Someone at work a bit ago called Green Day an oldies band

oh well
I think they even made a Saturday morning cartoon about these things.
You're close:
The toyline expanded into a franchise with a comic book series, two direct-to-video animated cartoons, and a video game for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Commodore 64.
I looked into it more, and it looks like theres also a more recent YouTube channel with a lot of videos (animated and live action) from about 8-9 years ago.
Did the Spectrum and Amstrad have much of a presence in the US, or was the game made for the UK market?
I mean I can say that on MobyGames every listed review (keeping in mind this is user-generated content and could be biased) is from a UK magazine, that they only have the UK box art, and that the listed releases are all from the UK. I'd err on "UK-exclusive" given that circumstantial evidence.
Yes, and it was delightfully bad.
And a movie.
geee
I thought they were awful then, I reacted badly to their existence. And, 40 years later, take efforts to write this comment to express my displeasure; which gives me satisfaction.
You were lame then, you're lame now.
40 years too late to drive sales with your disapproval.
Remember Garbage Pail Kids cards? Once I saw concerned parents burning them on the local news, I had to get them.
ok
So trashy. Toys for kids with rat tail haircuts.
Party poopers
For kids who stomp on bugs.
I had way too many of these.
You could have stopped after collecting all eight.
Eight of anything besides GI Joe guys, TransFormers or Hot Wheels is a lot. So I probably had all of them and I had like 3 or 4 of the eyeball one. I loved shit like this, and garbage pail kids

I've never heard of this game and it's in my Steam library. Must have been bundled somewhere at some point.
It was 99 cents in 2016 according to cheapshark.com
