www.indieretronews.com takes a closer look at the latest development.
Bubble Bobble: Lost Cave is a fan-made, pay-what-you-want sequel that adapts the 2012 arcade hack Lost Cave and 100 extra levels originally created by TAITO for console versions, bringing them to the Commodore 64 using the engine of Bubble Bobble Remastered.

The release marks the first true spiritual sequel to Bubble Bobble on the C64 in 39 years.
