Isn't this the sound that plays when one of your fish die in insaniquarium?
Only Stuart Little game I remember was the PS1 Stuart Little 2 game, which kind of felt like a Spyro clone
How dare you trash Operation: Krabby Patty! That’s a HUGE childhood favorite!
Operation Krabby Patty is DEFINITELY NOT a cereal box game! It was sold at retail, and it’s a huge treat for many SpongeBob fans.
I had the Operation game.
The spinner says fiIIIIiiive!
You should review rollercoaster tycoon 3 some day, especially now that they brought it back to steam.
Ah, the Cereal Box Hasbro games… I almost have them all since I already had some Hasbro CD ROM Games such as Monopoly Jr. – all this at the time during childhood and when I had a Microsoft Windows Computer, while others didn't either appeal to me nor just reach my attention in the past.
You forgot Capn’ Crunch’s Crunchlings!

Am I the only one who saw Motu Patlu?
That cereal game were you was a natvive american and the greedy south american conquer wanting anything you had to poison him he dies think later that native american guy becomes a lawer in the future think i was in Cheerios as a disc i dont have it and they was scabble jr its around that same timeline i think
Damn I played almost all of these
My favs are probably Pajama Sam and Rollercoaster Tycoon
I Remember The Chutes And Ladders One. That When I Was A Tiny Tot.
This is what I get for sitting on ideas too long, other people end up making videos that are better than anything I could do. Good job on this!
I'm pretty sure that there were box-top cereal promotions for either Coleco or Atari games waaaay before this CD-ROM stuff General Mills did, but aggravatingly I can't seem to find proof of it. I have a memory of me and my brother eating an absolute ton of Lucky Charms to send in box-tops for Burger Time I think. To this day Lucky Charms make me feel a little ill – it was a LOT of box tops. Would've been in 1984-5. Wasn't in box though, was a "cut out your boxtops and send em in" type deal. Anyone else have that memory/ did you folks run into any examples of that when researching this vid?
Wow the nostalgia…I remember each and every one of these, especially Pajama Sam. Thanks for a great blast from the past!
This has the same energy as a Scott the woz video and I love it
And Goody's extreme skateboarding
1:10 hey, you shouldn't hold them like that
1:14 wait… what are you doing?
1:17 NO WAIT STOP DON'T-
1:20 AAAAAAAAAHHH
The Universal theme parks in California and Florida contain attractions and costumed performers based on various Nickelodeon properties, including Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. If the crowd audio was recorded at one of those locations, it's plausible that it includes children speaking the characters' names.
The aforementioned parks also feature the King Kong character, which a child might mistake for Donkey Kong.
I didn't remember the Mr. Potato Head game had an opening song that went HARD until now
I remember I got crazy taxi outta one cereal box and in another one some nice tycoon game where you could build your own sea life or smth… were actually some fun games
I have great times with these free cd games
I had Tonka Search and Rescue years before it was a cereal box game. I still have the commercial jingle for it stuck in my head years later; 🎵Tonka Search and Rescue, It's time to save the day🎵
Also, fun fact: Pajama Sam used to be voiced by Bobby Hill
I played the heck out of a few of these. Rollercoaster tycoon was great.
I only remember Operation Krabby Patty and it was great!
The home sketch was funnie 🙂
5:28 that's just puyo puyo
I remember playing Monopoly Junior and Stuart Little 2! I also played Scrabble (2002) which is the one with jazz music.
As someone who lives in Singapore, I've had memories of some pack-in CD-ROM games Nestlé would offer with their cereals back in the day. They had this promo where there were 3 CD-ROM games, and the one I picked was "Zoo Empire", which was sort of like Zoo Tycoon, but not. I believe the original launcher file was replaced with a Nestlé branded launcher, though I can't remember if I inspected the original files or not. This would've been in around 2008 or so as I remember using Windows Vista at the time. There was a promotion that happened several years earlier that involved some Disney-Pixar games.
(4:05) If you were smart enough, you could just navigate the disc in the file browser by selecting "Open" instead of "AutoPlay" or "Autorun", and find the actual original disc menu or direct link to the installer.
(5:52) I find it interesting that you used a photo of what I think is a CD-ROM testing station at a public library.
The sam one gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
I played these games way back when and I remember being happy to have content but sad at the same time cause these where pretty much trash
I got Crazy Taxi and Starsky & Hutch games in boxes of Chocapic, those were the years
The intro threw me off, but now I like the idea of every video having someone different say Framerater lol
