I was never able to complete Bubble Bobble without using saved states, and for some reason everyone keeps saying that the game was easy.

I think it was intended to be a 2-player game, as leat it made it considerably easier and more fun. I had the C64 version and I think I did manage to complete it by myself once, but there were some levels that were clearly meant for two people (one in the 90s I remember you were trapped in a side, you'd have to bounce all the way up on one of your own bubbles, then drop down the other side and somehow kill 3 enemies without being hit by them, crazy). The key to a good game was the doors, which I don't think many people know about. If you got to level 20 without losing a life (or in 2-player mode if just one of you manages it) the regular item is replaced by a door which gives you lots of gems and so points and also skips the next level. This carries on every 10 levels, and at 50 the door skips you all the way to level 70. Maybe I played this game a bit too much, but it was definitely one of my favourites too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
