Candy Land (Windows, 1998) Gameplay

Another board game adaptation! And once again, just like with Chutes and Ladders, I got this game during its run as a General Mills cereal box prize. This is an alright adaptation, though very much a by-the-numbers one. The only real addition over the board game here is the inclusion of minigames based on locations found in the original game.
And, since the question will inevitably rise again -- no, I did not play this with three other players. Again, this game entirely depends on the luck of an RNG with no real player input involved. I felt it would be most interesting if I had the maximum amount of players around and would also bring about the highest likelihood that I would be able to show every board travel scene. And it all worked out indeed -- the only thing I missed out on was traveling the rainbow path. I even got all of the wild cards (which is what I call any of the pink cards with an icon that take you to a specific space) too which is neat. Speaking of, good heavens I forgot how much those cards can screw you over.
Through the latter half of the board game, especially after the first player reached the end, I turned off movies and just started rushing everyone across the board. It was late at night and I was sick of playing at that point, plus I was getting sick of watching everything slowly crawl by, and just wanted to be done. I then went back and showed off all the minigames. None of them are very intricate but you gotta be complete, right?
Hope you enjoy this walkthrough. I don't have much else to say.

I, Skeletor personally played countless hours of this game and loved it. I rate this game 10/10 bags of nostalgic popcorn.

That intro still touches my heart. Also loved making ice cream and feeding the whale. The toppings were hilarious.

I so had this CD-ROM! I got it in a cereal box and I loved going to Lord Licorice’s castle and turning the lights off on him! That was so funny!

this is something that will forever remain in my brain. I don’t think I will ever be able to forget it, the sounds, the visuals- the whole game from the gingerbread to loading screen is just embedded inside of me.

[@RealmRabbit]

Omg... The fact that it shows you a cinematic of walking down the path...

[@marketmagus]

I used to skip high school and play this when my depression was really bad. It made life bearable

[@TheWolfGuardians]

I spent so much time on these mini games as a kid. Really happy to see this again.

[@mewchimew]

I audibly gasped when blue had to go back the gingerbread area

[@ginniekinz5401]

Lord Liquorice was my favourite character in this game as a kid,p. I thought he was so hilarious, and his castle was the coolest thing! 🏰

I just have to say, thanks so much for the high quality upload of this gameplay. As lame as it might look compared to today's standards of visuals, the first person segments bring such vivid feelings of nostalgia for how magical this game felt to me as a kid.

[@TigerBites4000]

I got this game in a cereal box as a kid and the imagery is deeply ingrained in my mind to this day! Nobody I’ve talked to has ever heard of this game

[@Marvel2328]

I have no idea why this game suddenly popped into my head after 15+ years, but thanks for uploading this so I could relive a bit of my childhood.

I had leukaemia as a child, and played this game at the hospital all the time. So much nostalgia wow.

[@avengersprime5431]

My god the nostalgia. I remember playing this on my parents’ old Windows computer years ago when I was five.

[@M_jewles]

I honestly started crying man this was the best game 😭 the memories are high

[@moearochette1046]

this unlocked parts of my brain that I thought were fever dreams. but they’re real memories holy smokes! I remember it even tho I played only as a 4 year old

[@MissAnthrope]

the ice cream sea was always the best i spent hours there

[@ericalopez7040]

My grandpa taught me how to use a computer at age 6 and I remember him getting all these fun games from cereal boxes 😂 they really need to start that again.. these games were amazing and fun and super magical to play! I loved playing Clue, candy land, monopoly, pyjama sam, putt putt fish and more! I wish they made the exact games but higher quality 🥺😭💖
