I have no idea why I enjoyed Bubsy as much as I did when I was a kid. For a decent span of time, my cousins and I would load this in every day after school, and we had fun with it. However, even at 9-years old, I could tell that something about Bubsy was off -- I could sense it was on a tier well below other platformer titles that I had played, like Mario, Sonic, and Rocket Knight Adventures. I also remember getting quite frustrated with dying in one hit, and the fall damage. But regardless, I still found some level of excitement in playing Bubsy, and I can't quite put my finger on it. When I go back to watch gameplay footage as an adult, I find myself sort of flabbergasted that I liked it at all, because I can clearly see it for the massively flawed game that it is, and there isn't a single thing about Bubsy that I find appealing at this stage. Still, I have to give it some sort of credit for keeping a naïve 9-year old me entertained for a month or two at the time.
