Key points
- Compilation of Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands, with a new DOS port of Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands receiving an official DOS port.
- Both games featured in the collection are not exactly arcade-accurate ports like they claim to be, leading to minor inaccuracies in Bubble Bobble, and the secret islands missing entirely in Rainbow Islands.
- The music in Rainbow Islands is altered due to licensing issues.
