When I was a little kid, I used to watch Discovery Kids and also Animal Planet where they have these interactive games you can simply play with your remote. I remember when nothing else was on, I used to go on the games and kill my precious little time by playing all I could find. Now, here's a list of them what I remember;
- Kenny the Shark: you play as the title character where you race through a beach full of obstacles on a dune buggy, such as sand castles and cats. One hit, you take a tumble for the worse. There are power ups such as you can use the dog character to scare away the cats. It was quite challenging for me. This also had the same soundtrack as the next game.
- think it was called Steve the Sewage Bunny. I can't remember the title but what I do is that you play as a rabbit in a jeep racing down the sewers and dodging everything. The only power-up I can remember was a fox's tail attached to the end of your vehicle so it can make you fly. The music to this game was arcade noises, high-pitched gibberish and even farts.
- Meerkat Manor: ah yes, a classic. You play as one out of two meerkats and you go around a platform of rocks and such, finding your babies. But, be warned as rattlesnakes, condors and enemy meerkats stand in your way. I used to love the victory dance where the meerkat happily raises the roof in happiness, while the baby has a jig~
- Another I can't remember but you play as a little chimpanzee where you climb trees and either collect some apples or defeat enemies. The ones I remember what you can fight (to my humour) were the gorillas, where you can throw an apple at them. My grandma who loves gorillas always used to wince when I controlled the apple button. I also remember getting scared of the snake enemies, where you can only see their coils and then they pop out to bite you. I never got past that stage, but I recall in the instructions where you can see eagles and crocodiles.
- Chomp: heck yeah, this was like their own version of Pac-Man, but similar to a Flash game, Pac Xon. Chomp himself is a pair of razor sharp crocodilian teeth that went around chomping stuff. In this game, you make a a line and every one you do, you fill this empty space. Watch out for UFO's and candy, where every time you consume it, you hear a chomping sound and also "Wuh-oh". Apparently, it was for teeth safety awareness as you can eat toothpaste to gain health. There’s also one part where it says “don’t try this at home” about eating a whole tube of toothpaste.
- Yet again, another game with an unmemorable title, but somehow I loved it the most. I think it was Mystery Hunters or something Anyway, you either control these children who were explorers and like Meerkat Manor, you control either one of them. You explore this haunted castle where the whole setting was like the top down perspective like the classic Zelda and Earthbound games on the NES. You go around, get to the end, but you have to avoid the enemies at all costs. Enemies like bats, opening trap doors, enchanted suits of armour where some charge in different directions and some do with a switch, and even these brownish, hairy cavemen that charge on either side. When you get hit, the character will scream in a high-pitched manner while falling off the stage. There was one stage I remember where there's a maze with a knight and an item to collect. Touch the item and you are chased down by the knight. I tried escaping the opposite direction, but he was too fast.
So anybody remember these games? If anyone remembers the last one, especially the title, could you let me know? I’m also seeing if there’s any images or videos that managed to be uploaded online as well.
