Smart-Aleck Bobcat Bounces Again!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The cat with the chat is back. A catchy new catastrophe
|
|||
|
|
is about to befall Mr. Purrsonality (better known around
|
|||
|
|
these climes as Mr. Mouth). Bubsy II from Accolade puts
|
|||
|
|
the famous-in-his-own-mind furball in a one- or two-
|
|||
|
|
player battle against a swine named Oinker P. Hamm and
|
|||
|
|
his henchhogs. You'll marvel (or at least swoon) at the
|
|||
|
|
number of new things Bubsy can do in this cataclysmic
|
|||
|
|
Adventure. You can cat-apault through any of the worlds
|
|||
|
|
(in any order), get catatonic over bunches of new usable
|
|||
|
|
items, play through a game catacombed with funny new
|
|||
|
|
subgames, and best of all, cat-fight a capitalist boar
|
|||
|
|
with your favorite cat-o'-nine-lives.

High-Tech Hairball Hijinks
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Oinker P. Hamm has hijacked Dr. V. Reality's WOMPUM (a
|
|||
|
|
mouthfull of an acronym for a machine that steals
|
|||
|
|
history) and built his own indoor amusement park. The pig
|
|||
|
|
calls it the Amazatorium and, as you might imagine, he's
|
|||
|
|
in hog heaven charging folks to see what was rightfully
|
|||
|
|
theirs to begin with. Our fearless (or was that
|
|||
|
|
peerless?) hairball takes his niece and nephew, the Bubsy
|
|||
|
|
Twins (Terri and Terry) to see the park, and with typical
|
|||
|
|
Bubsy timing, he's a day early and a marble short. The
|
|||
|
|
twins take it upon themselves to hightail it into the
|
|||
|
|
park while Uncle Bubsy's not paying attention (this guy
|
|||
|
|
has the attention span of a houseplant). Now our fur-
|
|||
|
|
brained friend has to sneak in to the park and find them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bodacious Bunches of Bubsy
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bubsy II offers more types of play than a deck of cards.
|
|||
|
|
(Note: The previous line was a blatant exaggeration and
|
|||
|
|
we don't know how it snuck in.)The Amazatorium has three
|
|||
|
|
floors and two wings East and West. Each Tour increases
|
|||
|
|
in challenge, starting with the First Floor Tour, then up
|
|||
|
|
to the Second and Third Floor Tours, with the largest and
|
|||
|
|
most difficult being the Grand Tour.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But wait - they didn't stop there (oh, no). You can
|
|||
|
|
choose to go it alone or bring a friend along. Two
|
|||
|
|
players can select Friendly or Feisty mode. The game play
|
|||
|
|
is normal turn taking, with a major twist. In Friendly,
|
|||
|
|
while waiting for your turn with Bubsy, you lob bananas
|
|||
|
|
at enemies and collect stuff for your pal. In Feisty, you
|
|||
|
|
toss bananas in Bubsy's path and steal his goodies before
|
|||
|
|
he gets <20>em. Got it? Not enough? One- or two-player Mini
|
|||
|
|
Games let you play all three subgames - Frogapult,
|
|||
|
|
Armadillo Drop, and Liquid Lunacy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Teaching an Old Cat New Tricks
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Every game gives you bunches of new items to collect. You
|
|||
|
|
can now leave a level and come back as often as you want
|
|||
|
|
by using the Portable Hole. You get a Diving Suit to
|
|||
|
|
brave water hazards. A new Smart Bomb takes out all the
|
|||
|
|
enemies onscreen and turns <20>em into marbles (also stuns
|
|||
|
|
the Twin in Feisty mode). Now you can blast your enemies
|
|||
|
|
with a Ballzooka and collect tons of additional things on
|
|||
|
|
your travels, including a health Patch-Up (Bubsy no
|
|||
|
|
longer uses up a life when he gets hit a single time, you
|
|||
|
|
get three hits). There're lots of new things to do and
|
|||
|
|
lots of new ways to play.

Hot Hints
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All the switches in Egypt look like a lion's head.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Look Up and Down before leaping.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sell your stuff to get bunches of lives at the Gift Shop
|
|||
|
|
(at the completion of each level).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can revisit levels to collect lives before hitting
|
|||
|
|
the Boss Doors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Follow the arrows, but note that they get fewer and
|
|||
|
|
farther between as you move up the floors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The East wing Grand Tour is slightly harder than the West
|
|||
|
|
wing version.
