Platform: Atari ST
Year: 1990
Developer: Infogrames S.A.

Bubble + is a graphical revamp of Christophe Andréani's Bubble Ghost (AST). Whether Andréani was involved is unknown, especially due to a dispute. The code is identical to the Accolade release of Bubble Ghost, which added a 2-player option, a practice mode, a better demo, and removed a laser in hall 25.

Besides, same old anger.

Music

Andréani's original welcome speech has been replaced with a jingle with exactly the same duration and quality. All 46 sound effects are kept. Each hall has its own sound effect, looped at random and either spooky or mechanical. The driver is a synthesizer which adds ADSR, pitch bends, tremolo and vibrato, all clocked at 200 Hz. It even has a note table, if only used for bonus. Starting with the Accolade release, all sound can be toggled by pressing Ctrl+S, but the volumes are also less balanced.

Recording

Title was recorded from the title screen in Hatari v2.2.1. Unused was recorded the same way after swapping both files.
