When Chex Quest first came out, it was a prize in Chex cereal boxes. As a joke, I reviewed it for the Dallas Morning News, not expecting it to be published. But they published it anyway and it turned out to be one of my most popular reviews!
Yeah the McDonald's game would've been neat to have, but as you know, there would be licensing issues. Plus the fact that McDonald's doesn't like to acknowledge that the clown exists anymore. Kids today won't know that bygone era where we burned our butts on the Hamburglar slide outside or got trapped in the Mayor McCheese jungle gym.
I'd get a WonderSwan so I could play Klonoa: Moonlight Museum. It's the only Klonoa game I haven't played yet.
A crystal swan?
A while back I went back and played some Wii games and noticed how bad the graphics were. And I usually don't do that.
Yeah there's a Sonic rug and SEGA posters all over the walls!
A lot of those free-to-play mobile titles don't usually come to consoles, though.
Two neat details about the game room menu. The sun provides different lighting in the window depending on what time of day you play it. And even though I'm not a big Sonic fan, that Sonic rug is AWESOME!
I'm tempted to get some of those Mario Kart Hot Wheels. Hallmark just made a Mario Kart Christmas tree ornament.
When I was a kid, I played with cars when I was younger. I didn't have a ton, but I had enough. I had a little gas station set where you could slide the cars down a road. I also had a set of Hot Wheels made to look like the cars in The Dukes of Hazzard. Every time the TV would come on, I'd go get my Pac-Man TV tray and my Dukes of Hazzard cars and play with them in front of the TV while the show was on. I wish I still had those cars. I stopped playing with cars pretty early on, though. Once I discovered that video games were more fun, they took up most of my time after that.
I remember when Trivial Pursuit came out in the 80's and everyone had Trival Pursuit parties. We'd also read the questions cards at school and on road trips. The game itself, at least back then, was not very well designed, though. I think they've improved it since then.
The title comes from another one of their games that had "Loathing" in it.
