Wait.. Team 17 has been around this long?! I thought they were a relatively new publisher. Wow!
Never been my cup of tea, so that's probably why I haven't remembered the name over the decades.
that's fair. i think it's been handled by tons of publishers over the years too.
They have been around since they were just a small Team 7
and released a cute Miami Vice inspired top down driving/chasing game called Miami Chase.
It was "common knowledge" Probably because he looks like black ant.
tbh the thing this thread makes me think/feel most of all is 'God I miss when we at least had failed mascot characters!' I miss these sorts of fun 2D/3D platformers. I remember playing one of the Bubsy games at my cousin's house on his PC and I have so much nostalgia for it despite the endless hate those games get haha
Cheating with an '80s one here, but Chubby Gristle was certainly an "interesting" choice of platform character..

The fuck am I looking at here? What's up with his body/arms?Cheating with an '80s one here, but Chubby Gristle was certainly an "interesting" choice of platform character..
To tell you how powerful an artifact it is,
I never actually played Skunny, I never even had a computer in my household then BUT I still got massive nostalgia coming from the video, like a digital Madeleine of Proust or something.
Wait team17 was once called team7?They have been around since they were just a small Team 7

Yeah, but I think they only released that one game under their original name (besides several demos in the late 80s) before merging with a publisher called 17-bit*. Their names got merged too into Team 17.
*nothing to do with the indie developer.
How dare you?
Also you're totally right, Superfrog was kind of just there.
You are crazy, Chuck Rock was a great game.
This game was always on Nick Arcade. It is not very good.
It looks like his hands are behind his back and his shirt is bursting open. The UK is like the Galapagos Islands of the gaming industry where there are all kinds of strange budget games and weird and often bad ports for platforms that only existed there and maybe a few other places in Europe.
There are also some fantastic games on those platforms and a lot of the big name studios and the people who work there got started or got inspired to make games based on their experience with them. There are quite a few of the Spectrum's better games available in Rare Replay.
I watched a LP of it and it doesn't seem all that great, outside of some of the artwork.
Game is pretty fun though, I played that loads on Amiga and Gamegear back in the day. Pretty fast paced platformer with some cool mechanics with the rocks. Its not the best mascot platformer from the 90s, but compared to some of the worst ones?
Team 17 is the original developer of worms , back in '94. A gaming institution
