Which company created both Puzzle De Pon and Puzzle Bobble?
Puzzle Bobble Puzzle Bobble (Japanese: パズルボブル , Hepburn: Pazuru Boburu ) , also known as Bust-a-Move in North America, is a 1994 tile-matching arcade puzzle video game for one or two players created by Taito Corporation. It is based on Taito's popular 1986 arcade game "Bubble Bobble", featuring characters and themes from that game. Its characteristically cute Japanese animation and music, along with its play mechanics and level designs, made it successful as an arcade title and spawned several sequels and ports to home gaming systems.
ThinkFun ThinkFun was founded in 1985 in the basement of husband and wife team Bill Ritchie and Andrea Barthello, with the mission "To translate the brilliant ideas of the craziest mathematicians, engineers and inventors into simple toys that can be appreciated by boys and girls around the world." The 1980s were a difficult time in the toy industry. Retailers were moving away from games, and the Rubik's Cube, which had broken through in the mass market, was losing popularity. In 1990 the retail market transformed and the number of shopping malls began to increase rapidly. Retail-lifestyle stores looking for specialty products discovered ThinkFun’s games and the company grew. From 1992 to 1994, ThinkFun was listed on Inc 500's fastest growing companies list (#299 in 1992, #261 in 1993 and #396 in 1994).
