Publisher iam8bit and developer Retrotainment has resurrected another 80s icon with Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum. Related: TMNT Game's Infamous Dam Level Couldn't Even Be Beaten By Its Co-Creator Fellow 80s icons the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have also been experiencing a gaming resurgence of late, with the release of TMNT: Cowabunga Collection - which repackaged a number of classic Turtles games - and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge harkening back to the heroes in a half shell's golden era. With many 80s icons seeing successful resurgences, such as the popular Karate Kid continuation, Cobra Kai, it was only a matter of time before Garbage Pail Kids would return as well. Thanks to its over-the-top art ranging from childish to borderline revolting, Garbage Pail Kids cards lined the pockets and lunchboxes of millions of kids through the 80s. In a time when kid’s entertainment was more child-friendly, the risqué imagery of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards was a phenomenon. Previously, iam8bit published a rerelease of Battletoads for NES for a limited time. In the 80s, Garbage Pail Kids were trading cards that featured gross-out caricatures parodying the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, yet despite its popularity, it never received its own NES game. The Garbage Pail Kids are back in a new game from publisher iam8bit, which will release for modern platforms and, surprisingly, the NES.
