As previously mentioned, we took questions for Faran Thomason (Producer of the Atari Jaguar game of Bubsy) for an interview, and FINALLY we have the interview on Youtube! He was a lot of fun to talk to and hopefully we'll cover other Atari Jaguar games in the future.

Here is the complete picture that SpongeFox drew while we were interviewing him.

Coming up, the interview with Michael Berlyn. Stay tuned!

Ah ha, so that's the significance of the cherry and "No smutty comments, please" - Hansel and Gretel were supposedly tossing cherry bombs, and they didn't want the programmers making the too-obvious joke just set right up on a tee about "popping the cherries". LOL!

And yes, despite Bubsy saying "Nothing can stop me now!" on levels 13-15, plenty could and did stop him. Of course he said the same line sometimes in Bubsy II. One thing Bubsy II inadvertently lent itself to was you could just buy your way to as many lives as you could buy by repeatedly putting on the diving suit, going into the water, getting the big marble for 10 trading cards, buy more diving suits, get 10 more trading cards on every dive, then buying all the lives you needed, making the game easy to avoid running out of lives. Another great interview.
