Funny story about Crash: Everybody around 30 years old in Slovakia knows Crash Bandicoot. In late 90s - early 00s there was a very popular TV show where you could call in and play the game with your phone (basically just left/right/jump) I spent hours watching it https://youtu.be/v3RYappcWZg https://youtu.be/v3RYappcWZg
- Waterluvian 8y agoOh my. And they show a bunch of toy prizes. Did this cost money to call?
- efrafa 8y agoI think it was like regular domestic call and you could won playstation at the end of the month. But since it was super popular, it was crazy hard to get through, I tried, but lines was always busy :)
- chamakits 8y agoOh wow this is cool. Is this real? Like even though the players die a good deal, it still feels like they can play it pretty smoothly. I’d love to know the system that got built out for this. I imagine it was detecting tones, but would love any more insight into all of that. An rpg game would have been a good way to overcome any timing issues games may introduce.
- acct1771 8y agoYeah, but then it's not exciting.
- moepstar 8y agoThere was a similar show, called "Hugo" in Germany in the same timeframe... Even with accompanying video games - ah, the memories... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_(game_show) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_(game_show)
