Most licenced video game adaptations are terrible ^^
Well, another childhood favourite franchise of mine - Tom and Jerry - doesn't have any games for PC
"Tom & Jerry (also known as Tom & Jerry: Hunting High and Low) was released for Amiga, Atari ST, and Commodore 64 computers in 1989 by Magic Bytes. Another game with identical gameplay, Tom & Jerry 2, was also released that year for the same platforms and the MSX, Amstrad CPC and Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computers. "
Me who was born in 1997: wtf
I guess the ones who are drawn to using licenses for games usually aren't the ones who have any interest in realizing a amazing game within in but rather the ones who are looking to use the the license as an easy way to market low effort stuff.
Yarny have you played XXL 1's GBA port
Still, I have a lot of fond memories of the many licensed games I played as a kid, most of them from a company called Terzio. They were probably objectively pretty bad for the most part, but I still had a lot of fun with them ^^
Nah, but I've seen it. An impressive technical accomplishment... But as a game it looks trash and from what I heard plays the same. Trash that is.
And yeah, the stuff we grew up with usually have some special place even though we can tell today how they're low effort.
I played it and it was pretty interesting and fun for me
Some games I played were based on movies or franchises overall. The Asterix games, Chicken Little, Ratatouille, Barbie, The Cat in the Hat (it's a 2.5D platformer), Harry Potter, some games based on Soviet/Russian franchises, Ice Age games, a couple of Garfield games, a few Winnie the Pooh games, a few Lion King games, a couple of Finding Nemo games, some trash 2.5D platformer based on The Land Before Time, a Care Bears game... I could go on but my memory gets blurry.
Most screenshots are from XXL1, that's saying something
Also, I read the first Asterix videogame came out in 1983. Rene Goscinny died in 1977. He did not live up to the day Asterix would enter the world of videogames.
And XXL 3 was the last game to come out while Albert Uderzo was still alive.
Wait, did ESRB seriously rate a cartoony Asterix game T?

Judging by the screenshots, it must be tamer than the XXL trilogy
