    05:34 Fun fact: Accolade ported Super Bubsy to Windows around 1995 with enhanced graphics, new sound effects and midi music. The controls are translated well to keyboard, it's fun to play. The game was bundled with the actual Bubsy TV show, the player can unlock more and more of it via collecting blue television icons through the gameplay ‒ or just open the CD in Windows Explorer and play the video files from there instead.

      The first two games were actually decent. The 3rd game (the Jaguar one) is when it got really bad, and Bubsy 3D was so bad that it killed off the entire series for 2 whole decades.

    A funny twist to the SEGA and Accolade saga is that Accolade had already been in a turf war with SEGA in suing Distinctive Software, Inc. (DSI) over their port of OutRun to MS-DOS, as DSI had used code they'd previously written for Test Drive and Test Drive II. (Side note: Accolade lost the case but dropped DSI from developing further Test Drive games - only years later however, DSI were acquired by EA, changed their name to Pioneer Productions and developed Test Drive rival The Need for Speed.)

    Personally, I think there should be a law against console manufacturers from locking out publishers who don't pay for a license. It's the user's hardware once they've bought it and it should be their choice as to what to play. The really sad thing is, there are probably tens of thousands of sycophants out there to carry water for the console manufacturers behalf on this issue.

Thus Accoldae won in court and set the precedent that is still used today for clean room reverse engineering.

    I'm a little confused? I always assumed that Bubsy 1 came out after Sega and Accolade sorted their differences out and Accolade became a licensee in 1993.
    I own the PAL version of Bubsy and it's got the Mega Drive logo on it, 16-bit cartridge written across the bottom black area of the front cover with the SEGA logo, plus 4 pics on the back and down below on the back cover side it clearly says
    ''Bubsy is a registered trademark of Accolade Inc. Licensed by Sega Enterprises Ltd. for play on the Sega ''Genesis'' system. Sega and Genesis are registered trademarks of Sega Enterprises Ltd. 1993 Accolade Inc. All rights reserved''.
    Not sure why the name ''Genesis is'' used instead of the PAL name ''Mega Drive'' on the back and if I recall the NTSC Genesis version of the game is the one that came in a light yellow box with a full colour manual and no mention of Sega anywhere on the box. There still might be some truth to your video Pojr as when booting up Bubsy it boots straight to the Accolade logo, no Sega logo is seen.
    Great video none the less and I look forward to more awesome content.

    If Accolade had used a reverse engineering method of copying the code for the lockout instead of copying it verbatim they probably would have been alright. When Compaq was trying to make an IBM PC compatible without infringing on IBM's actual code, the way they did it was they had two programming teams: One team would go through the IBM code and figure out what the code does, where it stores its variables and where the code execution start point is etc. Then they would give this generic information to team two without giving them the actual code. Team two would create all new code that does everything the original code does so that it could run the same software, operating system etc. This is how they avoided (mostly) copyright infringement with IBM.

    • @eDoc2020

    I love bubsy! currently I had more fun with the first bubsy than with the second, because even if the controls were rigid to turn backwards at least it had the right momentum and with the glide button you can pull bubsy backwards without any problem, and in any case bubsy is not never been criticized for his music in his series because they were catchy, even some admitted that some of the lyrics of bubsy's 3D abomination were good! bubsy 2 even though it had a great advantage over the first one thanks to the fact that it could be hit 3 times and the choice of weapons and objects which are very functional but the controls, even if not rigid, move schizophrenically, a bit like the first one zool for genesis, but I liked that one too!
    Well! others will be able to criticize its games as much as they want but bubsy 1 will always remain the best game and a masterpiece for snes and genesis for those who had a childhood with it, I never had a childhood with bubsy but the potential is perfectly visible and the beauty that exists in this cute wild bobcat!

    I don't see how it's trademark infringement if the console decides to claim my game is produced by Sega. I never said it was. I just had four bytes in a certain part of the code that could be interpreted as "SEGA". If they programmed it so that if it sees my game, it will say "I confess to planning to kill the President", that means I confessed?
    If they made it look at what gets printed to the screen, and only run if you write code specifically to print that, then I think that would make more sense. Though if I were the judge, and the game immediately clarified that it wasn't related to SEGA and they only wrote that to get it to run, I'd allow it. They're not trying to trick people into thinking Sega made it, which is what trademark is for.

      It's my understanding that Sega left a back door in their protection system, either intentionally or unintentionally, that allowed an unlicensed game to operate without the SEGA string and without triggering the licensing message. The argument was that Accolaide could have done the second method to run their unlicensed games without triggering the message.

    Sega screwed up their trademark security system, and made a version that was not legally enforceable.
    Because the console itself displayed the message, and only CHECKED the data in rom and written to ram by the game.
    The reason that the gameboy's system actually works from a legal standpoint is because it actually displays the trademarked bitmap from the rom.
    Of course that itself left a workaround. if the one displayed is not the one that is checked, then no trademark violation happens. an invisible trademark violation is not a violation at all.
    Argonaut software notably actually did this as a proof of concept to impress Nintendo, and didn't get in trouble for it, because their bypass of the TSS was legal. They then made Starfox.

    On the other hand, I know first-hand how shitty it is to have someone very obviously steal your code. Not even generic code, it was specific to our usecase and even kept the variable names with our internal prefixes.
    Courts back then, and even now in some cases, just don't have a good grasp on how software and digital media works.

    Video content aside, I’m glad you’ve decided to get rid of the recaps. At the end of these, it felt a little unnecessary at times, and I personally have the feeling that you would end up using them for a short form material, which honestly fits better than a recap of a relatively easy today just a story. Though I fully understand that I believe you’re targeting the general audience not just hard-core, so it makes it a little more sense to Be as descriptive as you are

      @@pojr The court case Atari vs Activision set the precedent for third-party games publishing. Until that case nobody was really sure. Activision were probably the first third-party publisher on a console. Yeah Atari's idea was they'd publish everything, they didn't think anyone else would be able to program the tricky little box, Activision was a few ex-Atari staff who had the knack. And went on to publish much _better_ games than a lot of Atari titles. Pitfall 2 is great in that there's a custom chip in there designed to do nothing but play Pitfall 2! It generates multi-channel music and streams graphics to the console, so the console doesn't have to do nearly as much calculating, allowing for such a sophisticated game.
