Aye, which is why I reference the original Fruit Brute (the spelling was different than in the reboot). It, like the aforementioned Kaboom, was a variety of fruit flavours with marshmallows. Much superior to the new one.

And it's only then that my brain realises - they reboot cereals. That has to be a sign of this civilisation's oncoming twilight.

Sweet!

Based on my probably shady recollection, this could be a relatively close race. As I wasn't here for the Fall sale, was there another title that even came close to stalling like Keane?

The Akeanemy Awards? The Jack Offscars? ;)

The Jack Offscars makes me think of something else entirely :p

Well, seeing as how I have never heard of Fruit Brute or King Vitamin or several of the others yall have spoken about. Guess they didn't sell them in Texas in my childhood. I do know there was another one called Boo Berry that didn't fair very well and got pulled from the shelves early. Still, I do know that each and everyone that has been mentioned must be good (except Boo Berry as it tasted like crap!) because we are still talking about them 40+ years later! lol

They already have an awards show. :)

What's the "GET A ROOM'? I'm afraid to click on it. ;-P

Regrettably, I am too young to have had the original Fruit Brute. I remember seeing commercials that had Yummy Mummy in them, but I don't think I recall ever seeing the actual cereal on the shelf at the grocery store. Cereals get rebooted all the time. When I was a kid, the oat pieces in Lucky Charms were just that; oat pieces. Now, the oat pieces are coated in sugar and the assortment of marshmallows hardly resembles the originals.

Whoa. First cheese and now cereals. This could be a dangerous road, so I'll cut myself short. However, be warned, if you pursue this conversation, we may be forever changed once we emerge.

I remember Time Commando counting down during the middle of the night. It helped me get some sleep.

That's just homophobia. Boo Berry is clearly patterned on Peter Lorre, but they seem to have added shovelfuls of Tony Randell and Liberace, to the point where he seems like such a nelly stereotype that he's probably the ghost of a 1970s gay nightclub patron who overdosed on Poppers. ;)

Be afraid. Also, wash your mouse now.

It's a toss up...that or E3? Hmmmmm....i'm torn.

Cereals get tinkered with certainly (I recall when the first "new" marshmallow got added to Lucky Charms, setting off waves of seemingly endless additions and specials). But a full blown reboot like the Monster Cereals are getting is a whole other thing. It's like if they suddenly put raisins in Grape Nuts (which would actually make at least half the name make sense).

Madness, I tell you, madness. I've said it before and I'll say it again - where other countries have history, America has nostalgia.

Hi all.

Thanks a lot for putting up the stats, guys - some of those titles went frighteningly fast!

Also good to see GOG making a healthy profit, which bodes well for another Insomnia sooner rather later - good news!

True, but that's why the award would be named after dear ol' Jack. Keane is already immortalized in the award itself and the recipients are those games that live up to his excellence.

Truth.
