This was released on a floppy disk as a promotional item for the Mr Pibb soda. A mad scientist has turned all your school mates into zombies to do his bidding. It's up to you to cure all of them and capture the mad man responsible for this. It's similar to Doom in a sort of way, but you find cans of Mr. Pibb that have an antidote and use burps instead of guns to turn the zombies back into high school students. In the game you collect keys and stuff to fight the last boss. Megaphones scattered around the school turn them back to normal even faster. Your school mates aren't going to sit around while you burp on them of course. They'll attack if they see you, draining your life. If your life runs out, it's game over, and you'll be stuck at school forever. Its back-to-school theme involves the rescue of students and teachers by a hero fueled by Mr. Pibb. 750,000 floppy-disk video games were distributed at quick-service restaurants in the West and Southwest U.S.A. It targets boys ages 12-15 and was available for 99 cents to $1.99 with the purchase of a combination meal at participating McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and other restaurants featuring Mr. Pibb in Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Denver, Sacramento and Austin, TX. Mr. Pibb is a direct competitor with the Dr. Pepper soft drink. |
