown is real!

[@retroprojections]

So is the terrible music! 🤣

[@pappabeargaming]

Very Nice gameplay, I'm just waiting for everyone to play so I can figure out which score to beat.....

[@retroprojections]

Oh, beat mine!!! 🤣

[@MockingjayYT]

I woner what it would be like to travel places via floating around in a bubble 🫧

[@retroprojections]

Probably a lot like driving a car. 🤣

[@askthecheesegaming3165]

Hi Jon have a blessed week buddy keep it up 🎉🎉

[@retroprojections]

Thanks Alex! How was the vacation?

[@askthecheesegaming3165]

@@retroprojections far too short, kids had a blast and that’s what matters most

[@retroprojections]

That's good to hear!

[@steve36207]

Good effort there bud especially considering the slow down 😂 strange how it runs so poor on the dreamcast

[@retroprojections]

Thanks bud. I saw how much fun you and Rodgy were having, I decided to give it a go myself! First time, probably the last time with this disc. 😅 Yeah, this port is not optimized to run with a CD ROM drive, as I can hear it loading the entire time I'm playing. It's most likely transferred from PC, and it's a really old bootleg. Cheers buddy!
