Today, we're looking at the Advergame genre as a whole. Starting with the release of the first ever advergame, Tapper, in 1983, we'll talk about some of our favorite examples of advergames throughout video game history. These include Chex Quest, Yo! Noid, M.C. Kids, Sneak King and more. We'll wrap up today's conversation by breezing through some other odd examples of advergames, so stick around and join us on today's totally sponsored trip down Memory Card Lane.
