Yeah, Darkened Skye. Man, that game had the cruddiest game controls. It would have been a really good game if it had been designed better.

My brother and I LOVED that Cool Spot game! We played the crap out of it!

Like Modesty, I remember playing Global Gladiators… a strange McDonald’s tie-in game for the Sega Genesis. It was actually a pretty fun platform adventure game, though a bit odd.

The Wikipedia page on the game is here:

I also actually really enjoyed the Cool Spot game as a child. Genesis had some strange games..

regarding cool spot:
when i was married, we had a game system and some games for our two children. when my husband and i split, he and our son got “custody” of the games, (one of which was cool spot), and my daughter and i got the apartment and the stereo system. about three months ago i found a used version of spot for PS1, and bought it for her, but she said something was wrong with the disc. ten years later, and she still hasn’t forgiven me for letting that game go!

Darkened Skye was a horrible video game about skittles. It didn’t say anywhere on the package it was about skittles, but the cut scenes were definitely old “Taste the Rainbow” commercials. Good thing the game came out before that singing rabbit commercial.

Chex Quest was the highest quality game for the price, even if you count the price of the cereal; it was cool enough for a kid just tryin’ to get some cereal.

But by far the most fun game is the brilliant Budweiser Ad, Tapper. Sure, no one could get past the 3rd level but who cares… once you beat the first level and get to play the slight of hand game- tracking which beer the villain Didn’t shake… AWE YEAH!

“This Bud’s for you” indeed.
Totally worth the quarters

Wow! I’d completely forgotten about Chex Quest until someone mentioned it! I think my sisters and I begged my parents to get the box with the game in it. For off-brand buyers, that was a big request.
