I used to play Bubsy for hours on end during the early 90's, and even today, I remember with fondness the funky background music and annoying bouncing woolies. This game had it all, it was challenging, exciting, fun, and to me at least, nostalgic. When I was a lad, I had mastered Bubsy, and even today, when I dust off the old Sega Genesis and pop in this game, I still remember all the tricks I learned. The humor in Bubsy is very clever, but maybe a little over your head if you're just a child like I was. That didn't stop me from trying my hardest to understand the little comic that came with the game.
The sequel to Bubsy, Bubsy II, was very enjoyable as well, but it lacked the certain magic that its predecessor had.
The bottom line probably is, if you can overlook the not-so-great graphics and childish look of this game, you'll love this classic. I'd recommend it to anyone.
