Most of Postopia's games were lost after the move, probably the Wayback Machine did not archive all of the games, so most of the game files are missing. Postopia was the property of Ralcorp, the company that bought Post Cereals from Kraft, but they were in turn purchased by Treehouse Brands. Between October 11th and October 13th, , a Dev going under the username nightpearl gave the Advergame Recovery Project Discord server a google doc containing 43 lost games.

The Bionicle franchise is perfect proof of trends coming and going, and people eventually forgetting about them completely. However, back in the day, Bionicle toys were all the rage, and when a game of the same name was included in a Honey Nut Cheerios box, it was pretty revolutionary.
The game is an exact copy of the original story of the Bionicle franchise, with classic early s game mechanics. The player gets to control each of the Bionicles as they fight through enemies. Back in the day, it really wasn't uncommon for many video games to be inspired by pre-existing board games , like chess and Battleship.
It's no wonder then that a game like Clue was interpreted as a computer game, and to this day can be played on PC to solve murder mysteries. However, there's nothing more iconic than the Clue game that was included in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal box almost twenty years ago.
It was a breath of fresh air to be able to experience a traditional, well-loved game like Clue on the PC. A somewhat newer game that was also found in a few cereal boxes is the video game rendition of the super popular TV game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. This PC game was included in the Cheerios cereal package as a freebie gift, and made our childhood dreams of participating in the show a reality. With a set of increasingly difficult questions, players had to find the answer between four multiple choices as their points rack up until the final stage.
Not all games found in cereal boxes were simply for fun. Some were more educational in nature, such as Amazon Trail. After answering the call of the Inca King, the player travels to the Amazon rain forests to set out on a journey through the wilderness.
The game encourages exploring and identifying species, as well as discovering new locations while also ensuring proper health and survival capabilities in the wild. Amazon Trail was included in a box of Cheerios cereals, and delivered a surprisingly socially conscious narrative on the state of the Amazon rain forest. It might be really hard to believe, but yes, Age of Empires , no doubt the most popular strategy game in history, ended up being included in a cereal box.
Granted, the first game was only included as such once the second game was released. Age of Empires is all about building and managing one's own empire, choosing from a few civilizations with different styles. From building one's own army to managing the population, this is the ultimate strategy game that many kids from the '90s will remember playing after discovering it in a Kellogg's Nutri-Grain package.
To advertise its cereal brand, Cap'n Crunch actually made its very own unique game which it then included in its cereal boxes. The premise of the game was pretty simple: thieves looking to steal the Crunchium used to make the cereal must be defeated by Cap'n Crunch's crunchling, who just so happens to be the player.
There's three mini games the player needs to complete to train against the thieves and the athletic competition they'll undertake to settle the conflict. It's a very strange and simplistic game, but it definitely has that sweet nostalgia value. No childhood is complete without playing this absolutely iconic baseball game at least once.
