    Made this just for this thread here on Atariage after someone gave praise to the game I-War, which was a ok TRON-like game. I realized I had not Bubsy-ized it, so I made my spoof. Here was the thread I made this for...
     
    http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...=0#entry1561823
     
    "!-War!! Yet another exciting thread to the Bubsy saga as he has to escape the Woolies' mainframe computer on the planet Rayon."
     
    The video game star formerly known as Bubsy, now called "!". I guess the Woolie computer server had to save the space used?
     
    Anyway, for the fun on this I changed the large white flying ships to look like Woolies, changed the boxy flying ships to look like Woolie saucers, lowered the title and changed the "I" to a "!". And of course added my Bubsy-TRON icon at the helm of the tank.
     
    Fun fun. Just some creative tinkering on a quiet evening.

    So this was originally written in the "Why the hell did I not buy this?!" thread here on AtariAge.
    "a thread for items that you thought you would never need/want but looking back, you think you should have gotten it. "
     
    Got many collections but Bubsy Bobcat is one of the few that I've tried to hunt down everything possible for and try to buy it.   Must admit, I like Bubsy collecting because I can afford the occasional thing that pops up every now and then.   He's a delightful character, the game development for all the releases are a fun triumph in their own ways.  The other Bubsy fans I've met along the way are all generally likeable too.  So for this thread I mentioned the Bubsy collection.  And for that I remarked:
     
     
    I work to not live with too much regret.    I've done pretty well as a Bubsy Bobcat and Zool: Alien Ninja from the nth Dimension collector.
    Both of those collections I have some rare items I'm proud of...
       
     
    That said, as a Bubsy Bobcat collector, there are some things that got away, but I am happy to know they exist.   Most of the time it was just timing and funds.   Or someone just wanted it more, and well, kudos to them! 
     
    2011-ish
    Two very rare items came up at once.   The Bubsy sunglasses as a Babbages promotional item...
     

    And an invite to the promotional party at a CES for the launch of Bubsy...
     

    I decided to let the flip-flop go, and went all in for the sunglasses, giving a $100 ceiling for the auction.  And lost!
    Till then I never paid any great amount for Bubsy merchandise, but was shocked when someone wanted those sunglasses that much.  😮
    Other Bubsy fans existed, possibly more fanatical than me?    Shock!!
     
    in 2020 the Bubsy plush I showed at the beginning showed on ebay for the first time in a decade, and I learned from the above story.   I took all steps necessary to make sure to secure that plush, being up against not only Bubsy collectors but PLUSH collectors who had already deemed it a holy grail.   They could have it.. for the cost of a used car!     So gained wisdom from the lost flip flip and sunglasses.
     
    2013?
    Development hand drawn maps were put on ebay from Bubsy: Fractured Furry Tales game producer Faran Thomason.

     
    Reason for not buying them?   That I had ripped the actual maps from the game rom. 
    But would have been a nice piece from the development of the game looking back.  There are such few merchandise and collectables for the Jaguar Bubsy game.  Just glad we have these shots of the maps though.  Kinda nice.
     
    2021
    Had just made a large purchase two weeks ago and as a collector when I use credit for large purchases I work to pay that off before another large purchase.
     
    And so naturally, days later, my first sighting of Toys R' Us VidPro cards for the Jaguar appeared.  A lot of 22 of them.  $499 to buy it now, and with a $199 starting bid.  Also naturally, a Bubsy Vid Pro card was in there.  The first sighting I'd seen of this card... ever. 
     

     
    I have other Bubsy vidPro cards, but little known fact...  Bubsy: Fractured Furry Tales is my favorite Bubsy game.     So would have been nice to pick that up, but not for $499.   There were other cards that would have made the $199 worth it.  Probably would have resold about 19 of them.   Held off till the last minute, and in this instance, was out-sniped. 
     
    Oh well, it would be boring to have a complete collection, right?   Gotta be something out there worth hunting down.
     
    As they said in Pirates of Dark Water "Always the Quest!"

