Replay – The Scooby Doo Spectacular
In 1969, writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears had a dream to create a television show about a talking dog, a genius, a stoner, and two other characters with no definable traits. The show was a hit for some reason and spawned a franchise that continues to find success and receive new entries even today.
To celebrate Mystery Incorporated and their talking dog, we decided to take a look at a few of the games the series inspired starting on the Genesis and then moving to the PlayStation 2. You also get to learn, with a professional prepared essay, why I don't like Scooby Doo, but must admit it may be the most important entertainment franchise of my professional life. Andrew Reiner, Leo Vader, and Javy Gwaltney are there, too.
Every week, Game Informer editors enter the vault and dust off games from every genre and platform imaginable. Watch Replay to relive fond (and not so fond) memories from gaming’s past.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
