"In 2022, thanks to writer Adam F. Goldberg (creator of The Goldbergs TV series) and Retrotainment, an indie developer that specializes in creating modern NES games such as Haunted Halloween ‘86, the world has its first real GPK game. Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum has been created as a lost NES game, the one kids should’ve been able to enjoy back in the ‘80s. A genuine NES version is due out in 2023, but the game itself has already been released on modern consoles and PC," says Co-Optimus.
They may be gross, but they make for a really fun 8-bit style adventure.
Dave writes: "If you’ve got nostalgia for the gruesome scamps, then Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum is massively rewarding."
Retrotainment Games' love letter to NES gaming, Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum, is out now. Hardcore retro fans can also pre-order a fully playable NES cartridge.
you know, I remember having cards of these as a kid. The cards would double as being stickers. And the title "quest for stale gum" is right because each pack came with this rectangle of pink gum and it sure as hell was stale. Good times lol
Oh, this one's good fun.
