Still haven't fixed it! Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind is the first game. The second one's just called Bubsy II...

Still, as long as it's not Bubsy 3D we're laughing, eh?

I had that, once. I actually didn't think it was that bad. By Bubsy standards, anyway.

Postby look at it sideways on Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:42 pm

I'm also on the "why so much Bubsy hate" side of the camp. It's fast paced, looks nice and the gameplay's pretty solid too. Why is it people hate Bubsy I so much? I appreciate the third one is terrible, and I've yet to play the second, but surely even if you don't like Bubsy it can't be so bad you'd have to consider it one of the system's worst games.

Anyway:

Best:

1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2. Cannon Fodder
3. James Pond 2: Robocod
4. The Lion King
5. Pier Solar
6. Wiz N' Liz (although the Amiga version is better)
7. Another World (As above, from an artistical sense in this case - the Amiga version is better than most of the games on this list.
8. Ristar
9. Castle of Illusion
10. Aladdin

I'll have to think about the worst, but Altered Beast is definitely on there.

688 Attack Sub? Couldn't get my head around that one either, but I'm SURE there's a great game in there somewhere!

Has anyone else played TECHNOCLASH?

My mates used to reckon it was rubbish but I sunk a lot of time into it. It was a kind of steampunk gauntlet clone from EA.

I remember it, though I'm in the same camp as your mates, I hated it though will admit I never played it enough to form a decent opinion, 'cos i got Wonderboy In Monster World the week after and got stuck into that. If I remember rightly, it wasn't a very colourful game, and the colours used were a bit 'off', it was a bit 'Atari ST' in appearance.

Think I have the patience to play it now, might pop it on the Everdrive shortly. ;)

Sounds about right, I was in a room with 4 people and couldn't work out what to push or where or whatever... I'm sure had I a clue it would've been a fantastic game!

Best (in no particular order):

Sonic 3 + Knuckles
Dynamite Headdy
Gunstar Heroes
Mickey and Donald: World of Illusion (if a little too easy!)
Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition
Comix Zone
Streets of Rage 2
Quackshot
Golden Axe
Ghouls and Ghosts

..as for the worst, well I'm sure Bubsy would find it in there, and I always felt that the Alex Kidd game was a bit of a missed opportunity. But I didn't buy any of the crap ones so I'm not too well-versed in them! ;)

Never heard of it, but just been on YouTube and it looks alright (besides the SLOW bullets!). A bit like the True Lies game (which is great), so worth a go, probably.
