"BUCKY! Captain Bucky O'Hare!"

I doubt too many people heard these words on Saturday Mornings in the 90s, as it wasn't exactly a popular Cartoon. Based off a comic book, Bucky O'Hare is the story of a Green Rabbit who fights Toads in Space. So, why am I posting this in a Blog about Nintendo Games? Because it got an NES Game!

I first played this game on my Brother's NES at my Dad's House when I was just a kid. I loved every minute of it. I have not played it since, but I'd love to get another chance at it. As I recall, it was a very fun game, and I spent loads of time playing it. Sadly, I could never beat it, as I was just a kid, and it was pretty challenging.

Anyway, the NES game was not the end of Bucky, because as I mentioned before, he had his own cartoon, which sadly, only lasted 13 Episodes. Bucky would not give up that easily though. As if to offer resolution to his Cartoon Series, an Arcade only sequel to the Cartoon Series was released, which details his Final Battle against The Toad Menace.

The Arcade Version was also developed by Konami, but because of it's different story, it was not a port of the NES Game. Like I said before, it was a sequel to the Cartoon Series, and even featured the Voice Actors from the Cartoon, which was pretty cool. Smiley

So, what has become of Bucky since his final battle with the Toads? According to Wikipedia, a 3D Cartoon was produced by the original Comic Book Author. Yes, I did neglect to mention that Bucky started as a Comic Book Hero. Sorry!

Anyway, I would really like to play the NES Game again. If anyone has a copy for sale or trade, could you send me a PM or leave a comment on this entry? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for reading!

This one is also high on my NES want list. I also used to watch the show and even had a couple action figures from it. I'm gonna try and track one down sometime this year.
 
Huh, never knew they put out a game for this guy.

Definitely gotta put this on my watch list when I'm hittin' the garage-sale circuit.

Just imagine the potential this would've had if they were able to cross it over with BattleToads...
