Socks the cat unreleased game GAMEPLAY
1994 SNES video game that starred a cartoon, fictionalized version of Bill Clinton's famous pet cat, Socks.
Although the game was fully developed and featured in ads and game expositions, its release was cancelled. Reasons are unknown, although it has been speculated that it was due to the political satire inside the game that would not have been audience-friendly.
Very rare cartridges apparently exist, but no ROM circulates on the Internet.
Plot
According to magazine articles, the game was about Socks who had to fight foreign spies invading the White House and so he would go through several levels to fight enemies such as rats in trenchcoats.
Bosses were alledgedly based on real-life American politicians, including a Jimmy Carter stand-in with a "smile attack".
Availability
A person on YouTube has uploaded an (intentionally) blurry video of the game being played on a TV. Despite countless requests, the alleged owner of the cartridge has refused to dump the ROM to the public, and asks a huge sum of money to sell his game copy.
