Socks the Cat Rocks the House, also known as Socks the Cat Rocks the House[1], is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by Realtime Associates and initially scheduled to be published by Kaneko in November 1993.[1] Starring the titular Socks Clinton (pet cat of 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton) in an attitude-colored mascot platformer role, its release date was eventually pushed back to March 1994[2], with the final possibility of a launch the following month[3] being missed entirely.

History
Background
Socks' frequent appearances on the Press Briefing Room's lectern bestowed him with the household name recognition sought by Kaneko.
Cancellation
Along with its Super Famicom counterpart, Socks the Cat Rocks the House is thought to have been cancelled following the closure of publisher Kaneko's American subsidiary. It would remain unheard of for the next 25 years, until an aftermarket seller acquired a prototype copy of the Super Famicom version and released in on a run of physical cartridges. While that version's ROM was soon dumped, the Mega Drive version's whereabouts remain unknown.
