Nostalgia, it's a beautiful thing. We all suffer from it and far too many times have there been mass debates (sorry) at the local hostelry about how great certain game were and how they were so much better than the ones of today. And then you manage to 'acquire' a version from the net and download it to your PC in it's full glory with an impact of knocking your rose tinted glasses to the floor and forcefully grinding it into the Tarmac.

Yes the majority of those classic game fall well short of our colourful memories but every now and then one sticks its head above the rest and proves that there were indeed a few of the oldies that even by today standards are pretty bloody good.

Bubble Bobble is one such game, and thanks to Empire Interactive you'll now be able to take a blast from the past - launch yourself into the bubble blowing euphoria is the Taito-developed game on your trusty Game Boy AdvanceTM.

But if that wasn't enough, the Game Boy AdvanceTM version of Bubble Bobble Old & New will (possibly obviously?) contain 'Old' and 'New' versions of the game - with 'Old' being a perfect conversion of the original arcade game, and 'New' featuring all new (surprise!) graphics, music & sounds, level layouts and items.

To give some idea of Taito's excellent credentials, you may know of one or more of these games...
Space Invaders, Bust-A-Move, Darius (no not the pop star you funny people), Ninja Warriors, RayStorm, and Elevator Action...

So, pick up your GBA and start blowing more bubbles than a rabid West Ham supporter.
