Pssshhh I told a 19 year old about this and how we'd get actually good pokemon tops, color changing spoons and PC games in our cereal. The result? She felt like her childhood was deprived. Do kids even get good prizes in cereal boxes anymore? Internet was kinda hard to come by for us I played hours of this. Can't crush mine.
@Hex @MultiTarded My mom had this game it was a big part of my childhood we both loved it and she never got rid of the disc or let anyone take it so we still have it I just need a Microsoft computer to play it on because my old computer is broken of course
I was 4 when I played this and didn't even know there were minigames. I just fed and petted my crunchling first thing in the morning every day before school and thought that was the way to play
Nessie Idk why this game was so fun to so many kids LOL Like he said you just do the same thing over and over again BUT IT WAS SO FUN. I still love it XD
This game was part of a broader promotion where the captain went missing from the cereal boxes and you had to find out where he went. It was a big deal on Nickelodeon commercials
Man, this looks so old now. When I was a kid, I thought the graphics were some of the best. Still, gameplay holds up, and it's got some fun memories attached.
Yes! The graphics were super good for the time. Smooth gameplay. It was alot of fun. I once had a vision (I passed out) that I was in the game. It was so real. Hahahahh
Wow, you spent a lot of time bashing this game when it's literally one hundred percent better than most modern games released today. The level design and graphics are unparalelled for their time and the story is beautiful.
I loved this game as a kid! It’s been a distant memory for so long I decided to search it to pull up some nostalgic memories and you really sucked the fun out of it with your commentary. Sooo 😶 thanks for that lol
My first trip to the US in 2000, I was visiting my aunt and uncle and baby cousin. It was my first time eating captain crunch and that CD-rom was in the box. When I went back to France, I played the crap out of that game!! I loved it soooo much!! So yes, as a 5 year old it was the best freaking game ever.
I found my copy I currently own at a Goodwill store! The original copy I owned from when I was a kid had been long gone over the years. I came across this glorious game the other month at a Goodwill store and I snatched it up immediately! For nostalgia purposes, of course! I honestly don't care that I'm currently 25 going 26! I love this game as much as I did when I was a little shit of a kid! I spent hours at a time on this game during my summer vacays when I was a kid cause I honestly had nothing better to do at the time! Sigh...good times...good times...🥰
Yo this was my jam had no internet on my mom's computer bearly had games for the PC so this was by far the most fun I was having on our gateway. [Rip mom]
I have the vaguest memory of this... I recognize the jumping level the best of the games, but in reality all I REALLY remembered was feeding little monsters 3x their body weight in dry cereal... Ah, childhood innocence where that was all I needed for joy...
I know this vid is 12 years old, and the game is even older but I was reminded of it today and had to look it up. I could swear there was more to it than just the mini games but I guess its hard to remember since I was so young. I used to play this game over and over and over making a different color crunchling every time.
We used to play this game religiously in 7th grade. During technology class. The teacher would just let us play games everyday in the computers instead of teaching us ..
You are correct. As a 5 year old I was addicted to this game despite how pointless it was lmao. I just liked seeing crunchling evolve. Don't think I remember that Gatorade placement though LOL.
Are the Crunchlings paid fair, ethical wages for the industrialization of their city's prized, finite resource? Are they compensated at all? Did Captain Crunch one day find the source of the Crunchium and manipulate the city's inhabitants, appearing to them as some sort of godlike being the likes of which they felt compelled to follow? My theory is that the entire event with the pirates was a fabricated lie. Captain Crunch could see that his influence on the Crunchlings was waning. He needed to do something to revive his power, and increase mining efforts of Crunchium. He employed these fake pirates to cause a false crisis, and put Crunchlings through these games to test their physical limitations. This event not only proved their worth to the Captain, but also empowered them with a sense of pride to work harder. They believed with Captain Crunch's support, their city and well-being was saved. Just like much of our world's leading organizations, if you peel back the layers and see the truth beneath, oftentimes nothing is what it seems. #justiceforthecrunchlings
Hey, I was 9 when this came out, and it was amazing for mini-me. Yes, it came in a box of cereal (but I think a WOW free trial did too around this time, IDK), and yeah, the games were repetitive, but for a kid transitioning from the 90's to the New Millennium, come on. For someone that had an old, bulky I-can't-even-remember-the-brand computer, this was the future. I can't remember for the life of me what I named my crunchling, but for a time, I love it dearly and shoveled Crunch Berries into its gob and petted the shit out of it and I was happy.
Were there different versions of this? I remember it vaguely. The sidescroll through the cave rung some bells. What I really remember is... I passed out once and had a fever dream that I was in the game. I really remember that well. It was nuts. I beat the game and woke up. They said I was out for afew seconds. It felt sooo much longer. In short, the game is real. Play at your own risk.
Thats cool. When I was in kindergarten the school had a Nintendo and you got to play for like 5 minutes if you were the best kid or whatever. I had a turn once. :)
I was actually terrified of this game as a child. Everything about it seems off place and distorted. The sole reason I was afraid of my computer for a year. Captain crunch why
Dude this game was geared for kids of that time. I remember this game and it was the complete shit for my child brain. It is not meant for adults who are are so easily bored they couldn't sit in silence for a full minute before freaking out.
Just learned of this game's existence right now. Def would have bought a box of Cap'N Crunch to get this CD-ROM back in 99. You seem a little disappointed in the gameplay but I ask you this- what have you gotten as a cereal freebie of any sort of value since?
I had this game too. I'm not entirely sure why I used to enjoy it so much lol I had other way better games too. Mostly educational stuff like Jump Start, Freddy Fish, and Zoombeenies (probably my favorite computer game for children) along with lesser educational games that revolved around movie characters like Land Before Time, Lion King, and Quest for Camelot. Thanks for the trip down memory lane though.
Yo, be careful bro. That’s my childhood you’re talking about
I googled this just for the memory’s and he crushes mine.
He looking tru adult w no imagination eyes not wonder filled awesome FREE game out of cereal box which was cool cuz we got to raise a homie game
Pssshhh I told a 19 year old about this and how we'd get actually good pokemon tops, color changing spoons and PC games in our cereal. The result? She felt like her childhood was deprived.

