as a member of the mlp collector community, ESPECIALLY g3: THIS WAS LOST MEDIA!! we dont even have this listed on ANY of our wikis! all we had listed was a book released for the original story reader, star catcher's starlight party. thank you SO much for work finding and releasing this.

back in the 2010s, there was a mobile game called Blocksworld that was relatively obscure. It had a somewhat sizeable online community, but I never saw it talked about on youtube or anything. I remember them doing an official Hasbro collaboration where you could purchase a mlp bundle. This allowed you to make games with the pony themed assets and play as the characters. Might be interesting to look into.

You know, the most obscure piece of Mlp media to me is the 2012 mcdonalds flash game for the app store that Mcdonalds rolled out when Equestria Girls released. I have found rarely any media covering it and it was a scannable game you could play if you had the toys with the pattern. Its unplayable today but I really miss that game for some reason still. small edit: HELLO I DIDNT EXPECT SO MANY PEOPLE TO REMEMBER THIS??? even if its 35! i thought i was the only one idk 😭

There are only so many ways you can recount the story of the Lion King via childrens book, ya know. Either way, good video!!

OMG I REMEMBER SEEING THAT ONE ON THE APP STORE WHEN I WAS LIKE, 8!!! From what i gathered, it was a parody of weird pony flash games made by a brony or something and they had to change the name of the game to "pony torture" because so many little kids were downloading the game on accident and the dev ended up getting a lot of backlash from parents

I remember when I was little i used to play a official G4 Hasbro game about you customizing a pony and getting animations of your pony with the mane six, I don’t remember it well but you could also play mini games. You’d have to clear the sky with rainbow dash, harvests apples in sweet apple acres and pack candies in Sugarcube Corner (and Pinkie Pie was the one giving you the candy, and you could feed her some) I don’t remember if the first part and mini games were separate games, but many people confuse it with a game exactly like this but you could walk around ponyville and you had to earn money to unlock accesories

Hello, SpongeRobert SquareTrousers story preservationist here. I'd just like to go on record to say this video does an amazing job of documenting this obscure piece of edutainment history. the Go Diego Go and Little Mermaid games/stories are indeed real, but it's a mystery if they were ever released... the only evidence of their existence comes from advertising on the back of the SpongeBob book (i have a community post with the aforementioned back of the book) in which cover, and cartridge art is shown. The best possible explanation I can think of is that they were cancelled after the console gained little to no success.. Really enjoyed watching this, thanks for the brief shoutout! ^^

if you want to try some mlp fangames, there's this one i found recently in the play store called Slaughter Horse 2. It's inspired by creepypastas like cupcakes, but it's not graphic as far as im aware, just has the classic creepy themes. It has interesting mechanics and story, and it's mostly based on strategy, tho it's a little hard, haven't been able to win yet.
