Who remembers spice girls game on PS1 that I was v lucky to not get and smarties meltdown on PS2 I knew about through Argos catalog???

[@Alloy101010]

I had that captain crunch game for sooo long. I gave it to a high school teacher of mine for their kid as I had well outgrown it but to this day still with to play it again now.

[@bertcarroll1243]

Oh, I remember that when I was little and it’s been too long😂 4:48

[@mr_niceguy9283]

I'm old enough to remember the 7up game on Sega that I spent WAY too much time on lol

[@ricolives1166]

Gotham city imposters was honestly REALLY fun but the servers kept crashing and going down. Also it sadly had a small player base

[@spencergarner6085]

I loved that game

[@apemonky1614]

I remember when it was free with Xbox live gold back on the 360 it looked stupid but it was really fun spent a good few hours on it

[@jumugama]

I hated how by the time I got into it peolple were steamrolling me. I did not have fun.. and the lack of single player content sucked

[@LuchoPonx]

This game was so much fun, played it on PS3 because they gave it for free on PS+

[@spencerstolte9827]

Loved it for sure

[@kjsoeder9477]

A Gotham City Impostors reboot on current gen consoles would be fantastic. Really miss that game

[@MrGUnit27]

To be fair to Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest, it makes way more sense for a cheetah to go that fast than it does for a hedgehog

[@Apolloscleric]

I unironically love Darkened Skye. It has such a tongue in cheek sense of humor that manages to stay consistently entertaining.

[@spideyfan804]

I grew up with the cap n crunch game, as a little kid i enjoyed playing it, especially the skateboarding level. But as adult, i can see how it can get boring. The game ends with the antagonist laughing or growling from the distance, makes you think theres was gonna be a sequel

[@majorg6065]

I had that game too and did not realize until now, almost 31 years old. This video unlocked a 24 year old memory.

[@keithegan8035]

You skipped the 80's game that starred the Dominos anti-mascot, the Noid.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

He had an NES game as well and On PC. The PC one you don't play him but A pizza guy getting tricked by the noid.

[@Bullman422]

Yeah I really expected Avoid the Noid to be there somewhere on the list

[@michaelmeyer4682]

That game was made by Capcom. Not bad at all

[@Wave_Knight]

Bro, avoid the noid

[@Spazbo4]

an interesting thing about the burger king trilogy games is that all games work on both xbox and xbox 360, where each version of the game is on a separate part of the disc and its not just the xbox 360 using backwards compatibility to play it

[@AngelCam7]

If WB brought back Gotham City Imposters, I *might* forgive their recent shortcomings... *Maybe...*

[@Alex-ng6hc]

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but how amazing would it be if a game featuring the many colourful characters from Tim Burton films all in an alternate shared universe was developed? Imagine the possibilities considering how many great films he's made

[@medes5597]

There was very briefly work done on a "Tim Burton's kingdom hearts" as a spin off, that was intended to focus on Burtons extensive work with Disney (after he had that exclusivity contract with them). However the exclusivity contract with Disney ended and Disney opted to end the KH spinoff development before much work was done.

[@wincute100]

I played a lot of Pepsiman when I was a kid. Until I am adult, I never realized that game was never released on America and Europe before. I, myself, is from Indonesia, so we still get some games imported from Japan, like Doraemon SOS, Front Mission 2, Namco X Capcom, Bishi Bashi Special, Mother 3 etc. so I kinda lucky

[@Dremag_Gaming]

I find it ironic that a game that's based off a American soda wasn't released in the US. 😆

[@wincute100]

@@Dremag_Gaming Riiiight!? 😅 . That's why when I was kid, I never thought of this game was Japan released. and they use white people on their cutscene, so I thought "off course this was American game " 😅

[@karlsingh9076]

Ugh. The theme made him very annoying.

[@carlosrodriguez-di3bs]

I have Pepsi man for Dreamcast

[@magusxxx]

For the record: Gotham City Imposters was based on Detective Comics #867-870. So it's not really that weird for DC to license a storyline they published.

