Rascal (also known as Bubblegun Kid in Japan) is a platformer/action game developed by Traveller's Tales in part with Jim Henson's Creature Shop and Psygnosis that was originally released for the PlayStation in the United States on March 31, 1998 by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was later distributed in Japan by Takara and in the United Kingdom by Psygnosis.
[edit] Plot
In the game, the player assumes the role of a blonde haired boy named Callum Clockwise armed with a toy gun that shoots bubbles, in a mission through six worlds to rescue his father from the master of time, Chronon. Chronon, the evil villain, in the end is defeated, due to Rascal's determination.
[edit] Reception
The game was very badly received by critics and gamers alike. The main criticisms leveled at the game were loose controls and a relentlessly problematic camera. 3D platform games were in vogue at the time, following the success of Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot in 1996, and Croc: Legend of the Gobbos the previous year. Rascal was perceived by many as a half-hearted attempt to jump on this bandwagon, but it failed to perform as well as expected, although it was praised for its graphics.
