Bubble Ghost (Amstrad CPC 6128)
A downloadable game
Bubble Ghost for the Amstrad CPC 6128 – a fan conversion of the 1990 Game Boy game.
You are a friendly ghost with one job: steer a fragile soap bubble through the 35 halls of a spooky castle. You can't touch it – you can only blow it along. Snuff out candles, dodge spikes, fans and fellow spooks, and puff your bubble to the exit before the bonus runs out.
Features
- All 35 halls, their hazards and devices, and the ending
- Faithful Game Boy graphics in a Game Boy style frame
- The original music and sound effects on the CPC's AY chip
- Loading screen from the original box art

Hi, I loaded this on RetroVirtualMachine using both a standard 6128 and a 6128+, and I can't get past the title screen. Pressing space, M, Return or Fire on my pad doesn't work, it just cycles through the "PUSH START" title screen.
I've recreated the bug and I'll try a patch tomorrow. In the meantime it should work in the caprice32 core on Retroarch
Thanks! I don’t use Retroarch but will look forward to trying the updated version.
With Caprice32 works fine !!!

I haven't managed to get past the third screen; I don't know if there's something special I need to do—the bubble always pops!!!
Have you blown out the candle? You need to leave the bubble at the start and move close, facing the candle then blow. There are quite a few other objects to interact with later on. If you get stuck there are also some cheat keys!