[@TyGamer0426]

I LOVED Gotham City Imposters

[@RyuujinLetum]

That game was so much fun

[@BlueFieldGamer]

Imposter... Among us SUS

[@marcusricks7366]

Loved the Cap'n crunch game and yes I still have it

[@joshuagorski9452]

M&Ms Kart Racing & Adventure were 2 of the weirdest DS games I owned as a kid

[@nafisishtiaque]

Gotham city imposter was lit

[@guyfranchise934]

I broke out my NES the other day. I started looking through the big pile of grey cartridges when I came across a really weird one I completely forgotten about. I have a working copy of THE NOID

[@PaNDaSNiP3R]

I was so good at Gotham city imposters. I was the skinny skater chick on skates and would just destroy 😂 miss that game honestly

[@aidanagain995]

I remember when I was a kid, my mom brought home a 2nd hand Pepsi Man for my PS1. It was totally awesome! I would play it for hours and hours and the iconic intro of "Pepsi Maaaaaaaaan!" ahhhh. Music to my ears

[@rig-zag]

They really need to make a fighting game featuring a roster of these product mascots, like 7UPs Spot vs Dominos Noid, Cap'n Crunch vs. Chester Cheetah, so on so forth

[@-maddogmillionaire-baddogb5457]

I was thinking the same thing. They also need to add characters like Ronald McDonald, Snap Crackle and Pop, BuzzBee, Tony the Tiger, Geico Gecko, Pillsbury Doughboy, Green Giant, Kool Aid Man, Mr. Peanut, etc.

[@Gremlinsfan40]

A piece of trivia about the who framed Roger rabbit video game that wasn't mentioned: it was released by the king of all bad movie based video games. That's right, I'm talking about ljn. Or, as the angry video game nerd would put it, laughing joking numnuts.

[@AshleyNichole123]

Not gonna lie the Captain Crunch hame had my childhood in a chokehold 😭❤️ I used to love that game. Thanks for reminding me that it existed

[@ozzy9226]

Just came here to say that I wish they never got rid of Gotham city imposters that game was so awesome I miss it so much

[@minimog16uk]

The oddest game I ever owned was Animal - a point and click adventure game starring Pepperami. The main character was voiced by Ade Edmondson and even mentioned a sequel...which never happened.

[@toughluck8012]

I totally forgot about Gotham imposters. The servers are almost certainly shut down now

[@BlueSnakeShell]

Imposters was fun light hearted game. It gave TF2 vibes. Miss this game.

[@mikemoss6045]

Fun fact: moonwalker had thriller for round 3 the cemetery level. But was pulled because it wasn't Witten by Jackson himself. BUT there is rev 0 carts that play a bit of thriller if you during the dance sequence. Also et was ahead of its time.

[@Nitemerican]

That Capn Crunch game was 🔥

[@terenceflagg6270]

Pepsiman was created by Japan's Pepsi corporate division. Surprised they didn't show Pepsiman appearance in Sega Fighting Vipers game. That's the first time I saw him. Of course it was the Japanese import of the game. The America version had the character with no Pepsi symbol

[@carlosrodriguez-di3bs]

I actually bought Fighting Vipers for that reason

[@edgardeitz5746]

The American version should've been unaltered in that effect, then...

[@temporary67315]

M&Ms: The Lost Formula and Pepsiman were definitely games I played in my childhood, right down to getting constantly thrashed!

[@karlsingh9076]

I wonder if you gotten beaten up because you played those games

[@temporary67315]

@@karlsingh9076 I was referring to how I'd constantly lose lives in those pair of games but no, I didn't actually get beaten up during my childhood

[@WadeLife]

Not even 30 seconds in the 2 games that come to mind are the 7up Game called "Cool Spot" and the "California Raisin" game. Great upload👍🏻

[@StutteringStoryteller]

Sneak King is still one of my all-time favorite games lmao, I loved it so much!

