Scrimmy Bingus Sclungus Arena

Scrimmy Bingus Sclungus Arena was a spinoff title in the Scrimmy Bingus series, developed by Crogus Interactive and published by Bohemia Interactive exclusively in Europe only. The game was released in 2006 for the Playstation 2, Wii, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Playstation 1, PC and Macintosh along with a planned DS port that didn't materialize beyond planning stages of development. The game could also connect to Bingus.net to download new maps, additional items/weapons and access an online multiplayer mode being active until shutting down in November 2014, except for an offical Azerbaijani server that is still active to this day.

The game is a third-person shooter featuring reoccurring characters alongside brand new characters, creating a custom character is also possible via the use of Bingus.net. The game features several game modes including Bingus Hunt where players are tasked with finding the Bingus while competing with each other, Crungy Battle in which players must work together to defend their turf against the Crungy Spingus and Splongus, Capture the flag has two teams race to capture the "flag" represented by a Ticket in which the side with the most flags captured wins, Free for all features a battle royale match where players face each other until only one is left and Team battle features a battle against two teams in which the team with the most downed opponents wins. A single player mode is also available featuring a story in which the Brongi are tasked by the Bingus to stop Laughing Kid from stealing the legendary Sit n' Spin from Sclungusland, the player is tasked to complete different campaigns within levels such as Garfinko Farm, Generic Industrial City Zone, Citrus Zone, Glitchland and Scroobus Zone. 
== Trivia ==
The Gamecube and PS1 versions of the game required a special peripheral called the Bingus Network Link which plugged into the PS1 or Gamecube parallel port to access Bingus.net unlike other versions which could access the service with their own online network. Although the game contains multiple languages to coincide with its European only release, leftover data in the games code shows a partially finished Japanese and Korean translation hinting that the game was considered at one point for a more international release, these unused language options can be accessed via the use of the program TimothyPlus+ 2002 School Edition, however the sequel Scrimmy Bingus Sclungus Arena 2: Scrungle Battle features a Korean translation. In 2007 Binyot Corp. released a Romanian and Russian translation of the game for the Romanian, Moldovan and Transnistrian market called (Romanian: Scrimmy Bingus Extremă Arenă, Russian: Скримми Бингус Экстрим Арена, literally Scrimmy Bingus Extreme Arena) this version doesn't feature any differences from the standard version although it lacks reigion locking allowing the game to play on both PAL and NTSC systems. Scrimmy Bingus Sclungus Arena was one of the last games offically released for the PS1 during the last year of the console's lifespan.
