Puzzle Bobble - an old favourite

I was browsing the internet for computer games – all in the name of research of course – when I stumbled across an online version of Puzzle Bobble. There were so many things I had to do that afternoon but unfortunately, like Tetris, it’s a very addictive game and not a lot got done. In fact it’s taken me a good while just to start writing this blog entry just because I’ve been having “just one more go”.

It’s your typical puzzle game – shoot coloured bubbles into one another to make them disappear – take too long and game over!
I have a special place in my heart for Puzzle Bobble as it’s one of the things that brought my husband and me together all those years ago. Although just poor university students we would spend far too much money on the arcade version of this game in the student union. But our future together was secured when he bought the console version for the Playstation. We no longer had to hang out at the student union to avoid doing uni work. We could now avoid it in the comfort of our own home.

And you know what the best thing about it is? When we play it in two player mode I can actually beat people. I’m rather good – although that’s not a challenge!

Right, I’d better be off to do some more… ahem…. research….