[@BlazerK1914]

Imposter: “We’re trying to help!” Batman: “No gun, no kill.” Imposter: *sighs*

[@cutefelixful]

i forgot gotham city imposters existed, it was one of the first games i ever played on steam. i still have Garfield kart furious racing and Chex quest in my steam library

[@Exotiiic107]

So no one is gonna mention Doritos crash course for the 360?? I use to love that game 😭😭

[@JBob08]

It's all about Cool Spot, man. The 7-Up mascot game was awesome...I think.

[@joffa99m44]

Playstation All-stars Island (sponsored by cola zero) for IOS and Android. It was so good. Should really be an actual game, music is lit in it.

[@jamalvargas6146]

I'm Surprised Nick at Nite Didn't Get a Video Game that block was firing at all cylinders during the early to mid 1990's with licensed merchandise crazy man crazy

[@tomhutchison4909]

I remember that captain crunch game so well god what a throw back!

[@christophertooze8800]

Just started this video but I hope the old Mr.Pibb game is featured in this!

[@blutomindpretzel1735]

Chex Quest was awesome! so glad it was remastered last year

[@Lean_Goblin]

That Capin Crunch game was lit back in the day

[@gretahhounshell3061]

5 weeks to make a game?! dang that is surprising... that is great work considering the time on developing the game....

[@tropixi5336]

gotham city imposters needs a come back

[@KellyKMc]

Gotham City Imposters was awesome. I sunk a lot of hours into that game.

[@StudioInkblot]

My cousin had Cap'n Crunch and I wasn't convinced I remembered it right

[@phatdaddydm5255]

I'd give anything just to have one more night playing Gotham City Imposters with the boys.

[@Master.Debater]

I bet you would

[@FastTquick]

I didn’t know Pepsiman was a 3D endless runner game. I thought T.E.C. 3001 was the first 3D endless runner game ever released.

[@kevdogyt08ti]

Mojo reviews TV shows, movies, AND VIDEO GAMES?! YEAH! :O I didn't know Mojo had MojoPlays (until now)... Nice.

[@wise_thaat]

I straight up dominated Gotham City imposters until it died

[@devinfaucette]

Bruh!!!! That's totally Jasmine from Aladdin on Darkened Skye!! Lmao 🤣 you never forget her voice!!

[@alexcarlson663]

I used to play captain crunch and M&Ms for the computer many years ago back when I was a kid

[@Bfitzgerald82]

for a next list, California Raisins - PC Game 1988. I totally played this and it is so odd to exist.

[@TawJev]

Yo, my friend, this vid is great, but it would be better if you'd put the games's systems at the subtitles so we can know with console each game was released.

[@acertaincheese2340]

Gotham City Imposters was Goated tbh, just needed better servers.

[@AutisticPhantomOtaku]

You know, there was also a racing game for Heathcliff. I feel like that should have at least received a mention.

[@Glaugan]

1:23 "unarmed combat" (Proceeds to show footage of people using weapons) Pretty convincing there dude...

[@deanmarino6961]

Addressing 5:38, did anyone else with this Captain Crunch cd game ever realize it doubled as an audio cd with a whole 20 minute story?

[@Wasabi69123]

Gotham City Imposters was so fun I wish they would make a comeback it would do so well too 😮‍💨

[@demon92490]

I loved that captain crunch game!

[@benjaminvance8142]

Pepsi Man needs to join the Avengers

[@ericb3157]

that "captain crunch" game sort of reminds me of the "Duck LIfe" games...

[@1Buffalodrummer]

I miss Gotham City Importers...

[@darthslater8722]

I loved that first Star Wars game when I was a kid lol

[@MrNile00000]

Bro needs to cross off "titular" in his thesaurus.

[@lobodesade6780]

Loved ravages of apocalypse, such a fun game.

