It was a really blatant knockoff of Miniclips Little Rocketman game (containing the same code, game engine, similar HUD, and even the same sound effects). Today Im not glossing over any specific game, but rather a whole website. Candystand.com comes straight from my childhood and has lived up until this very year. It was home to loads of its own miniature video games playable online much like a lot of sites one would casually discover through a Google search. ![]() ![]() The Life Savers coating gave them a very distinct look unlike any of the other online Flash or Shockwave games. Its especially fun to see games like Frogger and Lemmings be imitated in the form of a Life Savers-based game. A Life Saver Frogger made for a more outlandish skin for a game that was already silly. Of course, its a welcome sight to see other brands like Planters get in on the online gaming action here in Candystand. Throughout the years, Candystand was home to a total of four Mini Golfs. The only one that stayed throughout the websites lifetime was Mini Golf Classic. These games were some of the more creative titles in the genre. Obviously, this classic version was themed around Life Savers. Unfortunately, it was taken off of the website over a decade ago. Its a shame too because I remembered loving it more than Mini Golf Classic. There was even a game made to coincide with the promotion of the Crash Bandicoot Spyro the Dragon games for GBA titled Crash Nitro Golf. This was no Mini Golf game, it was a driving range game named Teed Off. The beauty of this game was that you could score points by aiming at anything on the screen. The freedom included the targets of umbrellas, windows, people, etc. Candystand did have a few more realistic golf games but none were at the comedic caliber this game hailed from. Wrigleys took ownership of the site and provided it with a selection of games whilst retaining a fraction of what was already established. While it did deliver some new games with candy branding, it also imported already recognizable Flash games such as Fancy Pants Adventures. What Happened To Candystand Games Series Of AdventuresFor those of you who dont know what Fancy Pants Adventures is, its basically a series of adventures starring a stickman wearing a pair of pants. Its all fine and dandy but I did somewhat fear that the website might be going away from what made it special in the first place.
