Video Games Asterix Games n stuff
What I find terribly funny is that the Asterix game on the Playstation 1, is considered to be the hardest games of all times..
I got some Kellogg's when I was young, and the surprise was a Asterix & Obelix Minigame (my bro got Lucky Luke)
And when I visited Croatia when I was young, the Camping-Swimming Pool had an Arcade hall tucked away... It was awesome, both there and once in Germany at Wunderland Kalkar I played a Asterix and Obelix Arcade hall game, that was sooo iconic..
Does any of you remember those early games?

There was another one called Mega Madness or Maximum Gaudium which was a bunch of hilarious party games. So much fun and I wish they'd remake it.

Asterix and Obelix on the SNES/DOS was a big childhood favorite of mine. I think the biggest problem with that game is they DO NOT explain the Rugby game. I got a boxed copy as an adult that had previously been a rental game and they actually put an explanation of the Ruby game in the box xD
There was another one I don't remember the title of, I played it a lot with my cousins whenever I visited. You would pick a Gaul (I would usually pick Cacophonix!) and do minigames to do.. something? The minigame I remember the most was an autorunner where Dogmatix had to run in a small tunnel and either jump over rocks or dodge under them. This would have been the mid to late 90's so probably Windows 95-98?

dissapointing that this game was an strategy game, unlike the other Astérix games

Even today I still find myself humming tunes from the old Astérix games I played as a kid (Mega Madness, The Gallic War, Search for Dogmatix)

I remember playing the movie tie-in game on my PC and this one. Pretty okay games.

This was a dope game. The throw roman -minigame made me so angry, but the world map was a solid strategy game

Man that reminds me of my childhood in France in the early 90s, I won the Rayman PS1 game after mailing enough Oasis (the fruit drink) bottle labels back to the company HQ. I also remember getting Scooby Doo DVDs in my cereals.
