Scrimmy Bingus

Scrimmy Bingus is a video game rabbit hole that can be observed from two perspectives: one, by pretending that the game and it's extensive history is real; or two, by observing the meta-history behind the franchise. This wiki caters to both perspectives, though the second has far less articles. Most of the meta information can be found here. 
== What is Scrimmy Bingus in Real Life? ==
Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus was a fictional game created by tumblr user Utentagen (aka Willow Queen) in 2014. It was posted as a joke image with a fake Amazon purchase page, but following it's popularization as a meme she made an animation and two albums based off of it. She originally imagined it as a haunted horror point-and-click game, which the wiki has used as the base for the game's fictional plot and lore.
Not much lore was created by Utentagen herself for the game, so it was up to the early writers of the wiki to fill in the blanks based off her original intentions.
If you'd like to learn more about the meta history of the game, check out the Know Your Meme page detailing it's history on the internet.
The animation has since been deleted off of YouTube and Utentagen's Tumblr no longer exists, but you can find articles covering her two albums based on her work here and here.
== The Wiki's Perspective ==
This wiki mostly treats the game as if it were a real extensive franchise beginning in the early 90's. This introductory article is one of the few in the wiki that acknowledges the work as fiction; the rest of the wiki is meant to be an enjoyable rabbit hole experience in which you can get lost in a string of weird and wacky articles. For some extra fun, we recommend getting lost on the wiki late at night in the dark to add to the surreal perspective.
== Scrimmy Bingus, Treated as Real ==
Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus is a point-and-click RPG released in 1993 by the developing corporation known as Crogus Interactive, who had little luck releasing games before this breakout title. Following it's success, they planned nine more games and intended those to be the entirety of the franchise, but following their series' continued critical and commercial profit, they decided to go all-in and create an expansive, generation-spanning convoluted franchise off the game. Crogus Interactive released 3 games a year for two decades until 2015, in which they met their demise and have since disappeared. Rumors have spread since 2017 that Crogus may make their long-awaited return to release more games. In 2021, Crogus announced they would be releasing the first new game in the Scrimmy Bingus series in 8 years, set to release on the 30th anniversary of the series.
