Actually, I probably would have taken most of the bin if the merchandise was less than a static $2 per disc. But there was at least one disc I just couldn&#8217;t pass up&#8211; a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tacobell.com\/\">Taco Bell<\/a>-themed computer game. Tek Kids something or other, and disc 2 of 4 to boot. It likely came with a children&#8217;s meal for little or no cost above and beyond the cost of the meal. This means I probably paid more for it than the original customer did. Still, I look forward to seeing what the thing is all about.<\/p>\n<p>I also recently learned that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burgerking.com\/\">Burger King<\/a> is running a promotional Xbox game tie-in where customers can purchase one of 3 BK-themed Xbox\/Xbox 360 games for a nominal price in addition to their meal. Collect them all!<\/p>\n<p>This all reminds me that I have a pile of licensed schlock game titles to review for multimedia purposes, many procured from a variety of garage sales (and many which still need permanent homes is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\">MobyGames<\/a> database). You-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it titles include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tek Kids Flash Ops&#8211; Mission: Polar Challenge (the aforementioned Taco Bell game)<\/li>\n<li>Snowday: The Gap Kids Quest<\/li>\n<li>Little Caesar&#8217;s Fractions Pizza<\/li>\n<li>Kellogg&#8217;s Pop-Tarts Presents: Rescue The Rusties<\/li>\n<li>13 Days of Halloween: Rhythm And Boos (breakfast cereal tie-in)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/windows\/capn-crunchs-crunchling-adventure\">Cap&#8217;n Crunch&#8217;s Crunchling Adventure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/eggs\/images\/game-backlog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/eggs\/images\/game-backlog-small.jpg\" alt=\"Game backlog\" \/><br \/>\n<em>click for a closer look<\/em><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>And this further reminds me what kind of a backlog I&#8217;m still looking at for my <a href=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/mmjournal.html\">Multimedia Exploration Journal<\/a>.