    Yesterday Kris Randazzo on Twitter showed a nice collection which lot of us Bubsy Fan Server goers were encouraging and chiming in on:
     

     
    I complimented on how the Gameboy 2 box, the one of the lower right, was one impressive box to find.   I shared a picture of my collection, and got to thinking, what other variants are out there?   This is has been something I have wondered for two decades since I got my first Bubsy game in 1999 for the Atari Jaguar.
     
    Tonight, I have a wondrous one to share as I really got to looking on the interwebs.   Feast your eyes on the Gameboy 2 EURO version...

     
    Hubba hubba.  What a nice game box.  Instead of yellow like the US version, it is black.  Would that look nice on a book shelf?   Just $500 USD... or you can make an offer.
     
    If you are willing to part with the cash, this would be a gem in a Bubsy collection.  Me, aside from hoping a Bubsy collector will have this in the community, I feature it here to make us aware of another cat variant out there in the wild. 

    (I still hope to find Bubsy out there in Isreali or some Middle East language.. that would be wild!)

    Today I was looking around for future Bubsy Bobcat Fan Blog article information and I found a cool article on YouTube about some plushies that were a little obscure. I am proud to say that Bubsy may be one of the most rare video game mascot plushies out there.

    I've enjoyed looking for Bubsy merchandise, and I believe I will just try to build my own re-creation of a Bubsy plushie at this point. As we have been talking on the Bubsy Fan Server there are over 50 Bubsy fans on there, and naturally we all want a Bubsy plush.

    If you have one, cherish it, love it, feed it tacos. You got something really cool there.

    In the video they talk about the Bubsy that JennyN was kind enough to take a picture of. I think it is cool that she has is and based on her dad being a developer on Bubsy 2, will hang on to it. Good to see the Bubster getting that kind of love.

    Michael Berlyn has donated his Bubsy to a museum in New York, so soon many kids will get to see the Bubsy plush... and I might have to fly up there and pay the plush a visit.

    So anyway, here is the YouTube video enjoy...




    A quick screen capture. Looks like a plush was given out for the TV pilot too:




    Here is a little bit about JennyN in the comments of the video:



    Spooky Deer
    fun stuff for the bubsy plush stories: JennyN is actually a youtuber! her name is Jenny Nicholson and she covers topics like wild books sold on amazon, star wars, and my little pony! she was actually the voice behind most of the cast of friendship is witchcraft (along with sherclop pones). she recently-ish (a couple weeks ago) tweeted about the bubsy plushes she owned! she still has both and isn't going to sell either of them. she's pretty entertaining to watch and i really recommend her- seeing her mentioned in this video is pretty wild considering i've been binge rewatching her videos lately lmao

    "The story of the world’s greatest video game mascot, as it’s never been told before! Let’s discuss how great Bubsy T. Bobcat is … according to Bubsy T. Bobcat!"

    I bought my copies of Paws on Fire I went to the local Gamestop. I asked for Bubsy, and from behind the manager of the store had a copy of Paws on Fire ready for me. The manager knew because I bought Woolies Strike Back at the same place years before.

    As I was buying my regular and limited edition Ps4 copies he mentioned that for an Indie, mostly because it was a game under $50 unlike other games, the sales for the game had been quite good and he almost didn't have a copy for me.

    And so when Twitter Bubsy had this to say...



    Link: https://www.pcgamer.com/from-bubsy-to-system-shock-how-indie-devs-bring-old-videogames-back-to-life/

    .... I was not surprised that an article would be written. A pretty good read and as Bubsy says there is a picture of him there so worth a read.

    Here are some other fun mayhem that Twitter Bubsy has been up to...



    Hope people in Korea like Bubsy, and if they make a specific Korean copy I will try to buy one!

    And as a reminder, a few more days are left on sale where you buy Paws on Fire (on Steam) you get a free Bubsy Two-Fur!!

    SpongeFox finished the game a few days ago (I was amazed) and after about three nights of solid play for hours I was able to collect the 75 hero tokens needed to take on Oinker, the third baws (boss).

