   Corporate Branded Video Games

   Remember when pizza companies, fast-food chains, soft drink brands, and snack companies all had their own video games? From Nintendo and Super Nintendo to Sega Genesis, these corporate-branded games were everywhere in the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. They weren’t always great, but we still played them anyway. This episode of The Busy Signal takes a nostalgic look at those strange, unforgettable games that turned our favorite brands into video game characters. Want more "Retro-Stalgic" content?
