I played Bubsy 2 when I was a kid on my Genesis. I loved the game so much, that as a ten-year-old, I sent the studio a letter telling them how much I loved their game and if they had any merchandise anywhere that I could buy to remind me of Bubsy. They sent me a care package of posters, folders, and a mouse pad that somebody in the office was probably using since it had numbers scrawled on it, since I expect that the original crew was no longer in the office and they had to scrounge to find me some stuff. It was very magical for me, and I can't hate Bubsy no matter how bad the games did. Just the fact that a bunch of people went out of their way to send a ten-year-old a little care package about a game that apparently didn't even do that good is really something special.

If using a "Unlock all levels" cheat code and pretending that you've beaten the whole game is beating the whole game then okay. In his review he complains about Bubsy constantly talking wich is not true. in the later levels Bubsy barely says anything. (Wich means that hasn't gotten that far) He also usually shows beginning of the levels. (Wich also is weird) And by the time he would get into the later levels he would get used to the controls wich is not the case. I'm also not sure why the game is "inconsistent" for him because you can collect these rockets along the way. However his review wasn't the worst. At least he didn't show only 3 levels like most reviewers did or complain about everything he can.

This is the timeline we're living in. Bubsy can be in one of the worst games of all time and still be semi-relevant, yet Blinx, Klonoa, and almost half of Sega's franchises might never see the light of day again, with Klonoa's movie getting cancelled as a final kick in the head.

I would love to see you do "Outpost". A game that shipped with about half of the features in the instruction manual not actually implemented. I hear Outpost 2 is actually good, but the original version of the first game was a trainwreck.

That confused me so much as a kid. The game seemed so much deeper than it actually was and I never knew why until literally just now. I remember Outpost 2 being great!

Bubsy was one of the games that I remember playing on a friend's Genesis, shortly after one of the major events of trauma that my late step dad put us through. It's one of the few that I can remember, vividly, and I remember calming down while playing Bubsy. I was... I wanna say 6 or 7 at the time. I'll spare you all the details but, even though I never ended up getting Bubsy for my own system, it's one of the few games I remember from a childhood of abuse that stuck around as a positive. I relished any game that was an end to my nightmares, and Bubsy was one of them. I went back to play it in my adult life and realized that the game was pretty much garbage to play, but it still brought a smile to my face even if I ran him off a house ledge and killed him due to his weak ankles. LOL Seeing the 3D game always makes me sad, because poor Bubsy, he was a product of the 80s and early 90s and he just got the shit end of the stick.

I played Bubsy 3D and it was the only, and last, Bubsy game I will probably ever play. That game harmed me mentally, as I found myself actually unable to get through most of the game due to dizziness and pun-sickness and even took a break for a long time. It wasn't until spending a lot of time on the original Crash Team Racing that I felt the spark of joy that comes from playing games return to me. To this day, it's a game that I will fear the return of in terms of quality and it may have even been the cause of my mental state to constantly look for terrible puns in everything. But as bad as my jokes can be, Bubsy is simply impawsible to match. I also have that game pinned to my wall after I found it and it stays as a reminder to me that no matter how bad I am doing at a game, or how bad a game is, it could still be worse. It could be Bubsy 3D.

The fact that Eidetic jumped up from the failure that was Bubsy 3D to the successes that were Syphon Filter, the Uncharted handhelds & Days Gone tells me they had a huge glow-up, but the fact that the team took inspiration from Jumping Flash to inspire Bubsy 3D’s Godawful camera tells me they really fucked up there.

My gran used to buy us gifts at new year (she was Scottish so they were Hogmanay gifts. It was apparently a thing on our family but I think she just wanted to give us more gifts after Christmas) she died before new year the year Bubsy was released. I can't remember if she had bought it or if my mum and dad went and got in in place of her (judging by the release date I'm guessing my parents got it...) but this was the game I got for Hogmanay that year. I fucking loved it. I spent so long playing it. I didn't care how janky it was or how frustrating it was to play. It was the last gift from her so it meant so much to me. I still have my copy to this day. Looking back though...yeah, the game was fucking terrible. But it didn't change it for me.

Fun facts Mike Berlin had to submit an essay (yes a literal essay) on what made Sonic the Hedgehog a good game before he was allowed to start on the first Bubsy game. In the 1996 Consumer Electronics Show, Bubsy 3D was being showcased right alongside Mario 64 - and the developers were *fully aware* when they saw what Mario 64 was doing, that they were in trouble.