    At the moment I love playing the Bubsy, Woolie, and Arnold levels with Virgil levels seeming very laborious. I HATE the pick ups in Virgil's levels... currently. I LOVE the boss fights for the second and third boss. LOVE it. . They took a while to get through, but somehow I felt challenged, not frustrated.

    I liking a lot about the new game. The way Bubsy as a character was presented. The other characters. After flying as the Woolie and seeing such an enjoyable character it just opens so many questions on who these Woolies really are? And more so, the nature of all the Woolies that Bubsy bopped. It is cool that they had a truce between Bubsy and the Woolies in this one. And yes the Woolie was quite helpful in reaching Oinker.

    Virgil is likable. And Arnold rolling down a corridor... well, I've always been a fan of games like Stun Runner, Gyruss, Tempest, and Tube on the Atari Jaguar. Great fun.

    I currently have 61% of the trophies, and I look forward to earning the rest. And there are competitive score boards for EACH LEVEL, for maps, and combined scores. I could see me competing against other Bubsy players for a good while.

    And love the new shirts. . Especially the rock one.





    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    So in other news since the release of Bubsy on Metacrtic, Paws on Fire is remaining at around 7.4 to 8.0 as a score. Not bad considering Woolies Strike back after 118 user votes currently sits at a 5.8.

    Here is some of the activity we've seen on this...



    There are 68 votes with 18 reviews, so what are those reviews?








    So that is all there is for now. And make sure to check out the Bubsy Fan Group on Discord! A lot of people have said it is a refreshing group of fandom that reminds people how fandom used to be. I didn't notice that at first, but yes, I think they are right. .

    Also I've we've been having fun with a group of great Bubsy fans on the Discord server. Here is the link!

    ----------
    And BTW, Sponge Fox has had other doodles that we've been meaning to share but there has been so much good Bubsy news going on.






    More news coming up soon as the digital copies of Bubsy: Paws on Fire open up on the Playstation and steam in just five days!!

    Good morning Bubsy fans!

    First off, went ahead and bought Bubsy: Paws on Fire on the Playstation store. Will be out on the 16th it says and gives the little countdown clock. Got $5 off so only like $19.99 till the release date instead of $25.



    Cool cool..

    Currently working toward lining up the physical copies for the PS4 and especially the Switch. Switch version seems to only be at Amazon BTW, but you'll get that gist here in a bit.

    Tried Game Stop since I bought the last game there. The owner even encouraged me to come by and pre-order it, but his floor folk couldn't find it in the system. :/ So bought a Tron Kingdom Hearts figure instead. (the online site is not showing the game yet either, but hopefully that will change.)

    But there are places you can buy Bubsy. For starters, Target has the Playstation 4 version:




    Bubsy on Twitter also said this about Wal-Mart...



    So far there not anything for Bubsy in the Wal-Mart online search, but if they had Bubsy in the stores that would be AMAZING progress for the Bubster as he was not featured there for his last game.

    Amazon of course has featured the new Bubsy game for some time.





    Oh BTW, haven't given it much thought, but how about Humble Bundle? Yes the Steam version is out there and currently on digital discount.

    Let's see what else did the Bubster say on Twitter? Oh yeh, Best Buy...


    They have the regular and limited editions of the Playstation 4 version up for sale.

    Checking older tweets, GOG.com does not currently have the Steam version listed, but did sale the last Bubsy game.

    Another online store that has sold Bubsy in the past, Retroism, also has the Steam version of Paws on Fire!

    That is what I have for now. Only two other things to report. One, Bubsy is a long time Bugs Bunny fan, as recently found out on Twitter...



    And finally, today is May the 4th, as in Star Wars day or "May the 4th be with you". And a video game store that likes the Bubster a whole lot, Game Over, will have a 20% sale today.



    But that reminds me of the best news of all, MAY IS BUBSY MONTH! Yep a star as big as Bubsy doesn't need a whole day, he needs a whole month!! The month Bubsy Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind was released for the SNES thus giving the Nintendo fans a Sonic like platformer for the first time! (And then later released on Sega Genesis. All on the Standee you can find in our 2013 entry.)

