Bubsy video game
Bubsy
Smart-Aleck Bobcat Bounces Again!
The cat with the chat is back. A catchy new catastrophe
is about to befall Mr. Purrsonality (better known around
these climes as Mr. Mouth). Bubsy II from Accolade puts
the famous-in-his-own-mind furball in a one- or two-
player battle against a swine named Oinker P. Hamm and
his henchhogs. You'll marvel (or at least swoon) at the
number of new things Bubsy can do in this cataclysmic
Adventure. You can cat-apault through any of the worlds
(in any order), get catatonic over bunches of new usable
items, play through a game catacombed with funny new
subgames, and best of all, cat-fight a capitalist boar
with your favorite cat-o'-nine-lives.

High-Tech Hairball Hijinks
Oinker P. Hamm has hijacked Dr. V. Reality's WOMPUM (a
mouthfull of an acronym for a machine that steals
history) and built his own indoor amusement park. The pig
calls it the Amazatorium and, as you might imagine, he's
in hog heaven charging folks to see what was rightfully
theirs to begin with. Our fearless (or was that
peerless?) hairball takes his niece and nephew, the Bubsy
Twins (Terri and Terry) to see the park, and with typical
Bubsy timing, he's a day early and a marble short. The
twins take it upon themselves to hightail it into the
park while Uncle Bubsy's not paying attention (this guy
has the attention span of a houseplant). Now our fur-
brained friend has to sneak in to the park and find them.
Bodacious Bunches of Bubsy
Bubsy II offers more types of play than a deck of cards.
(Note: The previous line was a blatant exaggeration and
we don't know how it snuck in.)The Amazatorium has three
floors and two wings East and West. Each Tour increases
in challenge, starting with the First Floor Tour, then up
to the Second and Third Floor Tours, with the largest and
most difficult being the Grand Tour.
But wait - they didn't stop there (oh, no). You can
choose to go it alone or bring a friend along. Two
players can select Friendly or Feisty mode. The game play
is normal turn taking, with a major twist. In Friendly,
while waiting for your turn with Bubsy, you lob bananas
at enemies and collect stuff for your pal. In Feisty, you
toss bananas in Bubsy's path and steal his goodies before
he gets ’em. Got it? Not enough? One- or two-player Mini
Games let you play all three subgames - Frogapult,
Armadillo Drop, and Liquid Lunacy.
Teaching an Old Cat New Tricks
Every game gives you bunches of new items to collect. You
can now leave a level and come back as often as you want
by using the Portable Hole. You get a Diving Suit to
brave water hazards. A new Smart Bomb takes out all the
enemies onscreen and turns ’em into marbles (also stuns
the Twin in Feisty mode). Now you can blast your enemies
with a Ballzooka and collect tons of additional things on
your travels, including a health Patch-Up (Bubsy no
longer uses up a life when he gets hit a single time, you
get three hits). There're lots of new things to do and
lots of new ways to play.
Hot Hints
All the switches in Egypt look like a lion's head.
Look Up and Down before leaping.
Sell your stuff to get bunches of lives at the Gift Shop
(at the completion of each level).
You can revisit levels to collect lives before hitting
the Boss Doors.
Follow the arrows, but note that they get fewer and
farther between as you move up the floors.
The East wing Grand Tour is slightly harder than the West
wing version.
