My impression of this game is that it was a high quality game similar to the Spider-Man PS5 example in the opening post.

the Spider-Man PS5 example is not to say high quality but instead is for intention. in this case, i think the adventure time games were probably intended to be made just as a licensed game, but just with a talented team behind them. it's basically impossible to judge on quality anyway bcos how good a game is is entirely subjective

okay I'll. extend this to tonight actually. I'll give people a few more hours just in case!

oh yea this is over now or smthn! ill go and rate things soon

unless ppl have reasons, i'll prob close this at 9pm edt

It's a licensed game from Microids, they are known for publishing a lot of crappy licensed games (kinda like Infogrames at the times)
I honestly don't know if this Blacksad game should be considered shovelware, I just know it was very buggy when it released, and that it has a jazzy soundtrack

hm. idk how to classify this, it seems to be a game based on the series out of the decision of the publisher rather than at license. similar to a sony's spider-man situation, which i wouldn't count

I was going to suggest Street Golfer from that series (I can't remember the Japanese name) but it's hard to find any OST uploads.

found the ost, if you'd like to switch smthn to that u can but u dont have to

I thought I finally found something good but then I noticed the 45 minute rule, so can I like use both of my nom slots to have you listen to the whole thing? I think some of the loop points are shorter than their length would make them seem so you can probably skim the whole thing in 45 minutes anyway.

Frankly, don't worry about the 45 minute rule. I prob made it too short anyway.... You can nom more if you like dw

I have a game in mind, but I can't find its soundtrack anywhere :(

I'll probably be able to source it myself if you just say the name! I'm. fairly okay at that kinda thing

okay maybe this is a bad idea but i think it'll be fun and i have a lot of time where i can just listen to music so...
Upping allowed nominations to 2!

Should I change Cheggers for something else since you've played it before, or is that okay to stay?

I'm happy to keep it lol, it is just one song and you have the opportunity for a whole soundtrack but that's more your personal choice, I'm still happy to rate it

excellent username, I don't recognize you but hi

thanks, hi!

Okay I will say. For context to people who might not know me as well. Old console recs are completely fine but just know I'm uh. kinda known for not being big on SNES if it doesn't sound like Amiga. Not to discourage from SNES nominations tho lol just something to note if people have to decide

Short version: Ultraverse was a competitor to Marvel & DC. Marvel bought them out,

OH. yea actually, i remember another sega cd ultraverse game from a marvel vs capcom music thing i was doing lol, never really looked into them much though

Fluttershy_Pony posted...

If this doesn't count for whatever reason (too mainstream of a pick?) then... uhhh... I have a Care Bears soundtrack saved somewhere but I have too much nostalgia for the game to consider it shovelware.

this should count but shovelware is not at all a depictor of quality in this case. shovelware can be good (which is honestly one of the main points i wanted to push by making this!)
mainstream picks aren't banned or anything btw lol, i just like finding fun new stuff (frankly, never heard of this OR the marvel comic and i have had very big marvel fan phases, squirrel girl 4 life)

Would a tower defense/dating sim originally named "Woah! I Got Sent To Another World Where We're All Rats And Now I Have To Date Them!" count as a very specific audience? If yes:

i will say. i think it was really hard for me to use "Shovelware" as a thing and try to explain it bcos, yea this ends up letting stuff like just. quirky indie games slip through the cracks of my definition. i'd say no, sorry.

+ Cheggers Party Quiz (PS2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK3zC2UwJg8

i have played this game, i will say rn that the game is entirely silent other than this being played in the menus and credits. it's insanely funny and awkward

new rule: overlook the obvious :)

starting off with a classic it seems

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! (yall and stay close to the funky... idk the rest of the words)
If you know me, you might know that I famously adore shovelware music. And so, I have decided to give myself a possibly daunting task of listening to as many shovelware soundtracks as you can throw at me. (By as many, I mean 1 or possibly 2 per person depending on how daunting the task is...)

Shovelware, according to how I feel at least, is a type of game that is made either for a licensed property, a trend or for a very specific audience, usually some child interest. I don't think all licensed games are shovelware, not out of quality but out of their principle of. being made, I guess? For example, I think Spider-Man 2 (PS2) is shovelware, due to the fact it was released to tie in with a movie, while Spider-Man 2 (PS5) is not, as it was released to just be a game representing Spider-Man as a property. This is a bit complex and might require some thought, but I will be pretty lenient with decisions so hopefully your picks should be okay. Sorry for how unclear this is lol. Main point: Shovelware is not just bad games, just usually a game that, for one reason or another, was made to get sales for a specific market - usually of kids, but not always.

Some basic rules:

• Shovelware only please! If I deem something to not be shovelware, I might ask for a new nomination, although this probably won't happen. If you can make a fair case for it, I'll allow it.
• 1 OST per person to start with, but, if the task seems feasible, I will up it to 2 at some point. Check back in!
• I will only listen to 45 minutes of soundtracks that are over 45 minutes. Probably. If it's not too far over that it's fine and if there aren't many long soundtracks, I can deal with it, but I just want to ensure I'm not selling my life away to 5 3 hour soundtrack submissions or something.

Standardised format would be nice but not necessary. To make it clear when you're giving me a game, for example, the Wii version of Chuck E Cheese's Party Games, do this
+ Chuck E Cheese's Party Games (Wii)
and if you decide you no longer feel in the Party Games mood
X Chuck E Cheese's Party Games (Wii)
(i'm doing the X since gamefaqs seems to hate me every time i try to use a - )
Links to soundtracks would be helpful but I can sort them out myself if needed!
Also, extra info always appreciated, such as platform and composer.

Here's a banger or two for inspiration. (And because I want to show them off)