    So... HAPPY BUBSY MONTH BUBSY FANS!!!

    As Avengers Endgame is playing in theaters Bubsy fans are looking at the Endgame for the wait for the new Bubsy game "Paws On Fire".

    Bubsy on Twitter even commented about it...



    There is quite a lot of other fan chatter on Twitter, And Rusty pointed out this gem from last year. How I missed it I don't know, but it's pretty good for Yuke playing...




    And finally, the two deals going on right now for Bubsy games, the pre-order for Paws on Fire and the discount for Woolies Strike Back...

    Was watching Flight of the War Witch tonight. I think I see where the budget for season 2 went. All and all I've concluded no matter where your watching ends on Buck Rogers (some end at Season 1, some end at Season 2) the capstone, the end all is Flight of the War Witch. It is the only way it makes sense.

    For me as a Buck Rogers fan well, if you did not grow up with the show or have listened to people over the years, it goes something like this: Season 1 was great, season 2 was terrible (to most). This is strange phenomenon that also afflicted the TV show made only a year prior, Battlestar Galactica which many props were recycled into Buck Rogers.

    Ok, so your's truly had to come to a realization that no more of either show would be made. I could live with the facts of:
    * Buck was on Earth for the first season and that was fun.
    * Buck was in space on a ship with a downer last episode (and many things I wish they hadn't done, like change Twiki's voice, and opening narration.)

    Over time I found a way to love the bomb that was second season by realizing there were good parts, like the fact they had Buck, Wilma, Twiki (originally voice was possible in the last half of the episodes) and the new characters like Hawk, Crichton, and... well, that is all I can think of. . Anyway, there was some good there. So I made my own fan edit, editing out the more cringy parts, editing back in William Conrad on the opening narration, swap the last two episodes in the watching order, and editing in some Mel Blanc lines over the Twiki in the first half of the series. It's effort but as someone (I believe it was Alan Sharkis) in the Atari retro community once said "Go with your bliss"


    So what does this have to do with "Flight of the War Witch"? EVERYTHING.

    Do we want to leave Buck Rogers on that ship Searcher? Well as true as that was the ending I replace your reality and insert my own! And so I say Flight of the War Witch... well ok, I highly recommend, that you watch this episode last because IT... IS... AWESOME!!!

    And it really makes sense no other way. In this episode, no, it wasn't even an episode. This was a movie. It was actually originally intended as a TV movie and was turned into a two part episode. In this we have so much that season two ignored like the introduction of another dimension, and growth between Buck and Ardala. Why did season two ignore this? It was bad writing. AHEM. It hadn't happened yet! So OBVIOUSLY this takes place after season two.

    And what fireworks! You have Julie Newmar playing an excellent villianess in a epically cool ship (that was actually upside down, but it looked SOOO much more epic that way so they kept it).

    And where dogfight scenes were recyled photage in season 1, and mostly non-existant in Season 2, here it is all new photage for the most part.

    Do yourself a favor: WATCH... THIS... LAST!




    And one other perfect aspect is the crappy vocal version of the song, played originally in the pilot episode is played again here. Ok, most hate that, but for nostalgia I have a soft spot for that version. Yes, the voice singing it is terrible.



    But again another reason this is a perfect last episode and just the way it all ends with a freeze frame on Buck's smile. Perfect.

    ------------------------------------------------------




    BONUS: A Fan Music Track using Flight of the War Witch dialogue.

    Season 2 - Story 10
    (But I will say Story 11)
    "Testimony of a Traitor"
    Getting back to Earth, and the past...

    This is the episode most think fondly about, and for more reasons than they probably realize. In this episode you have the Searcher back at Earth (for a deep exploration vessel they spend a lot of time close to home. Earth, Alpha Centari...) . You get more of the back story of Buck, how he wanted real badly to be on the Ranger 3 mission, and one secret mission before going off into space.

    In this the crew really melds together in my mind. Dr. Goodfellow finally comes into his own as a character as he helps Buck. Azimov and crew are supportive. Twiki got some good lines ... except for one. ** And it just all melds together. Fans missed the lack of dogfights in fighters in season 2 but here we get a dogfight scene as Buck and Wilma fly to Earth for more evidence.

