This week’s episode will be all about games with commercial tie-ins and Coca-Cola, twist the cap to refreshment. From 16-bit games like Cool Spot to Phantasy Star Portable’s KFC and Pizza Hut items, marketing and video games have a long history together. In fact, their history is almost as long as the amount of time flavor lasts when chewing Stride gum!
If you’ve got any listener questions or comments related or not related to this week’s topic leave them in the comments below.
1. How’s that endorsement deal with Pepsi Max going? I’ve been drinking nothing but that for the last year, waiting for it to become official.
2. After that 24 hour marathon, I realized just how much product placement is in Crazy Taxi. And yet, I didn’t find it nearly as irritating or intrusive as anything found these days. Do you think Crazy Taxi handles it relatively tastefully?
3. WHERE WERE YOU DURING MY MARATHON?! (you are exempt, Alex)
