Dominos Pizza Noid promotional video game

(swiped from mental floss)

Though the 1989 DOS and Commodore 64 game Avoid The Noid had players delivering pizzas and dodging the annoying Domino's Pizza mascot, this 1990 game for NES let the player act as the monstrosity. Noid traversed through New York using a yo-yo to battle his evil duplicate, Mr. Green. Yo! Noid was essentially a modified duplication of another Capcom game from Japan called Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru; the game play remain unchanged, but different facades were applied to the locations.

The NES one is actually surprisingly decent. Of course it was recycled from a different game. Good for Capcom!

They should have reviewed Drac's Night Out which is terrible but the idea of playing Castlevania as the bad guy with Reebok Pumps is just too crazy.

Also McDonald's Treasure Land instead of MC Kids. Not only is it supposed to be decent (I haven't played it) it was made by legendary developer Treasure.

the biggest thing i remember about the Noid...

was the guy who basically had a mental disorder that lead him to believe that domino's pizza was targeting HIM and telling everyone to avoid him. (his last name was Noid.) he took a domino's pizza store hostage...this was when i lived in GA, and i actually drove past that store when the standoff was in progress! egads!

(it ended peacefully, and he got the help he needed. but wow.)

We used to have the Noid game for our old Tandy computer!

Ah, Famicom era Capcom. The golden age! Or so I've heard, but then Megaman 2 is legendary.
