Sky Box Games - Remember the Awesome Oldies?

Did any of y'all play Tom and Jerry's food fight and the other T+J game? Probably the best branded games on the platform.

I used to more or less speedrun Beehive Bedlam! I'd finish it without losing a life if I was lucky, must've beaten it 100 times.

My favourite Sky game was Looney Tunes though. The one where you explore a giant hotel zapping enemies and collecting munnies. Whilst I never completed it, the sense of exploration was probably the best on Sky Games. I thought that was the peak of gaming till I bought myself a GameCube. At that point, my mind was so blown by Super Mario Sunshine, I can't even express haha.

There were a few other good ones on Sky. Tom and Jerry, where you have to escape from Tom by jumping around. And Word Crunch to an extent.

PlayJam had a ton of good ones too. Bombay Slots was ridiculously addictive, and the RNG was pretty lenient for a slot machine.

Marvin Mole !

hehe

I LOVED King Tutti, Marvin Mole, Fathom, Bumble Tumble, Beehive Bedlam, Battleships and then later on Denki Blocks, Word Crunch

but it was the best when it was "Open" instead of Sky Games / Sky Active

Who else has fond memories of the old games on Sky? I mean, they all used to be free to play, well-made, and AWESOMELY ADDICTIVE!



The likes of Beehive Bedlam, Corporal Cluck, Fathom/Fathom 2, King Tutti and Bumble Tumble?

It used to be the case that, in the inevitable half hour where there was nothing but crap on the television, you'd press the little interactive button and fire up some King Tutti and shriek as you avoided some little pixel-mummies, or some Fathom 2 to try (very futilely, might I add) to get more than like, five centimetres without crashing.

Now, the same little magic button that was once a portal to awesome gaming is now just a little rubber phony sitting on your remote, as once you press it to play some games, you're presented with crap licensed games that let you play for twelve seconds before DEMANDING you pay them twenty gold doubloons...
