The toyline expanded into a franchise with a comic book series, two direct-to-video animated cartoons, and a video game for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64.
I looked into it more, and it looks like theres also a more recent YouTube channel with a lot of videos (animated and live action) from about 8-9 years ago.
I mean I can say that on MobyGames every listed review (keeping in mind this is user-generated content and could be biased) is from a UK magazine, that they only have the UK box art, and that the listed releases are all from the UK. I'd err on "UK-exclusive" given that circumstantial evidence.
I don't know how to switch accounts and fucked up my wife's entire persona she was building by commenting under her account. Instead of deleting the comments when I realised my mistake, I instead just switched accounts and left those comments there for her to find when she woke up. I claim to have planned to go back to delete them, but instead I was just gonna completely forget about them.
I thought they were awful then, I reacted badly to their existence. And, 40 years later, take efforts to write this comment to express my displeasure; which gives me satisfaction.
Eight of anything besides GI Joe guys, TransFormers or Hot Wheels is a lot. So I probably had all of them and I had like 3 or 4 of the eyeball one. I loved shit like this, and garbage pail kids
Very early on in our relationship - long before she was my wife - I played this game with my wife. I didn't know it was part of a media franchise at the time.

That's less offensive than calling them a punk band

Sure, then so is Miley Cyrus
Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 14d
I was half joking, but some of Miley's stuff does have a punk rock vibe to it.
100% forgot about this song:
SWMRS-Miley https://youtu.be/qgigqKtyJv4
Also, curious what genre you would call the album, Dookie then? I didnt listen to much of greenday except for Kerplunk and Dookie.

Pop-punk. Imo it's too mild and overproduced for a proper punk album.
Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 14d
well yeah, punk is not punk rock, nor pop punk, or hardcore punk, or ska punk, or the other 100 punk versions out there.

Did the Spectrum and Amstrad have much of a presence in the US, or was the game made for the UK market?

40 years too late to drive sales with your disapproval.
Remember Garbage Pail Kids cards? Once I saw concerned parents burning them on the local news, I had to get them.

I've never heard of this game and it's in my Steam library. Must have been bundled somewhere at some point.

It was 99 cents in 2016 according to cheapshark.com
