unlabelledView post →It's from the same people who made that new Garbage Pail Kids game that was on GDQ a few months ago! They've definitely got a better handle on NES hardware than most studios had back in the day.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, the weird thing about this ad was never that it was *unusually* gross for the time. Rather they were actually trying some "tried and true" marketing in a game where it doesn't fit. EB has a tiny bit of grossness but the ad makes it sound like a Garbage Pail Kids game or something

unlabelledView post →working on a game concept where the enemy naming pattern is heavily inspired by Garbage Pail Kids. mainly looking for names with something alliterative next to them that implies theyve been fused with something youd find in a landfill 🤔 taking suggestions, brainstorming silly stuff like this is fun!
unlabelledView post →I would be a bit supportive of crazy shit like this, since it looks like 21C Garbage Pail Kids, but, being based off AI-generated memes, you know that card game is nothing but AI content. At least the figures still had a human artist designing the things for mass production, not sure about the copy.

unlabelledView post →I think at this point, pokemon should just make cards to collect like baseball cards or Garbage Pail Kids cards. It's the true fans of the card game that suffers from all this craziness.
unlabelledView post →There's a newer Garbage Pail Kids game on all platforms. I picked it up on my Switch. I actually bought a deck of tarot cards this year. I found out licensed ones are made, and it was Garbage Pail Kids on a store shelf. With four new kids created just for the deck.
unlabelledView post →3rd game finished of 2026: Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum. This game has some of, if not, the worst level design if all time. That’s about 2 hours of my life I won’t get back.
unlabelledView post →Dungeon Degenerates is a gonzo, heavily replayable RPG-lite game with crazy visuals. As far as age appropriateness, I'd say you can give it to anyone you'd give Garbage Pail Kids cards to, but tweens are probably the minimum for enjoying the medium-complexity rules boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21...

unlabelledView post →I imagine it as actual NES game (like recently released Garbage Pail Kids), eventually goofy point & click.

unlabelledView post →91st game of 2023: Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum (PS4) This game is...weird, but I guess that's to be expected from a game based on trading cards whose sole purpose is gross-out humor and shock value. Anyway, it's not bad, not great.
