This space exploration game, which has a humorous tone to it, has a few in-game commercials for a few bizarre products that are part of that game’s universe. One of those products is the Mini Mall Monkeys Micro Mills Plaza by Lil’ Labs, a shopping mall biochamber in which you can grow your very own Microhumans after mixing MicroLife packets into sub-zero radioactive water.

This science fiction game, which parodies that genre and has many pop-culture references, includes a spoof of Sea-Monkeys called Space Monkeys, which end up becoming helpful in a section of the game during which the protagonist (Roger Wilco) hatches them with an alcoholic drink and uses them as a distraction so he can free his imprisoned crewmates.

Galactic Inquirer

Amongst the supplemental material included with this game, one can find a copy of Galactic Inquirer (a parody of the National Enquirer tabloid), which humorously expands upon the game’s lore and provides some needed information to make in-game progress. In the pages of this tabloid, we can find an ad for Space-Monkeys.
