Gaming Weirdness

A thread for all sorts of weirdness in games and gaming culture.



Frito-Lay wants gamers to take up the challenge of designing a Doritos game.

Tell us your idea for a DORITOS® brand–inspired video game. Use our iconic shape, bold flavors or simply our intense experience - whatever comes to mind. How you use that inspiration is entirely up to you.

Iconic shape? Don't you mean 'TRIANGLE'?

Seriously, I hope that Cool Ranch makes it into the game.

It's not exactly unheard of; didn't 7UP once make a game with their Cool Spot character? Then there was that Burger King game a while back.

They should make a Coca Cola game, where you play as a creature of carbonated gas and pure sugar, fighting the evil Tooth Overlords for control over a childs body. The more dangerously hyperactive you get the child, the higher your score.

You better be able to play as Spicy Habanero chips or I'm boycotting Frito-Lay.

I had that game. There were a couple Chester Cheetah ones too, so this isn't a new thing for Frito-Lay.

i had Cool Spot on the Amiga 500. it was actually a decent platformer

I had that game on an Amiga as well (1200 , I can't remember much ones before except spectdrum) , It was a pretty cool game.

Another cool platform / adventure game on Amiga i miss is Dizzy
