As the nation contemplates the important post-election issue of what kind of puppy Barack Obama will get for Sasha and Malia now that they're moving to the White House, here's a bit of history you may not have known: there was going to be a videogame about Bill Clinton's cat called Socks Rocks the Hill. The following is ad copy from the game's developer:

Socks must overcome the likes of foreign spies, Enemy Animal Agents, politicians, secret service agents and the ever-present media corp. To keep the party alive, Socks pounces, tumbles, and negotiates his way out of the intricate secret passages and puzzles of Washington. This cat is in a ring of trouble, but not over the hill yet! 'Socks Rocks the Hill' is a one or two player 8 MEG game for Genesis and SNES. Comedic action, scrolling graphics and playful movement make this game a platform to run on, and on and on. Rock on with Kaneko USA's 'Socks Rocks the Hill.' Available nationwide this fall!

Sadly, it was in fact never available. Shortly after finishing the game but before it was duplicated for distribution, the developer closed down.