@Hex @MultiTarded My mom had this game it was a big part of my childhood we both loved it and she never got rid of the disc or let anyone take it so we still have it I just need a Microsoft computer to play it on because my old computer is broken of course
Hex same
i wasted so many hours of my childhood on this game. regrets? NOPE!

I was 4 when I played this and didn't even know there were minigames. I just fed and petted my crunchling first thing in the morning every day before school and thought that was the way to play
🤣
😂😂😂
Me two man
Speechless.
LOL aw
This game has been in the back of my head for years trying to find it, at last I can rest in peace
Facts

I LOVED THIS GAME I REPLAYED IT SO MUCH AS A CHILD YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
Ben Peterson Yup same here, before I found out about emulators I had this and for some stupid reason loved the shit out it.
I played this game way more than I should have as a kid!
I have a confession to make. I fucking love this game.
Same here & I did this in my cousin's house in North Carolina when my family was visiting 4 a month 2 b honest but had fun
I LOVED this game when I was a kid, I had so much fun with it lol I just randomly remembered about it and searched it up
Nessie Idk why this game was so fun to so many kids LOL Like he said you just do the same thing over and over again BUT IT WAS SO FUN. I still love it XD

I loved this game as a kid, and yes it came in a box of cereal.
DestinyDK
I honestly couldn't even remember his I got this game as a kid. But I loved it too. It was awesome.
Oh em gee was it Cap'N Crunch cereal!?!??
This game was part of a broader promotion where the captain went missing from the cereal boxes and you had to find out where he went. It was a big deal on Nickelodeon commercials
Man, this looks so old now. When I was a kid, I thought the graphics were some of the best. Still, gameplay holds up, and it's got some fun memories attached.
Yes! The graphics were super good for the time. Smooth gameplay. It was alot of fun. I once had a vision (I passed out) that I was in the game. It was so real. Hahahahh
It was released in 1999. That's when a Crunchling Adventure came into existence.
I THOUGHT I WAS ONE OF THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD THIS GAME
Wow, you spent a lot of time bashing this game when it's literally one hundred percent better than most modern games released today. The level design and graphics are unparalelled for their time and the story is beautiful.
I would not go that far
@@imthegrinchthatstolechrist4384I would. This game was my childhood
...I was literally 5 and remember playing this game. And finding it hard. Aww, I was so young.
They should put this in the Play Store.
I looked for it
I was kind of curious to see if it was on Steam. After all, they have a Chex game on there.
I loved this game as a kid! It’s been a distant memory for so long I decided to search it to pull up some nostalgic memories and you really sucked the fun out of it with your commentary. Sooo 😶 thanks for that lol
BRO CHILL I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID
"You're halfway there! GO FOR IT!!!"
My first trip to the US in 2000, I was visiting my aunt and uncle and baby cousin. It was my first time eating captain crunch and that CD-rom was in the box. When I went back to France, I played the crap out of that game!! I loved it soooo much!! So yes, as a 5 year old it was the best freaking game ever.

Yep. My siblings and I LOVED this dog shit back in the day.
I have the vaguest memory of this... I recognize the jumping level the best of the games, but in reality all I REALLY remembered was feeding little monsters 3x their body weight in dry cereal... Ah, childhood innocence where that was all I needed for joy...
big fan of this game as a kid

We used to play this game religiously in 7th grade. During technology class. The teacher would just let us play games everyday in the computers instead of teaching us ..
Thats around the grade I was playing it. It was a hit apparently. I never knew there were so many people that really really liked it hahahah :D
I am the mother of children that LOVED this game. The music and sound effects are now playing in my head! 😂🎶
I was that five year old playing it I really enjoyed it brings back good memories thanks for making this video
Oh my god I've always thought back to this game :x I played it way way WAY too much as a kid but it was fun playing with the Crunchling
You are correct. As a 5 year old I was addicted to this game despite how pointless it was lmao. I just liked seeing crunchling evolve. Don't think I remember that Gatorade placement though LOL.
Yoooooo, haven't seen this in decades. I spent so many hours playing this as a kid! This was before the internet as we know it.
Are the Crunchlings paid fair, ethical wages for the industrialization of their city's prized, finite resource? Are they compensated at all?
Did Captain Crunch one day find the source of the Crunchium and manipulate the city's inhabitants, appearing to them as some sort of godlike being the likes of which they felt compelled to follow?

