Back to the Multiverse ain't that bad(and as someone with autism I fail to see how it's "ableist" in any way, I didn't really see it as offensive or problematic, at least not on the same level as Ride to Hell at any rate), Simpsons Wrestling is WAY fucking worse.

I'm amazed at the fact that most of these games no matter what always come down to Garfield.

[@MontyDotharl]

Of course. You have now realized the eldritch truth. It is all Garfield. Your movies? Garfield. Your television programs? Garfield. Your unrelated cartoon videogames? Garfield. Religion? Government? The idea of education? All inventions by the mighty Garf. Garf is all. Surrender to the will of the omnipotent Garf and become one with the lasagna known as your destiny. There is no free will. Only Garf.

[@cabralanselmo5777]

Fun fact: Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse was originally going to be even MORE violent as it was pitched and had a prototype as a parody of Left 4 Dead where everyone was turned into zombies and Brian and Stewie were the only ones left with the same shooter gameplay style as the final game, but Seth MacFarlane saw this and didn't like it so he forced the devs to tone down the violence and change the plot to the Multiverse storyline.

[@jackcouch8322]

That’s a SO much better idea

[@dhgmrz17]

And I thought Family Guy was targeted towards a more mature audience.....

[@camharkness]

Of course Seth McFarland fucked up the game like that. It's just kinda him.

[@ShenDoodles]

I really like the multiverse thing, it just could've been handled far better. Imagine if the two were combined and you went across dimensions fighting Bertram's army of robots or something, with each dimension being smart and funny instead of just offensive. A 3D platformer would've worked best, but you can definitely make a good shooter out of Family Guy if you know what you're doing. Edit: I just looked it up. Brian and Stewie were playable, but so were Peter, Lois, Joe, Quagmire, and Adam West. It was gonna be called Road to Death.

[@jadedheartsz]

@@ShenDoodles I didn't find the game "offensive" in the least.

Is also extremely loved in México, his cartoons are still transmitted alongside the Looney Tunes

[@emesilverio85]

In Brazil he was more famous than bugs bunny.

Holy crap I remember playing Sitting Ducks when I was younger!! I remember getting super excited because you could freely run around the city, but then I somehow got lost and couldn't find the place I needed to go in order to advance the "story" and ended up having to take the game back because my rental was up

Can we all agree skateboarding Wimpy is awesome.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

It was a welcome surprise in an otherwise bone dry game.

[@Klonoahedgehog]

Woah... woah... sitting ducks. I've spent around 10 years trying to remember what that show was called, I had bits of this show in the back of my mind for years and I thought I just imagined it.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

It was one of those shows that was shown in the mornings on like, UPN or the WB back in the day. There were too many of those kind of shows to mention and they all kind of become a blur in your mind. But it's weird how we'll completely forget about something for decades and then see a video and it will come up and it'll be like whoa, I remember this.

[@noahmontgomery2969]

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I believe Cartoon Network use to air it at one point.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@noahmontgomery2969 I think I may be confusing it with piccola (maybe not exact name but it had Michael Cena doing a voice) another computer animated show that just happened to also have a duck as the main character. You're right though I do believe Cartoon Network played sitting ducks at some point or another in the early 2000s. (I didn't have any kind of television beyond the internet between 2006-2015 so that's just my best guess)

[@Montythegold]

I love sitting ducks its my favorite cartoon. I feel like im the only sitting ducks fan

[@HowDoIMakeAUsername]

Sitting Ducks just sounds like The Simpsons: Hit and Run but we're not ready for that conversation yet

[@VexAcer]

Hit & Run is definitely the much better game. The car handling was fun & satisfying and the missions were a lot more interesting even if they did reuse the same objective formulas. Loved Hit & Run for being a fun sandbox & driving game as kid and hated Sitting Ducks at the same time for its overall frustrating/bad design.

[@fuzzyslippersyt]

I miss that we don't get licensed crap like this anymore, always good for a laugh or cheap rental lol

[@Ryanmiller70]

We still do, it's just not as frequent and they're not as amazingly terrible. A Ben 10 game was announced not that long ago and if it's anything like the 2017 game it'll be a beautifully boring slog. Not to mention a new Paw Patrol game, Bakugan, Transformers, Nickelodeon Kart Racers, and can't forget motherfucking Shaun the Sheep.

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I recommend the channel Cartoon Review, it's reviews of these kinds of games from cartoon network. I don't always agree with the reviews but it's still fun to see from a safe distance..!

[@monkeymagic00001]

These games are still everywhere they are just lost in online stores, they only give physical releases to this shit when they are due out at Xmas nowadays, apart from the occasional big Disney or dreamworks movies, they also jumped on the vr bandwagon for a bit, now those licensed games are the worst.

I did not know I was gonna find out that the Disney Afternoon Collection got its name from a television block of the 90s in this video, but I'll take it! Also Talespin was pretty good. I liked how Sheer Khan wasn't the direct antagonist in that show, just the ominous CEO.

I played a number of these as a kid, and at the time I thought I was bad at the game. Now I know these games were just actual bullshit.

That is what we call the great "nostalgia epiphany". This is just like how there were certain games we loved as a kid and we go back now and we realized they're awful.

[@zero195]

One of the main reasons why a show kinda based on The Jungle Book was chosen was that at the time it was in development, Jungle Book was the 4th highest grossing DIsney movie at the time. I never even knew there was a NES game made for it until the collection came out, even thou I had Ducktales and Chip and Dale.

[@BalooDumptruck]

I owned not one, not two but THREE of these games as a kid. Talespin (which I never watched so no idea why my parents bought it for me), Beast Wars and Reboot (both of which I was/am a huge fan of). I’m glad you confirmed the unplayability and difficulty of them, since I was worried it was just me when I could barely beat the first level in any of them. I sold them all a while ago but probably should’ve held on to at least the two PS1 games. I definitely spent hours of my youth in the first and second levels of Beast Wars and Reboot though. Those giant slugs in Reboot still terrify me.
