Yesterday I had good news, but I wasn't sure how things would go with ebay. Sometime ago I found the Russian Bubsy art, which can be found on the cover of this game:

I think out of the many Bubsy pictures I've seen, this one was my favorite. Though I find it curious that the Ballzooka, not in the first Bubsy game, would be on the cover of the first Bubsy game. Of course the truth in advertising laws need not apply in Russia apparently. OR... the Russian first game has a Ballzooka reverse engineered into it.

Would be awesome, but doubtful.

Then even more surprising was this Russian edition for the second Bubsy game:

That was a pleasant surprise. I have seen other country games for Bubsy's first game (Australian, Japanese...), but hardly ever for the second game. Unless of course these are fakes, which is also possible.

Anyway, I'll know more in 30 to 45 days. A long shipping time, but honestly, I'm just happy to have the above two pictures off eBay to add to this Bubsy blog. I've known of the first Russian game for years and happy to finally see a copy come available.

More in октябрь... er..October!

PS: For a good laugh, someone made a fictional account of Bubsy 4 being made by Capcom.
