VGMP: Videogame Movie Podcast

DLC: Bubsy (TV Pilot)

Season 5, Ep. 40
•

We love uncovering forgotten gems here on VGMP and this certainly ranks amongst them. Whilst he never stood with the likes of Sonic and Mario in the hall of platformer greats, Bubsy Bobcat had a few games in the early 1990s that were successful enough to warrant trying a cartoon based on the property. The result was this TV pilot that was not picked up for a full series. When you watch it, you'll understand why. This show is like an acid trip on the Vegas Strip.
