The problem with owning this is that @Zoë O'Connell and I are now perpetually earwormed by the Bubble Bobble music.
An 80s arcade machine against a breeze block wall. Zoe is playing it.

I wonder how my ears would accept the arcade version. Spent a fair amount of my childhood playing the C64 version 😀

@Gen X-Wing @Zoë O'Connell It’s the same tune. The SID version is slightly richer IMO (C64 is my canonical version too. Spent so long playing 2 player with my friend from school).

Had to look it up to be sure (I mean I have C64s and I have a MiSTer, but YouTube had to suffice for now:)). That title music on the C64 is fantastic, and the main theme is so much better to me.

I often wonder what would have happened if the SID hadn’t been crippled and would have been the 16 voices that was intended. Would have been bonkers 😀
