Play McDonaldland (France) Online

McDonaldland for the Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1992, developed by Ocean Software. It was part of that wave of licensed games from the era, where familiar characters and brands tried to find a place on the console. You don't hear much about it now, but it had a certain presence on store shelves next to the more famous platformers and adventures.

You play as two kids, a boy and a girl, who have to chase down the Hamburglar across various food-themed levels. The main goal is to flip burger-shaped blocks in mid-air to create platforms and pathways, which you then use to navigate the stages and eventually catch the thief. The screen scrolls as you move, and you'll jump on giant french fries, avoid enemies like walking apple pies, and collect golden arches for points. The pacing is methodical, and the block-flipping mechanic takes some getting used to, making certain jumps feel a bit precarious. It's a strange but oddly satisfying process when you finally get the rhythm of bouncing from one flipped burger to the next.
