That Was a Game – Shrek: Ogres & Dronkeys
SOMEbody once told me Shrek 1 turns 20 years old this week, which means it’s high time to find the weirdest Shrek game out there: Ogres & Dronkeys. It’s a pet simulator from WayForward (yup, that awesome WayForward) where you raise Shrek & Fiona and Donkey & Dragon’s children.
That Was a Game – S3E03 – Kirby Mass Attack
If one Kirby is good, then ten Kirbys are great! Kirby Mass Attack is a touchscreen-only DS game where you lead a party of ten Kirbys to swarm enemies and destroy obstacles.
If it sounds like a Pikmin platfomer, you’re not wrong!
Also Kirby Mass Attack has cool minigames like a spaceshooter, RPG, and a pinball game as big as Kirby’s Pinball Land.
That Was a Game – Wario Blast
Wario’s back to his villainous ways as he travels to Bomberland and attempts to turn Bomberman & his friends into his evil minions. In reality, it’s just a Bomberman game that was reskinned to have Wario!
That Was a Game – Super Princess Peach
THAT WAS A GAME returns to explore that time Princess Peach got her own spinoff game where she defeated enemies by crying into their mouths!
That Was a Game – Season 2, Episode 4: Dragon’s Lair 3D: Return to the Lair
The 1980’s arcade classic Dragon’s Lair was updated for Gamecube and the original Xbox in 2002 as a cel-shaded 3D platformer.
Released before The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Dragon’s Lair 3D: Return to the Lair has janky controls and incredibly cheap deaths, but an incredibly cool art style that evokes the original game.
That Was a Game – Season 2, Episode 3: Mega Man Soccer
On this episode, I look at a pairing of two things that should’ve gone perfectly together (Mega Man and Soccer) and discover the biggest mistake of my childhood.
That Was a Game – Season 2, Episode 2: Toy Story (Sega Genesis and Nintendo Game Boy)
On this episode, we take a look at the Toy Story game for the Sega Genesis, which was ostensibly a 2D sidescroller, but also an endless runner, a racing game, and a Doomclone first-person shooter?
Also, a bonus look at the Game Boy version of Toy Story!
That Was a Game – Season 2, Episode 1: Toy Story Racer
That Was a Game, the YouTube series focusing on forgotten games related to the franchises you love, returns for an all-new season!
This time, we’re focusing on Toy Story Racer, a 3D racing game for the Game Boy Color!
That Was a Game 019 – Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride (GBA)
On this week’s THAT WAS A GAME, we’re looking at the Game Boy Advance port of Crazy Taxi, a 3D game that the poor little GBA wasn’t strong enough to handle.
