Bubble Bobble - Developer Secrets

According to the credits at an rate, Bubble Bobble had a small development team by today's standards (although not unusual in size for that time).

Interestingly the top four people in the credits all had their own level and high score table cheat.

MTJ / MITSUJI (Game Designer)

His initials can be seen in level 92.

Entering his initials in the high score table activates the coke can secret on level 1.

ICH / FUJISUE (Programmer)

Not he same as the credits, but his initials I.F. can be seen in level 93.

Entering I.F in the high score table activates the coke can secret on level 1.

NSO / NISHIYORI (Programmer)

His initials can be seen in level 94.

Entering his initials in the high score table activates the coke can secret on level 1.

KIM / KIMIJIMA (Sound)

His extended initials (KIMI) can be seen in level 85.

Entering his initials in the high score table activates the coke can secret on level 1.

YSH / YOSHIDA (Instruction)

YSH doesn't have his own level (unfortunately for him), but he was included in the high score cheat. Enter his initials in the high score table to activate the coke can secret on level 1.

TAK / STR / KTT

There are 3 other high score entry's that look like peoples initials TAK / STR / KTT - but none of these seem to match the initials of other people in the credits. Who knows who (if anyone) they belong too...

Score Board Cheats

Below is the full list of high score table cheats. Simply enter the initials into the high score table to get the secret in the next game started.

Note: If you add 'SEX' to the scoreboard it's changed to 'H.!' - It has been suggested that this is local slang for 'Pervert' - although I couldn't tell you if there's any truth in that or not...
