Numskull Designs is incredibly proud to team up with TAITO for the eighth instalment in its Quarter Arcades range, BUBBLE BOBBLE! 2021 serves as the 35th Anniversary for this iconic platformer which first made its debut in arcades in 1986. One of the world’s most recognisable, quintessential arcade games, and our most-requested addition by fans, BUBBLE BOBBLE stars the Bubble Dragons in their quests to complete the 100 levels of the Cave of Monsters and save their girlfriends. As well as being one of the first games to feature multiple endings, BUBBLE BOBBLE is amazingly fun in both single-player and co-op mode.

The servers for the cutesy customizable platformer
LittleBigPlanet have been temporarily taken offline. Sony confirmed as much in a tweet earlier today, but a number of community members speaking to Eurogamer seem to suspect that a DDoS attack is to blame for the outage.
DDoS, or distributed denial-of-service, attacks are a persistent concern for online games, even those under the management of major game companies like Sony with sizable resources at their disposal.
Typically, the targeted attacks aim to flood servers for certain games or services with enough traffic to take them offline and make online features for the targeted games or platforms inaccessible to its players.
