The 2001 NSYNC Hotline Fantasy Phone Game

Soon it's gonna be May, so let's check out this silliness! The *NSYNC Hotline Fantasy Phone & CD-ROM Game for Windows PCs, a 2001 plastic toy cell phone and interactive NSYNC parasocial fan experience... Thing... In hindsight, I have no idea why I covered this, haha

[@chaoszonenate]

I was 10 years old in 2001 and would have been the *perfect* age for this. By the time I was a pre-teen the millennia was rife with 'gadget toys' that were just (in hindsight) cheap plastic gimmicks but boy were they entertaining. Talking journals, TV on the go. All those robot pets. It was a gap of time before the world went fully high tech, so it feels like it was a really unique bridge period to experience growing up.

[@Milamberinx]

For me the most notable of the popular gadget toys was the tamagotchi, I was 12 when it came out in 1997, my best friend and I went to the shop to buy one each together. I still remember having those phantom "beedoo beedoo" noises at school.

I picked this up in a bargain bin in 2004. Just the disc, no hardware. Couldn’t get it to work at all. Might still have it somewhere. I honestly preferred Britney’s Dance Beat. Still better than the Christina Aguilera Follow Your Dreams software suite thing. (I refuse to call it a game. It was not a game. The Disney Print Shop thingies were more of a game than that.) Anyway, for maximum ’Nsyncer gaming it was always making the group in the Sims. Frankly, I still do make a set in every gen of the game. Lance always falls in love with JC first.

@@minosc5949 Somehow I wouldn't be entirely surprised! And somehow I could see some programmer, after having been given some fable of what sort of amazing project this is going to be, finally getting to see the overview and notes, saying, "... This is total bullshit!"

[@kylenesbitt1405]

Put this kind of stuff in my veins! I love when you cover random/unique video games

That Anarchy Online ad in the newspaper..... The memories it invoked.....

[@RiffRaffMama.]

Ahh the early 2000's... what a time to be alive.

I need an LGR Blerbs video of Clint fleshing out this bubble-gumiest 90's pop band scale. We know *NSYNC is near the top of the list, but by God I need more information!

[@sentientprogram9699]

When you first mentioned Infogrames I thought of that song, and then it played. Well done.

[@leeconstant7261]

Dont ever doubt yourself. Its videos like these that got me into this channel a long time ago. Still love them ❤

[@ThatOneGirlThatPlays]

There has got to be a way to rig that phone up with voices from your favorite game franchises. Imagine Duke Nukem calling you just to say “reload”.

[@blondjon]

More videos like this. Quirky 90's, early internet, Y2K products.

[@marzzbar]

I always love your work, but this is actually one of the funniest videos I've seen from you in a long time!

[@seangraham-qf8tp]

Always a joy to see what you come out with next. Always a good video thanks man I appreciate you

[@bcyrx]

This is actually kind of a cool package for a tween I think. I bet if there was a "boy version" of this (like some secret agent theme or something) I would have had a blast.

[@Catwomen4512]

I feel like a lot of girls would've preferred that too!

[@megamix5403]

Also, I remember playing the NSYNC Game Boy Color game. They were selling it at my local dollar store and my morbid curiosity got the better of me. Safe to say, I wouldn't even have bought it for a dollar.

[@eveisuponus]

The silly details in this review cracked me up so many times that I had to pause-- the Infogrames song, Chris wanting to be friends with Jesus, the very well-composed shot of you presumably stepping outside to pretend to talk to Justin Timberlake...

[@LGR]

Hehe. Yeah I had some fun with this one.
