Straight To Home Systems
Unlike many of the other games in the series, this game was never released to arcades - it was first released on the PC Engine, and has been ported to a number of other home systems. Parasol Stars was misreported as being the third coin-op in the Bubble Bobble series by many magazines at the time, and there are rumours about prototypes for an arcade version, which now appear to be false; Taito has officially stated that an arcade game was never produced. Mick West (who was the programmer of the Game Boy version) stated that they ported the game directly from the PC Engine and that "no coin-op of the game exists".
The game was released in limited quantities in North America for the TurboGrafx-16 by Working Designs. The Game Boy version was published by Ocean Software. The game was also planned for the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum but scrapped.
Parasol Stars was released in Europe for the NES and Game Boy.

Famous quotes containing the words straight, home and/or systems:
“A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see things but how we see them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“He makes his home where the living is best.”
—Latin proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
