Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus (Original Game)

Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Spingus is the first game in the series, released on October 30, 1993 and developed by Crogus Interactive. The game is a point-and-click role playing game and features complex gameplay and extensive lore, setting up the following over 2 decades worth of installments.
== Story Overview ==
The beginning of the game introduces Scrimmy, the game’s protagonist (though in this installment, he is not playable). Scrimmy is on a quest to find the Bingus after the Chungus Pantheon returns to the world, setting off a chain reaction of natural disasters, political turmoil, and even the creation of crimbus holes. In order to find the Bingus, Scrimmy must use a powerful artifact called The Alphon, a Bingfinder that points in the direction of a divine force. Amidst the chaos, different people began to pick sides of which divine forces they would follow, with religions and cults being formed around different figures. Scrimmy hopes to find the Bingus so that he can return the world to normal. 
At the top of the game, the player chooses a brongus to play. They then follow Scrimmy throughout the world, learning more about the Chungus deities and the history of the world. Sprinkled throughout are bossfights, minigames, and side quests.
The game ends when the player and Scrimmy find the Bingus in Newark, New Jersey. However, upon meeting them, Bingus elects not to return the world to normal, and decides to go into hiding once again, deciding that the world is much more amusing with chaos running rampant. This sets up the next two decades worth of installments. 
== Gameplay ==
The game features a variety of playable brongi that each have special stats and features. The game is played with a point-and-click role playing style, in which the player will choose various areas to explore with a game map and various attacks using a complicated interface. Despite many criticizing the Scrimmy Bingus games for their complicated user interface, devout players of the game claim that with enough practice, it becomes easy to master.
== Trivia ==
- The game was originally only playable on specially-made Scrimmy Bingus arcades in Somalia, but it was quickly ported for the Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation, and the Nintendo 64.
