Dr. Slump: Operation Bubble is an action game published by Enix and released in 1984 for the PC-6001 mkII and PC-6601 microcomputers in Japan.
Title
The title of Dr. Slump: Operation Bubble can be broken down as:
- "Dr. Slump" (Dr.スランプ Dokutā Suranpu): The overall franchise to which this game is based on
- "Bubble" (バブル Buburu): The English word "Bubble"
- "Operation" (大作戦 Daisakusen): This is a "big" or "large" (大) "mission" or "operation" (作戦). This kind of titling is often rendered as "Operation: [insert other word/phrase here]", as one might be in a skirmish or invasion. An alliterative alternate translation of "Bubble Blitz" for this particular game is often used in other English-language documentation.[a]
Gameplay
The back of the box describes the game:[1]
Winner of the Shonen Jump Idea Contest. You can freely control the Gatchan, who are riding on top of soap bubbles, scrolling through the sky in every direction. "Oh, no! Dr. Mashirito and the poop bombs came to pop the soap bubbles!" Flap away from there! You'll roar with laughter seeing the Gatchans' funny jumps. "Cool! I got some wings! Now to take care of some enemies!"
Development
Dr. Slump: Operation Bubble was programmed over a nine-month development period:[1]
JAPANESE TRANSCRIPTION TBD
Creator: Koji Okamoto. Born in 1951, in Osaka Prefecture. Currently living in Fukuoka Prefecture, where he is employed at a public corporation. Has three years of experience with microcomputers. Has been hammering away at his keyboard solely focused on this game for the past nine months. He's really proud of it, having poured his all into this heartwarming fairy tail in the shape of a real-time game. He would also like for you to pay especially close attention to the Gatchans' funny jumps.
