The Summer Olympics are happening right now, which means it’s time to look at the weirdest Olympic game we can find.
So are we talking about a sports game? Heck no! We found an Olympic-themed 2D sidescroller! We’re talking about Izzy’s Quest for the Olympic Rings for the Super Nintendo! Because if you don’t remember, the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta had a mascot and for no good reason at all, that mascot was given a generic 2D platformer.
Have you ever felt like Toy Story is good and all, but what I really want to do is skateboard around Andy’s Room? Or that the perfect Lion King game would feature The Lion King’s Rafiki doing lip tricks on a dried up lakebed to the sweet dulcet tones of Ted Leo music?
Join us as we look at the most logical of skateboarding games – Disney Extreme Skate Adventure!
Here’s a game that puts three completely unrelated Disney properties into one game — Tarzan, Lion King, and Toy Story — and embeds them in a skateboarding game using the Tony Hawk 4 engine and developed by the creators of Skylanders (Toys for Bob)!
In the late 90s and early 2000s, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series was one of the most popular videogame franchises around. But how did that success translate when ported to the Game Boy Advance?
Find out on this week’s THAT WAS A GAME!
Also includes Tony Hawk 2 for Game Boy Color!
In honor of the new LEGEND OF TARZAN movie starring Eric Northman, we take a look at Disney’s Tarzan Untamed for the Nintendo Gamecube!
When you think of Tarzan videogames, do you think of surfing down rivers and water-skiing behind vultures? Well, you should!
On this episode of THAT WAS A GAME, we look at XIII (Thirteen), a stylish 70’s era conspiracy from 2003. This game’s got it all: a cool cel-shaded aesthetic, folding chairs, and David Duchovny!
Remember that time Superman had a game for the Game Boy Advance? And it was actually a Sudoku game instead of an action game? Welcome to Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude!
THAT WAS A GAME returns to take a look at the 16-bit Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade’s Revenge! This was a 16-bit game where, you guessed it, Spider-Man and the X-Men teamed up. How could they possibly go wrong?
Find out!
Batman vs. Superman is out, and moviegoers everywhere finally got to see the Caped Crusader square off against the Man of Steel! Of course, this is old news if you’ve already been playing 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Yup! Mortal Kombat – the super-violent fighting game where the heroes kill each other at the end of their matches VERSUS the DC Universe, known for its heroes who won’t kill no matter what.
On this episode of THAT WAS A GAME, we look at Fortress, a Tetris/Tower Defense mashup with space aliens, pterodactyls, and pirates!
