Humpty's Scramble (DOS)

[platformalist]

Anybody here ever play Humpty's Scramble? It was released on diskette by Humpty's Restaurants in Western Canada back in the mid-90s, and many prairie kids have fond memories of it. Solid little platformer with a couple 3D levels at the end that blew my mind at the time. You can get a copy from the Internet Archive, though I think I still have my disk hanging around somewhere. Highly recommend it!

Love advergames like this. Never knew about this one. Years ago, I ran across 'Mott's Presents The Prince and the Prankster: The Quest for the Magical Seeds' still sealed at a Goodwill store. Had no idea Mott's had made a tie in game with their products so I had to scoop that up. Even came with a food product coupon. I think Burger King had the most elaborate tie in video game campaign with their three Xbox games (King Games) you could buy at their restaurants.

Definitely will give this a whirl later in the week. Thanks for sharing!

I've never heard of that Mott's game, but that's a really cool find. Food and breakfast cereals were closely tied to video games for a few years in the 90s, weren't they? Funny you should mention Sneak King, as I own a copy! It's such a strange game, and I still can't believe it actually got produced.


Anyway, hope you enjoy Scramble! I always push it to anyone who even remotely enjoys DOS games, since I feel it never gets enough love.

Yeah, Cap'n Crunch's Crunchling Adventure & the Chex Quest series stick out in my mind the most. Sneak King, out of the three from Burger King, became the most memorable cult classic for sure. I used to have all three many years ago.

Wow, Crunchling Adventure gives me such a nostalgia hit for early-2000s webgames! Reminds me of the Wonka Candy games I used to play with my sister when we were kids. Wonder if anyone else on VCFed was deep into these old branded flash games, I loved them so much.

Like Scramble, a lot of these can be found on the Internet Archive, though I believe their compatibility is a little iffy with newer computers.
