Remember to read this to this end, it's important.
What I remembered
I recently recalled a Honey Nut Cheerios game that could be played through the lost General Mills MMO Millsberry. It was either 2009 or 2010 (probably 09), and someone I know had an account on Millsberry who I would watch play. I think its title was something like “Curse of the Mumbee” or “Revenge of the Mumbee”. The game of course featured the character known as “The Mumbee”, a mummy bee, as the villain.
It wasn’t really like the other games I saw on the site. It was more interesting to me. The game had a lot of levels as I remember, and you can actually make choices on what to do next. I remember finding the music interesting too, especially in the first and last levels. The first level was maze-like, I think. Another level I believe had you going around collecting dripping honey in a jar for who knows what reason. And I think the final level used the same format as the first. Those are all the levels I can think of. I remember playing the game myself, and finding the last stage quite difficult.
I would periodically recall this game and decide to look for it online, but every time, I couldn’t find it. Not that I was expecting it to be playable, I just wanted documentation at the very least. Other Millsberry games have been documented, but not this one it seems. Which is a shame, because it stood out to me from the others I saw. People seem to remember Millsberry, so, does anyone remember what I’m talking about?
What I just found
Well, those were my thoughts from the past. I searched again after typing this out, and found this website that talks about the game and has pictures. It might be the only documentation of this out there. It looks like the game used a comic book style.
It was officially called "Buzz's Adventure: The Mumbee's Curse", and is from 2006, a few years earlier than when I saw it. It looks like it wasn't a Millsberry-exclusive game, but rather you could access it through Millsberry. I found it after taking "Millsberry" out of my search query. That's why is was more involved than the others. Strangely, the post is from 2012. The site seems to have a link to the game, but unfortunately, it redirects to the regular Cheerios website,. So, it looks like this one's officially lost. Even so, I wonder if there is some way of recovering it.
I still however can't find gameplay footage of the game, nor can I find the game itself. Does anyone at all remember this game?
