I miss Rainbow Islands with "somewhere over the rainbow" as the theme tune.
Apparently copyright happened 😪 so we get a slightly off happy tune in the style of the original unless you use the original ROMS through MAME.
The Nintendo Switch version has the new song and it's lovely, but it doesn't take me back to being in the Superbowl 2000 pushing 10p coins into the machine.
It's the only arcade machine I ever completed, although we did an epic Bubble Bobble run once too.
Note that DOH also appears in the Bubble Bobble series, starting with the second game, Rainbow Islands 🌈
