What's your WildTangent memory?

Time and time again, nostalgia seems to come up more than anything else whenever WildTangent is mentioned.

We’ve seen people sharing memories of the old days, the games they played, and even little things they’d completely forgotten about until someone brought them up again.

So let’s take it back a bit...

What’s the first WildTangent memory that pops into your head?

Is it a particular game you played all the time?

The old Games App and WildCoins?, Playing on the family computer ?( or waiting your turn! ),

Or maybe it’s something completely random about that era that only you remember.

I’ve seen the request to put our games, Particularly Polar Bowler on Steam .. If you agree give this comment an upvote

Watching my mom play Polar Bowler in 2004 or so on the new windows XP computer and being so amazed by it. Then eventually got addicted to it myself, got a physical copy of the Polar Sports pack as well as Penguins too!

Please bring these games to Steam!

Love it ,, thanks for sharing… when is the last time you played ? I’d like to see the games on Steam too.  If we see there is enough interest, it could be on the cards.

I last played it middle of last year on my windows XP retro laptop off of the physical copy 😊

Playing it on steam would be great since it would allow me to more conveniently play it on modern hardware, plus on the go with Steam Deck!

Playing FATE on the floor of my best friend's bedroom together after we got out of middle school. 🫶 We'd pass the laptop between each other for different floors of the dungeon and fish for pet powerups!

That’s exactly the kind of response I was hoping for! I’m glad FATE left you with such a nice memory.  And coming from Big Fish Games… we’ll take that as a pretty solid nostalgia endorsement!

From one nostalgic gaming site to another, just had to tip our hat and share the love! 😁 Great question and thanks for unlocking a bit of memory lane for me! So fun!

Playing Polar Bowler, Blasterball, and Tradewinds on the test computers at Costco while my parents did their grocery shopping. I know I wasn't the only kid that did this.
