Parsol Stars is another excelent translation to US from Working Designs. Parsol Stars is the third installment of the Bubble Bobble series. This an excellent game with vibrant colors, large characters, decent music and sound, and most important, it is a blast to play (especially with 2 people). This is must have for all TG16 owners and all Buble Bobble fans!
Ah, finally a Bubble Bobble game that doesn\'t suck in one way or another. Parsol Stars: Bubble Bobble 3 is great fun alone, and especially with two players. Graphics are a step or three up from the pitiful offering in Rainbow Islands (Bubble Bobble 2). Interesting that this game was released on a HuCard, and Rainbow was a CD, considering how much better Parasol is in every respect. Characters and enemies are large and colorful. Levels are fun and the backgrounds are nice. The young kid is back again, this time with an umbrella. Gone are the goofy rainbows and back are the bubbles, this time filled with water. Instead of blowing bubbles, you can now catch them with your umbrella and throw them gleefully at oncoming foe. Sound effects are standard fare, gfx are nice, and the music doesn\'t get annoying although the same song is used in every level. The bosses are quite big and lots of fun to take out in 2 player mode. There are a few secrets to find along the way, one of which gives you 99 lives. Recommended!
RULES. One of the best turbo/pc-engine hucards- I'd put it in top five actually- it's that good. A forking blast.
This gem is the reason I got the system. A fantastic experience from beginning to end. Great colors and great animation.
