Revisional Differences#
Bubble Bath Babes was originally titled Soap Panic, being commissioned by Hacker International in Japan through Taiwanese developer C&E. It was later modified and released in the United States by Taiwanese company Panesian as Bubble Bath Babes. Later, C&E released the game themselves with modifications as Magic Bubble. This version was later modified by American Video Entertainment as Mermaids of Atlantis: The Riddle of the Magic Bubble.
