Key points
- DOS version of Puzzle Bobble 2 released by Acclaim.
- Has the content from Puzzle Bobble 2X, a later arcade re-release of Puzzle Bobble 2.
- Isn't a direct port of the original arcade version like the Windows version, resulting in missing and/or sped-up sprite animations and off-cue music.
