    I actually owned the McDonald Land game on the Genesis as a kid. It was honestly really charming! One of my favorites growing up as a kid who LOVED going to McDonald's. The music sounds great, the sprites nice and colorful, gameplay was a fairly easy platformer for young kids. If anyone ever gets the chance, give it a whirl!

    There was a Bush's Baked Beans game either for mobile or web based mobile compatible. If I remember it correctly, it was pixel art style and was a side-scrolling infinite runner?
    Not so much a game, but Castrol had a tie in for their Castrol Edge oil that was a virtual dipstick whipping app for iOS and I think Android as well. Every time you whip the dipstick, the guy would stay "Now that's thinking with your dipstick Jimmy". Speaking of not quite games but fun apps from companies. There was the virtual Zippo lighter app.
    Moving back into games based on ads. There was an Incredible Crash Test Dummies game for multiple 8-bit and 16-bit platforms. Meanwhile elsewhere in the realm of safety ads turned into games. There was a browser based shockwave game based around the ESUVEE safety ads.
    Miniclip had a few games based around actual brands. Examples of brands they built games around included BP and Starburst.
    Speaking of online browser games. Might as well talk about Candystand by Wrigley and Postopia from Post Cereal.

    Sneak King had a really interesting, unique ability...
    You see, in order to play Xbox games on Xbox 360, you had to install emulation software from MS, this was done through update downloads that you actually downloaded onto a pc, burned to a cd, and then installed from the cd to your system.
    So... what was special about Sneak King... on 1 disc it actually had the full game for BOTH Xbox and Xbox 360, two complete different versions of the game, that worked, no emulation required.
    As far as I know this was the only game release for ANY system that has this unique ability.
    And yes, the 360 version had achievements.
