Bubbles, published by Williams in 1982, brings the chaser-and-chased formula of the post-Pac-Man era to an unusual domestic setting: the player controls a soap bubble that must clean grease stains in the sink while dodging cockroaches and spiders. It's one of the most extravagant examples of the early-80s maze-clone fever. Today it's remembered mostly for that very particular premise: a sign of the enormous creativity, and sometimes bewilderment, with which the industry tried to stand out within a genre that in just two years was already saturated with imitators.
