Tom at Pixels or Death does a quick review of "Bubsy in Clawed Encounters of the Furred Kind," in his "nightmarish oddities from the early 90′s" series.
Test Drive for the Amiga was one of the first realistic driving sims to come out. Find out if it's worth going back to Test Drive with Retroheadz nostalgic review.
Test Drive! That game on C64, the 959 and the Countach left quite a mark in my childhood...30 years ago. God I feel old now.
I loved this game on the Commodore 64. This, R.O.B.B., and Beach Head were my go to games back then.
This was amazing back in the day. We had never had a driving simulator like it before.
But it doesn't hold up today
GamePlox: It would be ignorant of me to rattle off the long-winded historical context that surrounds the infamous video game character that is Bubsy, at least with any heir of decency. Countless gamers have critiqued Accolade’s furry fiend, labeling him as nothing short of an over-produced marketing ploy that starred in some pretty terrible games. Those people are right in their judgement, and me attempting to seriously convey the story of Bubsy isn’t going to do anything relevant to what’s already been discussed for years.
Instead, I’m going to write about what a piece of sh*t Bubsy is, and what exactly makes the moronic mascot a figure of such simultaneous humor and hatred in the industry. Sure, me telling you that Bubsy is a freaking scourge isn’t going to be very insightful or relevant to anything either, but it’s going to be way more fun.
What could possibly go wrong?
