In 2005, Burger King was looking to connect with teens. Burger King realized that gaming was a great way to target that particular age group. So Burger King contacted Microsoft expressing interest in publishing games for their platform.

Philip Oliver, co-creator of the Dizzy games, took the project and instructed his company, Blitz Games, to develop 3 burger king games.

Philip's company and Microsoft worked closely with Burger King to make sure the game met their demands. And Burger King prioritized making sure all of the characters that were going to be in the games were portrayed the way they wanted them to be.

The games released on November 19th 2006 for $3 at all Burger King locations (with purchase of a value meal). 15 years later, I'm here to take another look at them.
