One of the first, if not the first of these games was Bubble Bobble released in 1986. From this simple game came a revolution. Released over several different forms of computer, console and handheld devices such as Gameboy Bubble Bobble was hugely popular. With 2 cute lizard characters and a simple bubble popping gameplay Bubble Bobble started to take over the world.

Since then there have been hundreds of incarnations of the bubble game. using a variety of characters, but the simple idea behind the game remains true through all of them. Match a brightly coloured ball(bubble) with 2 or more of the same colour to make them go pop. Scoring points and clearing levels.

Some games ask you to rescue princesses, or help cute animals, or just play for the fun of clearing levels and getting a lot of points. But in all cases the games are bright, and easy to play. That does not mean that the levels are easy to complete, just that all you need to do is move the pointer to where you want the shooter to put the bubble.

Bubble game designers have come up with some interesting new things over the years, from timed games to extra powerups and everything in between there is a bubble game for everyone.
