I’m a big fan of the game Bubble Ghost and this Amstrad CPC conversion is up there with the best of the 8-bit versions.

The chunky, colourful graphics are nice (very close to the Atari ST original in fact), and the feel of the controls is spot on.

The idea is: you play a ghost who has to blow bubbles through a maze of rooms, each with a variety of bubble-blowing (and popping) traps. As you progress, the going gets ever tougher.

It’s a great game but does have a ‘wall’ that is difficult to get past. I would love to see the Bubble Ghost idea taken further.
