Humpty's Scramble
released on Jan 01, 1998
This game was made to promote the western-Canadian family restaurant chain "Humpty's" and their Kids' Club. In this 1998 DOS platformer, Humpty must rescue his little buddy Hammlet from an evil wizard by traversing various areas including a forest, a marine cave, a mountain, and a maze-like castle. The game was sold and distributed for free at certain locations. Despite having a rather limited release, it impressively touted pre-rendered 3D visuals and a first-person 3d maze in its final area.

this is absolutely not a very good game. It's a million times better than it has any right to be, for a promotional platformer created in the late 90s for a Family restaurant with only 45 locations mostly in Alberta and Saskatchewan. but it's not, by any objective measures, particularly good. the last couple of levels are a 3D maze. this game is fascinating and astonishing, it's very existence is a miracle, but good? no, not really.
