The Woolies are at it again stealing Bubsy's stuff and this time they stole EVERYTHING and stored it on the planet Kaboodle!!! Bubsy will need to JUMP OVER the Woolies to get it all back. In the game you'll see objects Bubsy needs to collect on based on items he collected in...
I started working on a hack of this for the Vic 20. The development was extremely rough and the character animations for that worked a bit differently than they did the 2600/5200/800 versions. I wasn't happy with it for a bit, but then I read this from a Vic 20 gamer...
From TheTick1:
"I played Fast Eddie on my Vic20 back in the early 80's. I may have to mess with the builtin ML monitor on VICE and work on a similar Bubsy for my good 'ole Vic20. Would be awesome to see Bubsy running on my early 80's Vic20 hardware."
Figured that was enough reason to get something going for people to try out. After ongoing development on this for two days and input from some folks on Atariage about how the Vic 20 colors work, I liked how the animations, color, and feel of the game has turned out.
...But only members can download the rom from there.
You could post the rom here by scrolling down to the 'Attachments' tab while on the Post page.

Nice hack!
The standing pose is a little less easy to read than the others - maybe you could change it so the whiskers stick out like they do in the climbing pose?

The way the game is written, it is really forgiving with the ladder climbing, and even the prizes. But with the actual character there seemed to be problems when you exceeded around 16 pixels in height or 6 characters in width.
So my solution? Well Bubsy looks good when he looks to the right so I make sure to strike a pose looking right. (because looking left cuts off the front of the face and the foot pixels that go beyond 6 pixels)

Very nice. I'm a big fan of the original Bubsy on the Mega Drive. Very under-rated platform game.
