Double Down Browntown
Colonel Sanders lived an interesting life. In an attempt to bring him back into the public eye, fast food chain KFC wants to tell the story of his life, though it seems like it might be embellished a bit in the free minigame collectionColonel Quest.
Each of the five games represents a fictionalized stage in his life leading up to opening the fried chicken joint. It begins withSixth Grade Dropout, an auto-runner where a young Harland Sanders has to escape a very long classroom. Then comesBaby Business, a reskin of the oldGame & WatchgameFire, representing his time spent as an amateur obstetrician. After that isCourtroom Brawl, a fighting game to show his time spent as a lawyer. Then comesGas Station Shootout, where he duels a rival gas station owner. Finally, there isChicken Time!, aRoot Beer Tapper-like featuring customers hungry for his original recipe.
I managed to finish with two golds, two silvers, and a bronze. For my trouble, I got a coupon for $5 off some fried chicken. It’s not clear if performing better nets a better reward, because after I upped it to three golds and two silvers, I couldn’t get another coupon. Oh well.
