Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.
Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.
I think that whole genre is called advergames
Sometimes I forget that the LEGO games are just really fancy ads.
The old Kellogg's game from mid 90's was really clunky, but it was great fun as a <10 year old not knowing any better!
Chex Quest was legitimately good, but mostly because it was just a Doom mod
I think legos are in their own genre no matter what. That’s like advertising a game franchise.
Those Xbox burger king games were legitimately fun....
Sneak king!
That was one of them... Weren't there two others but I agree sneak King was the best.
Sneak King was fun but, sorry not sorry, Pocketbike Racer was the best. No clue what the third one was.
I am genuinely surprised none of the freaks around here have mentioned the KFC dating sim yet.
That Nerf clone of Unreal Tournament was dope
Candystand.com games went crazy back in the early 2000's
The Dungeons and Dragons idle game has a champion that is composed of Nerds candy pieces. It's actually a fun character concept because you can switch the nerds around to different colors, each one with a different class that changes how their mechanics work. But it's just so weird seeing candy you can eat alongside Drizzt Do'urden that I never use them.
