Bubble Bobble 1986 Mug

Bubble Bobble was originally released in 1986 as an arcade game in Japan. Players control one of two dragons named Bub and Bob, who need to save their girlfriends from the Cave of Monsters. In each level, players must defeat enemies by trapping them in bubbles Bub and Bob blow. Popping the bubbles sends enemies crashing to the ground, which causes them to release bonus items. The game was designed around two-player gameplay, so by inserting another coin, the second dragon can be controlled. Bubble Bobble was ported to many home computer and video game consoles, remaining a popular title throughout the '80s and '90s.
