Today was a splendid day. James and I DEFEATED BUBBLE BOBBLE!
What's Bubble Bobble, you ask?! It's only the coolest Nintendo game ever (thank you 1988...) and we BEAT IT! Now, if you know James, you know that beating games is just second nature- in fact, why play a game if you aren't going to beat it?! Well, I am not quite the gamer James is.
I began the quest of beating Bubble Bobble over 20 years ago- and I never beat it. I did get to the final level (so I thought), but I never BEAT it. Today, with James on my side, we beat it. We beat Bubble Bobble (99 levels and shocked the bad guy 60 times), saw the "This is not the true ending" message, beat the 98 levels of "Super Bubble Bobble," got the crystal ball AND used the secret door and then proceeded to beat the final level where you have to shock the bad guy 80 times. At that point we got to see the dinosaurs turn back into people and save their true loves, and then we saw the congratulations sign and the theater curtains close.
The best part? The message we received at the end of the game: "The most important thing in the world is love and friendship." Awwww.
I am so incredibly excited, as the only games I've ever beaten are the Super Mario brothers games (shout out to Rach, Jonny, and Elizabeth Jaggi Shah) and Deal or No Deal (I won the million on both players when playing a two player game- it was amazing.)
Yay for Bubble Bobble! Yay for true love! Yay for friendship! Yay for a honey that helped add another game to my "Beaten" list! Yay to kiddies who cheered us on and took turns 'helping us beat it.' Yay for Saturday! :-) WAHOO!!! Yay for Bubble Bobble fans everywhere who can appreciate this post. ;-) you know who you are!

That was a fun post to read. It made me smile. Congratulations!
I am very jealous. I have gotten to the bad guy so many times and never stuck with it...maybe that'll have to be Marsh and my next Saturday.
Yay for You! :)
Oh my gosh BUBBLE BOBBLE is my FAVORITE GAME hands down! One of our friends got it on their Wii and now I'm convinced I need to buy a Wii so I can play it again. I can play it for hours straight-- which you have to do in order to get through all 99 levels! But, it's such a fun, yet simple game. Dagnabit. I wish I could play it right now!
