Everybody knows (or should know) this follow-up to Bubble Bobble.
A great Arcade to Amiga conversion, with few differences like 25fps instead of 50 and, above all, the disappearance of the secret islands, which were discovered by the development team quite late in the conversion process.
It was released very late (1989-1990), as the original publisher, Firebird, went down after the death of Robert Maxwell. Eventually, a deal was reached with Ocean, who published it.
Two musicians were approached for this game: Steve Turner (who was selected) and Matt Furniss. The Matt Furniss version of the main theme is included as a bonus and is quite different in terms of arrangement.
Fun fact: the main theme is a rendition of "Over the Rainbow", which led to legal issues for Taito, who settled and released an updated version of the arcade game that includes a different main theme.