    At the end everyone has a great moment together as Buck is congratulated, he gives Hawk a good long bro hand shake (which since I treat this as the true final episode of season 2, marks a good farewell handshake), Twiki congratulates Buck, Wilma kisses him. Great stuff. Opposition extends his hand to congratulate, Buck shakes his hand, and I cut the episode off right there and roll credits in my edit.

    Reason being, what I like next in my watching order is "Flight of the War Witch" which is a epic two parter that to me is the end I would have liked: Buck back on Earth, more Princess Ardala, and a dimensional gateway tech is introduced that is not addressed again in Season 2, soooo... why not be the last story of the series? Just a fun preference, and I think it works great. (Just give Buck a haircut, and he lost weight while enjoying country air, and sure...) .

    What I edited out of this episode was the final part. In Shgoratchx Azimov tells them to go to "Warp 3" when the ship does not have warp engines it has Star drives. At the end of this story, they are leaving the solar system, which is cool, but why? There are Stargates. Wouldn't that help get you to some remote star system with a lost colony faster?

    ** And as much as I like Twiki, the discussion of "robot intuition being like woman's intuition" was something I could live without honestly.

    So edit that scene, have Buck leave off with a hand shake, you can work in he departed the Searcher at that time, went back to Earth... next up, Flight of the War Witch! Good times.


  17. doctorclu
    Season 2-Story 11
    (But I'll call this Story 10)
    "The Dorian Secret"
    The "shame on you" episode.

    So what would you do if you were suffering extreme heat and cold and it was all because your ship was harboring a fugitive? I've heard it said that Gil Gerard wanted more serious material over the fun tone of the first season. This one is great for that. A real thinker that makes you wonder who you would have been as a passenger on the Searcher going through all that? The story is so dark that Twiki, the living embodiment of a cartoon character basically, has no lines in this episode (that I remember). And I so liked the message of this episode as much as I love Twiki as one of the cast, I won't be editing in a line. Well, ok, maybe one.

    And the end, when I really think about it, that would be maddening. Of course, scars, age, and other factors would help make differences over time. All I have to say is that actor was able to lip sync with the dialogue quite well.

    The episode of Season 2, really lets things off in a darker almost downer tone. That is why I prefer to not have this as the last episode of Season 2 in the watching order on the playlist.

  18. doctorclu
    Season 2 - Story 9
    "The Hand of Goral"
    The kinda mirror universe episode?

    So Lone Ranger and Tonto... er... Buck and Hawk... find themselves in the midst of a test that has them on a false version of the Searcher. All and all while seemingly obvious at times, it did give the characters a chance to completely step out of character in completely hilarious ways.

    Crichton comes in and is funny, but Twiki follows up and completely steals the show going off on a complaining rant. That had me cracking up. I was recording dialog of Twiki, but not only was this so out of character for Twiki, but there was just too much to write down. I loved it!!

    I have to agree with Dr. Goodfellow on one thing, the duplicate Wilma would have been the "Goral" of Buck's dreams. Well, at least part of me thinks it's a shame he couldn't save that version, might be nice to have around... but I'm sure the duplicate would have ended once they left Goral's vicinity. Just a fan thought. I know, a terrible one.
  19. doctorclu
    Season 2 - Story 8
    "Shgoratchx!"
    "That episode where they tried to undress Wilma."

    Yep this is the one that most remember as the one where the midgets try to "offthink" Wilma's clothes. Was memorable for me too.

    This episode was a ridiculous and fun episode. Not much editing I did on this till the very end when Dr. Goodfellow gives a long speech. UGGGG!!! Edited that out, flowed from Buck saying being with them was interesting and they compliment back that "you gave us something too"... more exchanges with the aliens, Hawk and Buck. The show is about Buck damnit, keep the focus on Buck! All and all, a zanny fun episode.
  20. doctorclu
    Season 2-Story 7
    "The Satyr"
    On the road with Twiki, the apology episode.

