About Puzzle Bobble 3 (Ver 2.1O 1996/09/27)
The Taito F3 hardware drives this bubble-matching puzzle game where players aim and shoot colored bubbles at a ceiling. Connecting three or more identical colors causes the bubbles to pop, clearing space to prevent the descending cluster from reaching the bottom of the screen.
Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.
If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.
