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 allegedly based on real-life American politicians, including a Jimmy Carter stand-in with a "smile attack". |

Socks The Cat Rocks The Hill is an unreleased 1993 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 particularly audience-friendly. Very rare prototype cartridges apparently exist, but no ROM has ever been leaked online.
