Magic Bubble

Magic Bubble is a two-player puzzle game released around 1998 by Yun Sung. Players aim to clear bubbles from the screen by strategically launching matching colored bubbles towards clusters of similar ones, causing them to disappear. The objective is to eliminate all bubbles before they reach the bottom or before your opponent does on their side of the display. The gameplay closely mirrors that of Taito's Puzzle Bobble series, featuring a familiar mechanic centered around spatial reasoning and quick reflexes. While the core mechanics remain consistent with its inspiration, Magic Bubble distinguishes itself through altered graphics and music—including backgrounds seemingly borrowed from games like Earthworm Jim 2 and Rayman. Beneath its colorful exterior, the game utilizes robust hardware; a Motorola 68000 processor handles gameplay while a Zilog Z80 manages sound effects. The high score table is dominated by names associated with Yun Sung, suggesting internal testing or development records.