[@justberp734]

I’m surprise you didn’t mention the Kellogg’s krave temple run clone that game was as good as the cereal its self so pretty good

[@Slimerson93]

I used to always wanna play Sneak King growing up lol

[@letsplayturbo]

i was actually expecting goat simulator to be in the list haha, or or.. Mister Mosquito or maybe Seaman (yep that is actually the game's name, dont get me wrong) well pepsiman and moonwalker michael jackson aint that bad

[@ajc1213]

I had all 3 burger king video games lol. The pocket bike racer was great. The bumper cars 2nd best lol

[@rogeliolarronda]

20:04 “Not everything needs an adaptation” I doubt the mentality behind the ET game was mainly to adapt the movie. ET the movie being the success it was, I think not doing a game tie-in would’ve been a wasted opportunity.

[@TheMajor8478]

The ol Binford 6100 everything lol

[@charlesisbell6561]

The Chex mix game god I played the hell out of it as a kid

[@jonathanmyers3466]

You know what? The cheeto chester video game was really addictive!

[@TonysOfficialCreations]

Shaq Foo... The player icon is "Generic Bald Black Man"! Besides... everything about it, I most likely would've bought it.

[@matthewbouley9188]

I specifically remember playing a game called Avoid the Noid. Domino's pizza. Where's that at?

[@noiisserpmii]

I remember the gotham city imposters ad inside the game case of Arkham City

[@ThePhenomenalEX]

Gotham City Impostors was my go-to game for the longest time back in the day. It was way more fun than it had any right to be. Still hoping for a sequel someday.

[@mackdregaming9170]

Fun fact i just finished my bag of m&ms right when he spoke about them

[@XerouEffect13]

that Cool Spot game makes me think of the Gex games ... the premise i mean

[@wranglerofdusk]

Darkened Skye is quite a good game, with cool story and characters and atmosphere, so I don' think it's fair to call it forgettable.

[@TheTagger76]

My best memory was when i was playing gotham imposter when i was 8 and a guy in like mid 30s invite me to a party and start shit talking me

[@jonmday87]

Okay, replacing the word “hamburger” with “hot steamy-meat sandwich” probably devastated me more than the games. 😆

[@yokaju100]

ID 4 floppy game that came with the action figure

[@CinemaChameleon]

Imagine creating a video game so god-awful you make humanity lose faith in the video game industry to the extent that you temporarily kill it off entirely.

18:20 New Snow Day map for Rocket League?

[@EmberMcLain87]

i still remember getting my xbox 360 on christmas day back in 2006. i got perfect dark zero, kameo: elements of power, burger king pocket bike racer,, and i think 1 other game i can't remember. loved playing the racer, but all i really wanted to do that day was play sonic 06, but when i drove up to my local blockbuster they wouldn't allow me to rent xbox 360 games without having a major credit card on file. well needless to say i was mad back then, but after seeing it years later i think they did me a solid with that rule.

[@natejoe9924]

I didn't even know that they had a video game of Chester the Cheetah

[@Assassin-ys5vw]

Avgn introduced me to Pepsi man and what a wild ride it was 😂

[@jacobschneider5438]

Anyone remember the Oreo game where you organized pipes to make Oreo filling flow?

[@Leo-pd4fc]

Ive been interested of that Garfield Kart Mario Kart racing game a long time since it was came out, maybe i'll buy it for my ps4. By the way I really like Michael Jackson's music he really was a creator of pop music and now he's a legend. I like he's songs like Thriller, Black or White, Beat it, Who's bad and of corse A Smooth criminal. 😆

I wanna play Pepsi Man remake 2023!! 🥤🥤

[@sheemalmighty]

I loved Shaq Fu as a kid

[@CitadelofRicks]

I unironically liked Gotham City Impostors. I was upset when GameSpy shuttered its doors so we lost the PS3 version, but I believe the Xbox 360 version lived on longer.

[@RigorMortiis]

I don't understand how you did not add the McDonalds Treasure land of all games. I assumed it would be number 1 on the list without a doubt. Wth man?

Teras kasi, the unarmed style of combat with guns and lightsabers

[@theanimeguy13ify]

I'm thinking about playing Pepsiman on Playstation via emulator at some point, but I'm not sure yet.

[@TonysOfficialCreations]

In my opinion...Maybe even collective opinion, ALL video/pc/arcade games should be publicly available after a certain amount of time. As with most other media.
