Play Space Funky B.O.B. Online

Space Funky B.O.B. came out on the Sega Genesis in 1993, developed by Gray Matter and published by Electronic Arts. It was part of that wave of early 90s platformers that weren't afraid to get a little weird, standing out with its offbeat style on a console known for its action-heavy library.

You control B.O.B., a small robot with an arsenal of bizarre weapons, navigating through enemy-filled facilities one screen at a time. Your main goal is to rescue your creator by blasting aliens, with stages that scroll in multiple directions and require careful exploration. The signature mechanics involve collecting power-ups that change your weapon; you might fire bouncing disco balls that make foes dance or launch seeking missiles that hunt targets. The pacing is fast and the difficulty is unforgiving, with precise jumps and quick reactions needed to survive the onslaught. It feels like a frantic, silly scramble where every new room could unleash a fresh wave of chaos.
