Backyard Baseball General Mills Promotion
I have a somewhat rare re-release of Backyard Baseball from roughly 2002 (judging by the files on the disc) that came with a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch as part of a promotion General Mills was doing by giving away CD-ROM games free with every box of cereal. I thought this would be interesting to share, so I took pics of the startup screen. I'll take a pic of the disc too if anyone's interested in seeing it.
If anyone has more info about this promotion please share!
(Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I thought since this was a rare release it qualified as an "interesting find" but I could be wrong.)

I have Monopoly, Operation and Rollercoaster Tycoon. None of which were given to me after getting food/a box of cereal.

Wow, never thought I'd see the whole list of games they offered again. I knew Operation was one of them since I got my copy from that promotion as well :P

I think I got a copy of Candy Land out of this promotion and that's about it. It was the version I loved, though, since it had the screen where you could make the evil dude cry like a baby by turning off the lights.
