(en) Global Gladiators (ou « Mick and Mack as the Global gladiators ») est un jeu de plate-forme de David Perry pour Virgin Interactive, sorti sur Master System, Game Gear et Mega Drive en 1992, ainsi que sur Amiga en 1993, d'après la licence McDonald's. Il s'agit d'un des premiers jeux de David Perry sur console, mais le style qui fera son succès sur les consoles 16 bits est déjà reconnaissable (voir aussi Cool spot, Earthworm Jim et Aladdin) : les graphismes et l'ambiance sonore sont soignés, relativement inventifs malgré le thème classique (le combat de deux enfants contre des pollueurs de tous types), le gameplay, s'il n'est pas fondamentalement nouveau, propose quelques subtilités. (fr) Global Gladiators (noto anche come Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators) è un videogioco a piattaforme del 1992 sviluppato da Virgin Interactive per Sega Mega Drive e successivamente distribuito su Sega Master System, Game Gear e Commodore Amiga. Una versione per Super Nintendo venne cancellata durante lo sviluppo per ragioni mai chiarite, forse a causa di problemi legali; una versione per Game Boy fu sviluppata e completata, ma venne bloccata la pubblicazione probabilmente per le stesse ragioni della versione SNES. Il gioco è ispirato al franchise McDonald's, e riprende i due protagonisti da un altro titolo Virgin, McDonaldland. (it) Global Gladiators (ook wel Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators) is een computerspel dat werd ontwikkeld en uitgegeven door Virgin Interactive. Het spel is gebaseerd op fastfoodketen McDonald's en kwam in 1993 uit voor diverse platforms. (nl) Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators é um jogo de plataforma, desenvolvido pela VIRGIN para Mega Drive e Master System. O jogo foi uma iniciativa do McDonalds para se enquadrar aos padrões de preservação ambiental. Durante uma visita ao McDonalds, os amigos Mick & Mack são transportados para um mundo dentro de uma revista em quadrinhos cheio de poluição e monstros poluentes. Usando armas de Ketchup e Mostarda eles combatem os monstros e vão despoluindo o mundo. Um minigame no final de cada fase ensina o jogador sobre a coleta seletiva: papel na lata azul, vidro na lata verde, metal na lata amarela, plastico na lata vermelha. O jogo foi bastante elogiado por educar as crianças para a consciencia ambiental. Entre as falas de Mick & Mack, estão a conscientização da reciclagem e da preservação das floestas. O jogo foi bastante elogiado pelo Greenpeace e outras ONGs, por educar as crianças de forma divertida a reciclagem e coleta de lixo seletiva. A midia de games especializada recebeu bem o jogo, que foi comparado a Earthworm Jim mas também "consciente". Foi a primeira iniciativa de ativismo ambiental nos videogames, numa época em que desenho como Capitão Planeta ja divulgavam as crianças a importancia de preservar o meio ambiente.

En SNES-version var också på gång, men släpptes aldrig. Spelet är McDonald's -baserat och har ett miljöpolitiskt budskap. (sv) |
