Bubble Bobble (1989)
Ever seen a dragon eat soap? Me neither, but the effect seems to be visible in Bubble Bobble. Two cute dragons, which you can control one of, or both as it's standard in two-player mode, blow colorful bubbles to just as colorful enemies. These enemies resemble random doodlings most of the time and you have to pop the bubble after capturing them inside it. When you burst the enemy's bubble, it turns into a piece of fruit you can eat for extra points. The goal of each level is to bubble all enemies and pop them.
The gameplay is self-explanatory. Put your three-year old little nephew behind this game and he'll be able to play it within five minutes, only having trouble understanding he should capture the enemies in the bubble, then jump to it. You just use the cursors and the alt-button, although you can always remap them to suit your needs. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. It's just like those one-buttoned joysticks from back in the days.
As for the story... well, to be frank, does it need one? Beat this game and there's a certain someone who hasn't left his computer for days. This game is just a fun way to pass time, trying to get as much points as you can while enjoying the fun, colorful look of the game and the cuteness of the characters. Any attempt of story would only make the game less fun, as it'd get in the way of playing it. It's perfect for killing half an hour of lunchbreak and be carefree for that time.
