ads in today’s video games are pretty
commonplace whether it’s red bull on
your rally car or adidas in your soccer
stadium most gamers don’t seem to mind
the integration however it wasn’t always
this subtle welcome to watchmojo.com
today we’ll be taking a look at the top
10 strangest branded video games ever
made number 10
Chex quest let’s kick off our list with
a bizarre yet wildly fun advert Ament
computer game from the late 1990s this
one managed to merge a balanced
breakfast with intergalactic adventure
the first video game to ever be included
in a cereal box it was created as a
child-friendly overhaul of the first
five levels of doom while making you an
armored wheat warrior
I’m from check squadron and I volunteer
number nine chase the chuckwagon
one of the earliest promotional games
ever made this maze game was offered
free of charge by the Purina dog food
company new chuckwagon grave is here
good ol chuck wagon now has the big new
taste of gravy given to customers who
sent in proofs of purchase of their
chuck wagon dog food they were given the
chance to play as a dog searching for
food while trying to avoid the dog
catcher number 8 chester Cheetah too
cool to fool and wild wild quest the
coolest mascots still around chester
Cheetah not only spurred much of today’s
obesity epidemic but starred in two
video games in the early 1990s these
were each based on the platforming style
of Super Mario but each attempted to
make the formula appear cooler with
Chester’s sense of attitude mark
number seven kool-aid man he doesn’t
only smash through walls but into
videogames as well the self-proclaimed
life-of-the-party kool-aid man is on a
mission to blast Thirsty’s in this
auditory game you have to keep those
pesky creatures and their straws from
drinking up your kool-aid pond
apparently the last thing kool-aid man
wants is for his red stuff to quench
anyone’s thirst number six Mik kids
there have been several attempts by the
McDonald’s fast-food chain to advertise
through games and this is the most
memorable in this side-scroller up to
two players took on the role of two boys
who had traveled through McDonald land
on their journey to recover Ronald’s
magic bag from the Hamburglar they met
several franchise characters and had to
collect special cards
number five cool spot you thought
mcinnes was strange we’ll get this
it was later transformed into the 7up
game spot the cool adventure for the
Game Boy I think there’s a subliminal
message in there somewhere
more famously the shades wearing red
circle made waves and two home console
releases shockingly these delivered
stellar graphics and one of the most
ambitious advertising crossovers ever
made who else is getting thirsty number
four
yo annoyed the claim ocean advertisement
from Domino’s Pizza was so popular this
pizza destroyer got his own adventure
while he first appeared as the
antagonist in 1989’s computer game avoid
the noid he was quickly recast as a good
guy the following year in yo noid here
players got to take on his green and
more mischievous duplicate mr. green
number 3 pepsi invaders space invaders
meets soda this straightforward promo
cartridge was once given to 125 sales
executives at Coca Cola sales convention
within the game Pepsi was shown as an
intruder that had to be destroyed due to
its rarity and downright bizarre
fixation on another company this Coca
Cola commissioned Atari game now fetches
prices well into
thousands of dollars number two Pepsi
man coca-cola and 7up aren’t the only
soda companies that can play games in
1996 Pepsi took things to the extreme by
unleashing an adrenaline-filled mascot
upon the world the result was a clone of
Crash Bandicoot that attempted to make
players want to run out and grab their
product if you ask me Pepsi man should
go and work for redbull
number one King games rounding out our
top 10 countdown is the overly creepy
mascot of Burger King not just making
his way into our nightmares this silent
stalker hungered for his own game on the
Xbox as a result he appeared in not one
but three separate retail games
these included sneak king big bumpin and
pocket bike racer originally meant as
downloadable promo games he’s actually
turned out to be well done and went on
to be sold in stores due to the quality
and fun involved it’s safe to say that
the king has managed to claim the throne
