Back with an all new episode and this month we are talking about failed mascots! The gaming industry is littered with all sorts of "what-could-have-been's" and "never-was", whether its the criminally underrated Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or the pushed-down-our-throat attitude of Bubsy the Bobcat, the success of Mario and Sonic in the 90s meant every company needed a figure head, so we took three forgotten one-hit wonders and took a deep dive into why they didnt work and whether they ever had potential in the first place: Taito's Little Samson for the NES, Microprose's Tinhead for the Sega Genesis, and Hasbro's Glover for the Nintendo 64. Join us as we continue our quest to find the champion of forgotten figures. Will any of these titles rise in the ranks of heroes? Will any be officially ranked as THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME?!?!
