Bubble Bus Software

Mark, what's grabbed you about today's one?

It's a proper underground maze today, Lee, and Bubble Bus have sent a little blob into a planet that is about to explode.

Starquake asks you to rebuild the core before everything goes bang, and I want to know whether Crash really meant that ninety-six percent smash and whether the later Commodore and Amstrad ports kept the same magic.

Spoiler, the Spectrum side of the newsstand basically, uh, lost its mind.

So here's the date, uh, Thursday, the third of October, nineteen eighty-five.

Bubble Bus put Starquake on the Spectrum shelves today with Steve Crow writing the code and the tunes.

The Commodore sixty-four and Amstrad versions follow in '86, and we will hear all three.

Before we drop into the planet, let's set the scene with what was on the radio.
