Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection

bubsy 3d is the first video game to genuinely bring me to tears of hurt, confusion, sorrow, and anger. this game CHANGES you. edit: less than THREE hours after finishing bubsy 3d, my uncle succumbed to a fatal complication of prior injuries in the hospital. i have no choice but to pin the blame on this diabolical bobcat. if you value the safety of your loved ones, stay as far away from bubsy 3d as possible.

[h1]What could possibly go wrong? These games will answer that question[/h1] A failed attempt at a mascot platformer from the 90's, Bubsy's original games return in one collection without having to spend hundreds of dollars just to play them all. I want to start by mentioning that the team behind this collection did a really good job. You've got screen size settings, a CRT filter and borders. The SNES and Mega Drive versions of Bubsy 1 and 2 are included which should be a standard for collections like these. Tons of extras are included such as the manuals, music, merchandise, and even the entire Bubsy cartoon pilot that never saw the light of day. Developer interviews were great to see included - I love behind-the-scenes material like this, making it feel much more personal. The best addition to this collection is the rewind feature, allowing you to go back and retry quickly at failed sections. Thank goodness this feature exists - without it, I don't think I'd have the sanity to finish any of these games because they are all terrible. All 5 games share a lot of the same problems that ruin the experience - poor collision detection that can result in getting hurt even when jum…

"No Valid Display Modes Found. Exiting Game." Sure thing, pal.

If you don't have a 16:9 monitor, then don't buy this. Fullscreen will not work properly and there is no fix. I wish someone had told me before I bought it. My Alienware laptop has a 16:10 monitor and this is the only game that will not properly go fullscreen. It appears zoomed in and the image is larger than the screen with a wide black bar at the top. Alt-Enter does not work, nor do more complicated fixes. This is a very amateur mistake for a company like Atari. I lost a lot of respect for them in the last ten minutes.

We all know and love the infamous little Bobcat, but my god his games are sooooo bad. The only good game in here is the first one all the others are really really terrible games. I still had a lot of fun playing and experiencing these games though! Also the collection is really good, the rewind function is a bit iffy, but other than that it's really cool that basically the entire Bubsy history is included even the Cartoon pilot and the making of Bubsy are all watchable in the Mewseum. So yeah if you want to have a laugh at these games and expierence them for once get the collection on a sale it's dirt cheap anyways and it's a really cool collection made with lots of love and effort!

I find these games fun to play in short bursts and not to complete. From what I remember Bubsy 2 might be the best, but I've yet to play the storybook one. The games are quick paced platformers akin to Sonic, brought down a little by some inconsistent hitboxes, and a lot of unavoidable obstacles since you can't see very much of the screen at once and your acceleration is absurd. I think the latter can also be attributed to games like Sonic but that's saved through the ring system. I believe later Bubsies at least allow for multiple hits, and most of bubsy 2 isn't designed for you to outrun the camera so this design issue is lessened a bit. Bubsy 1 also has a weird physics thing when jumping on or near ramps saves your direction of motion as if you're on the ramp that makes it a chore to play and feel good. Bubsy 2 has a lot more variety. I played some of the gameboy bubsy and despite all the built in warnings against the game, I think it's still a better designed game than the first. Bubsy 3D is famously panned, I think most reviews only show the first couple levels but it is genuinely interesting, and they try a lot of things that kind of make you think on a meta level …
