Puzzle De Pon! Description

Using a special launcher, you fire colored bubbles in an attempt to make matches and dislodge a plate at the top of the screen. After dropping the plate, you advance to the next level. The game ends when the bubbles get so piled up that they reach the bottom of the screen.

Cabinet Information

The game is often housed in a standard Neo-Geo cabinet.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

Clearing spheres more than three at a time produces a big bonus. This is possible by building up two groups of two, of the same color, and then linking them to make a five-sphere clearance.

Game Introduction

The game is similar to Bust-A-Move, but as well as having to link three or more spheres of the same color together to eliminate them, you have to clear all the spheres away from a "plate", which drops down when the supporting spheres are destroyed. While playing against an opponent, if more than three spheres are removed at once, they will be added to the collection on the other player's screen.

Miscellaneous

LICENSOR: Visco

This game is very similar in approach to the Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble series.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Common - There are 41 known instances of Puzzle De Pon! owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 41 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 20 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. There is one VAPS member looking for a Puzzle De Pon! circuit board set.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
