Bucky O’Hare is an action-platformer developed and published by Konami for the NES, based on the comic and TV series. Players start as the rabbit captain Bucky and, across four selectable planet stages, rescue crew members Dead-Eye, Jenny, Blinky, and Willy — each becoming playable with unique abilities that can be switched on the fly. The final stage is an auto-scrolling shoot ’em up.
