That's always a nice bonus :)<br /><br />I completely forgot about Ptolemy showing up in Bubble Symphony, by the way. Yet another reason I have to spend some quality time with that game soon!Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-26947844445933952412012-08-01T09:19:38.089-07:002012-08-01T09:19:38.089-07:00Hey there, Linnea!

Not sure why it took me until yesterday to finally write it up.

They also made Don Doko Don, for instance, which is much more similar to The Fairyland Story than it is to Bubble Bobble. <br /><br />As for The Fairyland Story being linked, mythologically or otherwise, to Bubble Bobble: Not that I know of. I'm guessing the same folks worked on both games, though, hence the fact that some of The Fairyland Story's items appear in Bubble Bobble.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-80079964580656134022012-08-01T09:15:46.336-07:002012-08-01T09:15:46.336-07:00Simon: Well, then, I look forward to hearing your ...Simon: Well, then, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this game. It's very nice, in my opinion, but not amazing -- due, mostly, to its rather repetitive graphics. After a while, it feels like you're just playing the same board over and over again, you know? At least Bubble Bobble kept things interesting by making each board/screen unique.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-62257465874505324612012-08-01T07:44:36.140-07:002012-08-01T07:44:36.140-07:00Thanks for turning me onto this.
