Numskull Designs is incredibly proud to team up with Taito for the seventh instalment in its Quarter Arcades range!
One of the world’s most recognisable, iconic arcade games, and our most-requested addition for the range, Bubble Bobble stars the Bubble Dragons Bub and Bob in their quests to complete the 100 levels of the Cave of Monsters, defeat Baron Von Blubba, and rescue their girlfriends. As well as being one of the first games to feature multiple endings, Bubble Bobble is amazingly fun in both single-player or co-op mode.
This official, fully playable, highly collectible ¼ scale replica features our first ever dual-joystick gameplay, authentic to the classic game. Due to the original not having a dedicated cabinet design, we have worked closely with Taito to create this one-of-a-kind cabinet, including the original ROM and artwork, as well as official marquee, bezel, and control panel artwork from Taito designers. This collectible miniaturises the classic in an official, authentic way for the very first time, providing a dedicated cabinet long sought after by fans.
