Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, knowns as Bubsy for short, is a platform video game by Accolade in the early 1990's. It is the first game in the Bubsy series of video games. The game's name is a play on words in reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with the game revolving around Bubsy defending the planet's supply of yarnballs from alien invaders.

In the game, enemy aliens called "Woolies" intend to steal Earth's supply of yarnballs, and as Bubsy has the world's largest collection of yarnballs, he has the most at stake, and sets out to stop the Woolies and reclaim the yarnballs. The game plays as a 2D sidescrolling platformer. The player must maneuver Bubsy through the levels, jumping on enemy "Woolies" while collecting stray yarnballs. The game consists of sixteen levels, and Bubsy starts off with nine lives. In general, the game's gameplay has been compared to the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the Sega Genesis era
