Doug (1992)

Doug is a edited/licensed port of The Adventures of Quik & Silva, based on the Nickelodeon version of the same name, developed by The Code Monkeys and published by Accolade and released in 1992 for Sega Genesis (not licensed by Sega) and Game Boy. A version of SNES was cancelled, but both Doug and Universal Soldier are cancelled.

Gameplay
The gameplay is the same as on The Adventures of Quik & Silva, except that the sprites are changed to Doug and his dog, and various several substitutions was made (as with Accolade's redesigning of Turrican II into Universal Soldier). First of these, Sonic the Hedgehog was replaced with Phil Funnie, because Accolade didn't want Sega to license the character (so keep in mind that Accolade didn't get a license from Sega), and other enemies were replaced due to licensing issues by those from Nickelodeon's Doug TV show. Also, the music in the whole game were replaced by renditions of the score from the Nickelodeon's Doug TV show. Also the stages were edited to replace backgrounds with those from Nickelodeon's Doug TV show.

Production
Accolade however decided to bring the European import The Adventures of Quik & Silva onto consoles and handheld systems after the success of bringing Turrican onto consoles and handhelds. It was developed using the Atari ST source code and Amiga graphics as a base. Later on, Accolade gave the license from MTV Networks to adapt the cartoon Doug onto a video game and decided to rebrand the Mega Drive conversion as Doug (similar to how Accolade rebranded Turrican II as Universal Soldier).

Reception
It recevied negative reviews scoring on EGM on the Genesis version as 3.5/10 and the Game Boy version as 2/10 and Nintendo Power gave the Game Boy version 1/10.
