MessageCreio que vários de nós gostávamos deste jogo !
Sempre quis saber porque um jogo tão legal quanto Yo Noid! nunca teve continuações posteriores e caiu no completo esquecimento. Seguem os fatos... PS. Mais alguém além de mim curtia esse jogo?

Birth of the Noid
One of the 80's advertisement masterpieces, the Noid was Domino's Pizza chance of creating a nationwide ad frenzy. They did not disappoint.
Like other company characters, Trix rabbit and the Cookie Crisp robber - a couple of examples, the Noid was a mischeivous character on a mission to make pizzas cold with his "freeze ray". Though completely simple (and quite dumbfoundly), the slogan: Avoid the Noid, became a hit catch-phrase.
Toys, Merchandise, and Video Games
Popularity and merchandise go together hand-in-hand in the advertisement buisness. The Noid was of no exception. Domino's Pizza handed out the licenseto numerous toy companies. The results were a bombardment of hats, pins, posable figures, and so much more.
Then came the games: Avoid the Noid was the first Noid game to be released exclusively on the computer. The game revolved around a deliveryman trying to get away from the Noid and his hijinks while delivering pizzas to a multi-level office building.
The second, and last, game gained a much larger fan base - Yo! Noid for theNintendo Entertainment System.
Rest in Peace
But the Noid didn't receive all good press. After the craze subsided and older commericals were played due to the lack of new ideas, fans of the Noid grew tired of him. Other icons, such as 7Up's Spot, were now popular hits.
Then, an incident involving a promo event left a man dressed up as the Noidhiding for his life from a rebellious teenager gang. He was caught by them(behind a tree) and then beaten to death.
Domino's Pizza quickly took out all promotions and commericals with no notices. This resulted in employee and fan boycotts until it finally became history. The Noid vanished in the blink of an eye.
