Peaches Records & Tapes was a Los Angeles-based chain of record superstores, some as large as 15,000 square feet. They were known for its vast selection, with many locations in buildings the size of a typical grocery store, reportedly stocking $500,000 in inventory. Peaches were also known for in-store events with bands and artists, huge murals of the latest album covers on the side of its buildings and for selling records from fruit-crates. The first store opened on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles in 1975 and later that year, a second was opened in Atlanta. At its peak, Peaches had 50 stores in 22 cities with over 2,000 employees. In June 1981, Peaches filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 citing $20 million in debt.

Bubble Bobble was originally released in 1986 as an arcade game in Japan. Players control one of two dragons named Bub and Bob, who need to save their girlfriends from the Cave of Monsters. In each level, players must defeat enemies by trapping them in bubbles Bub and Bob blow. Popping the bubbles sends enemies crashing to the ground, which causes them to release bonus items. The game was designed around two-player gameplay, so by inserting another coin, the second dragon can be controlled. Bubble Bobble was ported to many home computer and video game consoles, remaining a popular title throughout the '80s and '90s.
