m76 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Branded games are basically advertisements in game format, they are games designed to promote a commercial brand. Not to be confused with games that feature licensed brands. Have you played any game like this, and were they any good? DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a technicality, they are technically brand games, but the games themselves are fun enough to not feel like brand games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 When people think of brand games on Playstation One, their first thought is likely to be Pepsiman. However I recall M&Ms: Shell Shocked as a very clumsy Crash Bandicoot knock-off that at least tried to be decent. Reviewing that one was rather fun. Doritos Dash of Destruction was kinda neat; you played as a car picking up Doritos evading dinosaurs, or you'd play as a dinosaur destroying the town and eating up the cars before they collected the Doritos. Beyond that there's not many that I remember playing. There's loads of them out there, the 7-Up game "Cool Spot" for instance, but few that I've played.

I played Cool Spot, it is actually a pretty good game, some say it's one of the best platformers.I didn't even know at the time that it is a brand game. Others I've played are Guldkorn Express The latest I remember was BMW M3 Challenge from 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I think cartoon network had a flash site full of such branded games, they used to have Ben10 do Oreo collection or something like that. Then Miniclip had the sponsored brand games too. I think web based games are market for such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Spot is definitely a stand out game for such brand based games. It was quite popular at the time when it first hit the market which we all knew how popular SEGA was at the time.

Empire Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Most free games that you can get hold off from apps or whatnot offers that 🙂 but not branded games in that matter.

Darth Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I wouldn't consider Top Eleven as a branded game. That's just a football management/strategy game that has Mourinho as the brand image. It's not a game about Mourinho. I don't think I've ever played any brand based games. I wouldn't mind playing a McDonalds cooking based game though, might be fun to learn about their cooking techniques lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yo! Noid on NES was always a fun game. It's a Dominos Pizza advertisement game. I saw Pepsiman for the first time from AVGN. I never knew it even existed before that. Yo! Noid is monotonous as hell and really pointless by today's standards, but I enjoyed the hell out of it, and still do to this day.

Kane99 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 So essentially stuff like pepsiman, cool spot, that mckids game, and the Burger king games back in the mid 2000s. There are some good brand themed games, but there's more bad ones than good out there. On and Doritos Crash Course, that game was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I wonder if in near future the gameshow based games would be coming out on internet too. I remember wheel of fortune was craze when I was kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only be interested in learning how to make their burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
