   I bought this game more for nostalgic reasons than anything else….I always loved earning yarn balls, riding the roller coasters in the theme park levels, and squishing the evil aliens. Playing in now, though, is much different than back then. It’s nearly dull, especially compared to today’s life-like graphics and movie-like storylines. I reflect that’s why I like it, though: it’s unadorned. Jump on the aliens; collect the yarn; win.

   I can’t even remember how I first found out about Bubsy, but I’m really glad I did. This is a game that never gets ancient, even for a mainly-RPG-fan like me. Bubsy is a goofy, comical bobcat who wears a T-shirt and no pants, and likes to run, jump, and roll around with the best of ‘em. You can collect colorful yarn balls, T-shirts, and globes for points, and at the same time get squished by jumping hot dogs, ice cream cones, and rolling cheese wheels. You can jump on a case of explode and soar owing to the air like a bird, or step on a tack and be deflated and glide away like a balloon. You can even be rescued by a turtle when your river raft is eaten by alligators. The main enemies are Woolies, orange space aliens with ragdoll hair and no arms who frequently shamble back and forth, blow their noses at you, and are skilled at looking impatient and grouchy. If you don’t jump on their heads first, or correctly, they can choose to decimate you in several fascinating ways: making a cheese wheel and rolling it at you, slicing you in half; jumping exuberantly back and forth for no reason and flattening you into a pancake if you walk under them; rolling a cheese wheel at you from the top of a hill, causing it to crash into you and knock you end over end in a gratuitous ballet until you reach the bottom; firing laser guns at you in the future level with their feet; throwing eggs at you with their feet, causing you to shatter and fall to a thousand pieces; or simply walking up to you and blowing their noses, which knocks you unconscious enough to have to start the level over. By the side of with a few voice-acted asinine shape at each level’s start and some asinine sound effects, this game is incredibly droll, and contains sixteen levels of very appealing graphics considering the year and the system. The music is fun, though not overly thought-provoking; but my only real complaint about this game is what seem to be a few bugs in the general gameplay. Every once in a while, I get stuck underneath an object or low ledge, or next to the parapet on the outside ledges of the train cars in the wild west levels. Sometimes you can go off the screen and then not be able to come back, either; or go back slightly when you jump onto a ledge, causing you to touch something you don’t want to. But, these things don’t happen often enough to make the game unplayable.

   Bubsy is splendid, in a word. If it weren’t for this game, I would probably never play platformers at all.

   In this game you are a cat who in the course of collecting yarnballs save the universe from certain alien destruction. You also wear a t-shirt with and exclamation point and have nine lives (YES!!). It’s goofy and fun. I sod my original system but now I realize that sports meeting today just aren’t fun anymore. So, I’m reduction up for an SNES and all my ancient sports meeting. Yippee! This is going to be one of the first I buy back!!
