Name:	Bubsy series (2 titles) Bubsy - Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind Bubsy 2
Author/Vendor:	Accolade
Released:	various
Type:	Platform
Language:	English
Premise:	Bubsy is a smart-aleck bobcat (sans pants, of course) who seems to spend most of his time running around and dealing with the various platform pratfalls and arcade antics that compose his strange little life.
Impressions:	According to Harry Tuttle of the The Dump, Accolade spent a lot of time and effort developing and promoting what was to be the ultimate Sonic clone. In short, it was overly long in development and overly short in gameplay. The first game has loads of cheap shots, and the whole point seems to be to see the ultracool death sequences. The second game is more balanced and even takes a stab at a pseudo-3D element, but why couldn't Accolade get it right the first time? Oh, yea - gotta make money. A sad footnote in the history of Sonic clones.
Variations:	Bubsy - Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (1992, the first and worst of the series in terms of gameplay) Bubsy 2 (1993, Bubsy explores the hyperdimensional mansion from hell - not as easy to get killed now, but still rather silly)
