Its not a simple modification, but a professional-level fan project that gives Commodore 64 owners a full-fledged sequel nearly 40 years after the original release. This release is based on the original 1987 C64 port, but modernizes and expands it in every way.
Lost Cave was originally a 2012 arcade ROM hack that collected levels omitted from the original arcade version, which Taito had created for various console ports (e.g., NES, Game Boy).
Features
- 100 new levels from TAITO’s console ports of Bubble Bobble, faithfully adapted to the C64 engine
- Level layouts recreated with arcade accuracy in mind
- Carefully reproduced bubble airflows within C64 memory limits
- Gameplay adjustments to better fit the C64 game engine
- Selected new bonus items straight from the original console versions
- Optional Two-Button Controls (jump on Button 2), just like the arcade
- Remastered visuals, fully consistent with Bubble Bobble C64 Remastered
- A pay-what-you-want fan-made project, created by fans, for fans
The adaptation was made possible thanks to the invaluable collaboration of Andrea “Bisboch” Babich, co-creator of the original Lost Cave project, who provided complete level data and personally verified the accuracy of the C64 conversion.
