Why does Skunny get no love? "Who is Skunny?" you ask? He is none other than the mascot of the international gaming powerhouse, Copysoft.
Pic related was pretty impressive for the time (Skunny 32-bit). Included an intuitive level editor and was a solid DOS platformer.

The company is still around and still fairly protective of this classic mascot. Bubsy wishes he were Skunny. Pic related is probably best in the series, except for the one where you kill Saddam Hussein

I participated in two Skunny level design contests in 95 and 96 and never heard anything again from the devs

I remember seeing Skunny: Save our Pizzas years ago while looking through some DOS game archives. Gameplay seemed mediocre to bad, and other than the name, it's not very memorable.

Off the top of my head, I think James Pond and Rayman are the only ones I really like? Maybe Banjo and Conker count too.

Skunny was the DOS equivilent of an Amiga public domain game. You know, those shitty games programmed in AMOS by bedroom hobbyists and sold for a quid a disk in the back of Amiga Shopper magazine.

first off thanks for giving me name to the weird squirrel platformer I played as a young kid that was part of the collection of pirated floppys my mom had.
Secondly This looks like shit and even as a kid i saw I was janky
And third, I've been on 4chan for too long because I see skunny and can't dissociate that with cunny memes

Because he stole from Wacky Wheels.
Also it was very basic, I played all of them back in the day and they were not very fun. Not horrible, just meh.

I remember seeing the ad for Skunny Kart, and thinking it would be a fun SMK clone. The specs looked great and I assumed a PC game 3 years older than SMK would be better. Now I'm glad I stayed away.

>Why does Skunny get no love?
Because his games were shit.
Because his design was also shit.
Because the controls were shit as well.
Because the games' gameplay? Shit too.

Skunny was like that autistic classmate we all had at least once. Yeah, the one who always followed others around trying to fit in by parroting out the popular jokes, trying to sneak in other people's talk and repeating the day's popular topic, except he only pushed everyone away because everything he did and says came out wrong and he couldn0t do anything to avoid it no matter hor hard he tried.

That's what a Skunny game feels like.
