About The Game

Chack'n Pop is a platform arcade videogame. It's the predecessor of "Bubble Bobble", roundish yellow creature named Chack'n must fight against Monstas and Mightas.

Trivia

The graphics roms contain unused sprites for a character that looks identical to the mechanical wind-up 'Zen-Chan' that later appeared in "Bubble Bobble".

Even though Chack'n battles Monstas and Mightas in this game, he would fight on their side 13 years later in "Bubble Memories - The Story of Bubble Bobble III".
