Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales is a platform video game developed by Imagitec Design and published by Atari. It was the third of four games in the Bubsy series, and the only one released exclusively for the Atari Jaguar video game console. The title is a play on words in reference to Fractured Fairy Tales, a segment of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
The game plays very similar to the first two games in the Bubsy series, Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind and Bubsy 2. The game plays as a 2D sidescrolling platformer. While the goal is still to maneuver Bubsy through the level to the end, this game emphasizes more puzzle elements such as flipping switches and complicated level design.
As the game's title suggests, the levels are themed after fairy tales, such as Alice in Wonderland, Jack and the Beanstalk, Ali Baba, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Hansel and Gretel. In the game, all of the fairy tales have been corrupted, and Bubsy is tasked to fix them, and protect the children of the world from them.
The game featured a password feature, allowing the player to revisit any level already completed.
Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales received largely mixed reviews. Despite giving it a relatively modest score of 6.4/10, Electronic Gaming Monthly lauded the game, commenting that "Bubsy fans will love this version of the popular character, and this one will prove challenging to even the most hardened veterans of the series. The levels are huge, the graphics are very detailed and the sound is equally impressive."GamePro commented that "Bubsy offers a muddled mix of good and bad ingredients", citing colorful graphics but jerky animation, good music but raspy sound effects, inconsistent control responsiveness, and fickle collision detection.Next Generation said it has colorful and visually pleasing graphics but generic gameplay, and concluded, "Not a bad title, but platform fans will probably find Zool 2 a little more entertaining and a lot more innovative."