    This episode always was and will be the "Hey fans, we are soooooo sorry we stuck you with that other voice actor for Twiki and gave your beloved character background appearances. Here, have a story with Buck and Twiki for old times sake on us!"

    Edits I did on this episode for my own enjoyment was to shorten the part with the opening with the mother and son and NOT show the Satyr. To matter the fact, I edited it in such a way that you don't get a full on view of the Satyr till Buck finally meets the Satyr when he attacks him at night at the Shuttle.

    I also edited out where Buck reachs up to see a wound on the mother's neck... seemed a bit out of character for Buck to just grab like that.

    Other than that, Buck looked cool in this episode, had the leather coat, hair was in place, cool white shirt. Had Twiki. Oh and there was a line I did edit out where Twiki asks Wilma "Do you change in the moonlight?" Dumb dumb... Twiki would not ask that. So cut that, scene plays with Buck and Wilma flirting, works great.
  21. doctorclu
    Season 2 - Story 6
    "The Crystals"
    MEL BLANC is back baby!!! <-- As Twiki's voice
    (And the story is good too)

    Watching it here recently I was laboring through noting the scenes where Twiki was talking for editing and when I heard Mel Blanc talk as Twiki it was, to quote the OTHER Twiki voice in "Time of the Hawk" ... "I think the sun just came out". Wonderful.

    I had gone from feeling sorry for Crichton to liking him, and loved him in this one. Not only his description of the "old moldy data", but also his willingness to admit he was wrong on what he did access. It was also in this episode we establish at last that he is "son" to Twiki, not the other way around. This actually helped give more depth to both characters and their interaction with each other, I thought.


  22. doctorclu
    Season 2 - Story 5
    "The Golden Man"
    Story with a twist, and great moments with Hawk.

    More editing of Twiki, story is alright for the most part. The penal colony locals looked slightly more primitive than the city they were supposedly living in was my impression, but oh well. Loved... loved... loved Hawk impersonating an inspector and how he wore the cloak. And man he had them going.

    Also loved how they establish the father and son relationship. Brings up questions though to the power level of these golden people. Do they start big and have a limited amount of power? Do they loose power as it used through life causing them to get smaller/younger looking to us? Just a thought.
  23. doctorclu
    Season 2: Story 4
    "Mark of the Saurian"
    Where the trio is cemented and rest of the Searcher gets on board with Buck.

    Still having to edit Twiki. Oh man, the whole "Top of the morning" bit from Twiki... UGGG!! But of course, if Mel Blanc said it, it would have been fine, great... funny! Anyway, this episode had me riveted watching it again. Maybe it was seeing Thunderfighters in formation again (stock photage) or the repainted station from Space Vampire, or wondering if the reptilian Saurian race was reused masks from V? Just loved this episode.

    And I liked how Wilma was on board with Buck, Hawk was established more than ever to be supportive of Buck (afterall Buck did save his life so... sure.. why not!?) and Azimov, and Goodfellow were intially idio...er... well... clueless at first. But this is where Buck earns their trust.

    Season 2 - Story 3
    "The Guardians"
    A story insightful into the dreams and fears of the characters.

    Usual edits (narration, Twiki) kinda your Raiders of the Lost Ark episode. An alright one. Liked it enough. Yeh if they were all lined up this would probably be the weakest one, but not to say I didn't like it.

    Season 2: Story 2
    "Journey to Oasis". Take a little "Road To..." movie, mix some Star Wars, bam! You got this story.

    I like all Buck Rogers episodes. Mostly for nostalgia. This is one that is panned a lot by reviewers. I liked it because of Mark Leonard's character having a relationship with Wilma. Because of that I think we saw Wilma grow from just being an automatic love interest as Buck's sidekick/friend. Here they disagree, and Wilma has her own mind about things. And it hit me that maybe Wilma and Buck don't eventually hook up. A big moment in my 10 year old mind.

    Only notable edits I would do is the narration, Twiki, and taking some of the edge off Crichton. I think Dr. Goodfellow insults him at the end which I edited out. Didn't like Goodfellow till the end of Season 2.
