INSTRUCTIONS
Bub and Bob are little dinosaurs who can blow bubbles and jump around a lot. The idea of the game is to jump around the screen catching the baddies in bubbles and then popping them, turning the baddies into fruit or other such pick-upable item.
To catch a baddy inside a bubble, simply shoot the bubble into the baddy. The bubbles have limited range so you have to move in quite close. To pop the bubbles, simply walk into them or jump on top of them.
If you take too long, the indestructable Baron Von-Blubba would appear and kill you after a little chase around the screen. The only way to get rid of him is to complete the level.. or to die..

"This has always been a favourite of mine, but as has been said, the CPC version is lacking the sound and speed of the original. The graphics are not that bad, and overall it`s not too bad a conversion."

"Yer if only it had better GFX & SFX & a tune & it was a little faster... then it would have been a real classic... damn coders forgot to put in music and decent sounds on cpc version - not happy!!! "
Gryzor says
"Despite the freakiness of some of the sprites (Bub and Bob never had it so bad, not even on the speccy!), a really enjoyable conversion. If only it had better graphics it`d have been a classic..."

"Really bad, awkward and slow version of the arcade original. The graphics are terrible... stick to the Speccy or C64 version. "