#justiceforthecrunchlings
A true classic. As a kid, this game was so legit!
I can't believe I had so much trouble playing this game back then but seeing my female crunchling thing being badass was worth it.
Can confirm it did come in a box of cereal. Used to have 2 copies
My childhood right here! That an Zoombinis!
I had fun with this as a kid. No lies! LOVED IT!!!
still have the disk!
You have me jealous af. 😭
Frame that shit! :D
I loved this game when i was a kid... lol..
When youre a kid in 2000, this shit goes hard
Hey, I was 9 when this came out, and it was amazing for mini-me. Yes, it came in a box of cereal (but I think a WOW free trial did too around this time, IDK), and yeah, the games were repetitive, but for a kid transitioning from the 90's to the New Millennium, come on.

Best and most honest comment.
Were there different versions of this? I remember it vaguely. The sidescroll through the cave rung some bells.
What I really remember is... I passed out once and had a fever dream that I was in the game. I really remember that well. It was nuts. I beat the game and woke up. They said I was out for afew seconds. It felt sooo much longer. In short, the game is real. Play at your own risk.
OMG I remember this game!!!!
Would love to play it again....
This was the first game I played ever where you could customize your character!
i remember loving this horrible dumpster fire with all my heart when i was a wee lad
Just added this to my nostalgia playlist
Oh my god my school used to have this game when I was little, it was one of my favorites!
Thats cool. When I was in kindergarten the school had a Nintendo and you got to play for like 5 minutes if you were the best kid or whatever. I had a turn once. :)
Played this game when i was a kid and i LOVED it. It was so fun at the time
This is the best game that ever came with my cereal boxes
You might hate to admit it, but this is what peak gaming looked like
I remember playing this at my friends place who was my neighbor. I couldn't remeber what it was called other than it was a ceral monster game lol
I used to play this game a lot as a kid. So many memories.
Back in 99, an AOL Online disk would come with an extra 2 AOL Online disk's.
It did cone with a box. I was there. I played it fresh off the box and this shit blew my mind
Core memory unlocked
For a kids game that came with a cereal box, it was great 👍
I thought I was a genius for spamming the spacebar in the rock throwing game xD
I was actually terrified of this game as a child. Everything about it seems off place and distorted. The sole reason I was afraid of my computer for a year. Captain crunch why
Me too! I was creeped out by the bad guy but I did love playing
I played this game so much when I was younger.
BRO I just randomly remembered this game and did a Google search not expecting to find anything but HOLY SHIT
I was like 9 years old when this was coming out in cereal boxes of Captian crunch for free good Golden times
It sure did come in a Cap’n Crunch cereal box. My cousins and I played this for hours. 😂
I remember getting a CD with this game in the mail after mailing in some proofs of purchase from the cereal. Lol, those were the days
This along with Neopets was crack cocaine to me as a kid.
Facts man this game was the shit back in the 90s early 2000s
When a person seriously critiques a free advertisement game for cereal. lmao
Holy crunchlings I remember this game 🤣🤣everything you said is spot on but my 9 year old self loved every minute of it
i remember playing this in 2002 or 03 back when i was 5, was my first computer game
Excuse me...I saved up many box tops and mailed them in to get this game and it was life. It was not some AOL trial free game
I discovered you didn’t need to fill the stat meters all the way. Just equalize them and your crunchling grows.
Loved this game as a kid. lol.
MY CHILDHOOD IN A VIDEOGAME
lol i may even still have the CD for this somewhere...
Core memory unlocked.
That whining tho! This game was great when I was a kid!
Yeah I loved this game miss those days
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼hooked for hours back in the good ol days
Damn I remember being hooked to this game
This game was a treasure.
This was my introduction to gaming. You take it all back rn. The cereal was the worst part of the whole game. 🤬😂😂😂
Tl;dr NUuuuu myyy nostalgiaaaa
I feel like someone just dissed my religion in front of the whole class.
This game was awesome and the chex mix one 2
Can we get a push for a sequel?!?
I don't know why thinking of this game makes me sad, maybe the childhood memories
This game still looks enjoyable to me.
Yeah this was a masterpiece back in the day. Glad to look it up and see this to bring back some memories but hated this guy just bashing on it.
I fucking loved this game as a kid
“Remember that fun game that came in a box of cereal when we were kids “ 🥹❤️
I loved this game 😢
Dude this game was geared for kids of that time. I remember this game and it was the complete shit for my child brain. It is not meant for adults who are are so easily bored they couldn't sit in silence for a full minute before freaking out.
this is the best game i ever played honestly
Right in the childhood!
this game was pretty good for my 4 year old self
Wow I remember playing this
Just learned of this game's existence right now. Def would have bought a box of Cap'N Crunch to get this CD-ROM back in 99. You seem a little disappointed in the gameplay but I ask you this- what have you gotten as a cereal freebie of any sort of value since?
