If you’re thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI
Elder millennial, here. One of the weird things about the 90s was cereal boxes marketed to little bastards like me at the time would often have some kind of toy included in it.
PC gaming was kind of in its infancy and growing rapidly in popularity, so eventually the inevitable happed: a cereal company promoted their cereal by shoving a fucking CD into it, that little bastards like me lost their shit over, installed, and played the snot out of.
It was literally just Doom, except reskinned so the demons were boogers, and everything else was a fucking Chex cereal advertisement.
AND IT WAS AMAZING! lol
Best box of cereal my parents ever bought. Not a bargain bin, but I feel like “in a box of cereal” fits the spirit of the question.
Cornflakes is cereal. AoE is Age of Empires, you might have heard about it. The comment I replied to was talking about games being released in cereal boxes. Where is the context lacking?
all shareware was bargain bin.
Jazz Jackrabbit was THE fucking SHIT.
Second reply…
I distinctly remember in my city various computer stores had kiosks which were basically coin op PCs and for $1 you could transfer shareware onto a floppy disk. You were still responsible for paying for the full license if you liked it.
Does anybody else remember these?
Dungeon Keeper. I can still hear the sound FX of a slapped imp, or the Dark Mistress’ scream
Castlevania Symphony of The Night!
Apparently it released at a time when 3d graphics were the new hotness and it originally flew under the radar for a lot of people.
Loved every minute of it!
Age of Empires 2 when a Kmart was closing down back in like 2001.
