On The Topic of a Doritos Game

I say, Why not?
This isn't a new thing. Quite a few years ago one could find a video game about Mr. Pibb for the PC. This game was even free of charge and came with pizza which could be, at least I am told, acquired with a /pizza command in another game. The Mr. Pibb game was for all intents and purposes a game that used video and thus I submit, a video game. It actually wasn't that bad. I had no complaints about the story line and the battle system was akin to any side scrolling game of its time like Metal Slug or Contra.
Not long after that another food related game was released. Well drink related. The Cool Spot game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. To say this game was bad would be a disgrace. It was one of my favorite non-Mario games growing up as a kid and I didn't even like the drink it was advertising (7up). The story line was cliched of course (save the other 7up spots!) but the game play was fun and the levels were challenging. It had bonus levels akin to sonic and nothing was more fun then bouncing across carbonated bubbles for hours.
Just recently there was another surge of food related video games though I didn't play them so I can't speak for their value as games. I am sure everyone saw the commercials for "The King" video games that could be purchased from Burger King for five dollars with any combo. I believe they were even 360 games though I doubt they needed to be.
The point of my argument is that I would love to see a game based around a chip because honestly, why not? One more bad game means one more thing to make fun of when I look back in life. One more good game means one more thing to enjoy here and now. Let them come.

You try to pick apart my imperfections.
Little did you know it would only take five minutes.
What will you do now?

Yup, sure seems that way.
Nope. Just a forum elitist that often doesn't wonder out of his chosen place of dwelling and onto other forums.
But I am here now.
Hi.
but don't forget
taste the rainbow
but for some reason I can't stop having chuppa chup lolly pops, I think they will make me turn into a ninja.
Edit: for the nostalgia
I guess.
I mean, I haven't played it in like 15 years, so I could be mistaken.
I remember renting is pretty often... which I guess says something about the quality. But then again I was like 8 years old
Darkened Skye was for a food/drink/company? I never played it.
I don't have high expectations of a game about doritos though. I mean, they are just a tasty snack.
I mean it could quite possibly turn out to be reasonably decent indeed, and then I'd consider playing it while eating doritos.
Advert games tend to not be so great and be more like shitty flash games than anything else, the examples given are just some exceptions to it.
But dammit all this talk about doritos makes me want them so fuck, their advertising is already working!

Yeah it was a skittles game, though they did a pretty good job of making it look "not like a skittles game".
I kinda did a double take when I first saw it in some store and saw the skittles logo plastered all over the back of the case
That game terrified me as a child but I still played it all the way through
Edit: Beat like a small child.
Just steal the story line from the original Fifial(sp?)(the mouse that losses his family) and put a chip in instead.
He could come across discontinued chip products that are now living in the gutter and just getting by. It could be a heart warming story of family lost, friends found, loves made and perhaps, family found again.

And the debate over whether or not this should be on-screen, or implied in a fade will rage on these forums. Those that want it on-screen will call the others pussies, and those that want a fade will stare aghast at the apparent bloodthirst (or is it chipthirst in this case?) of their opponents.
Much wailing and gnashing of teeth when it's finally revealed.
Then Jack Thompson calls it a Cannibalism trainer.
I have a bizarre thought that a Doritos game would somehow involve a pothead with the munchies. And the entire game would revolve around his quest to reach the store and get some Doritos.
Otherwise, you'd need to just do some weird, abstract triangle-type Tetris game. Though it seems more like some weird flash game to me.
If I heard from enough reliable sources that a "Dorito" game was completely awesome and worth spending $50 on, I might consider it, but it certainly wouldn't make me want to buy more Doritos. The two just don't correlate to me.

It's a good thing this is a concept competition not a programming competition, 'cause then they'd have to sort through about a million and one Asteroids clones. :P
MCKids and Yo Noid were both excellent on the NES
Global Gladiators and Cool Spot were great Genesis titles
There were alot of mediocre ones too - like the Cool Spot NES and PS1 games and the various Chester Cheetah games - but there have definately been some pretty good games that have come out of terrible ideas.
The only real difference is that all of those games came from companies who had corporate mascots that would appeal to kids and make sense in a video game setting. Doritos doesn't really have that.
How could it go wrong?
I thought I was the last person on Earth to remember this game. I think I still the cart somewhere, in fact.
I too used to play that game a lot, but I doubt it was any good. Just a hop around side-scroller if I remember right. I would say that if it was good when we were 8 then maybe a Doritos game would be good for a current 8 year old. But that's completely not true since most 8 year olds could probably "pwn my n00b ass" on some new system I don't even own. Things have changed.
Beat'ed. It was a pretty fun game though...
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
Did anyone bring up these yet? Sort of similar food-game thing goin' on. Somehow I feel like Doritos wouldn't be as clever as these games though. The whole "king" marketing has been done very well.
One would think Dorito's would provide you with a spellchecker when they signed you up to shill games on 'net forums.
I'm glad Tycho had a similar experience with the unknown flavor. God. Throwing all of your powdered flavors into a bag and shaking it up does not a new flavor make.
I first tasted the Mystery Flavor while at a midnight showing of Pirates Of The Carribbean: At World's End. My friend compared it to licking the floor of the movie theater then preceded to do just that. After committing the act he then declared that the new flavor was, in fact, less tasty then the floor.
Also, stop saying I am here to front a product. I am obviously. The only company I work for is myself and the only thing I do is draw a stick figure comic and goto college. I wish I worked for Doritos because then I might have some money. Honestly it was a valid argument that many people contributed to and had fun with. I for one am hoping the game comes out, is cheap, and is good.
You sure? I was pretty certain it was hotdog with sauerkraut.

Mentioned it in the original post. I love that game to pieces. (literally, the cartridges broke apart.)
