Gorillaz must have done something like this at some point.

I remember their first website was a fully interactive flash page where you could wander round their house/studio which, at the time, was pretty cool. I’m almost certain they turned it into a kind of game to hype a new single/second album or something - like there was a murder and you had to go look around the place for clues, and you found demos for the new record? Am I completely making this up?

I don’t think you are as I genuinely remember being bowled over by how clever that first website was in summer 2001, in between submitting playlists to MTV2’s hour long takeovers that never got bloody played. TBF, I probably deserved it for constantly picking Chemistry by Semisonic.

I think Buzzcock bloke Pete Shelley had an album with a spectrum game on if you got the cassette version. Obviously no idea what it was about or if it was any good.

The Decemberists have Illimat

It’s ‘presented’ by them, but it fits in with their album art etc - it’s meant to be pretty good (7.5 on BoardGameGeek)

Not a band, but there was a fairly decent Michael Jackson moonwalker game that was on lots of platforms.

I once once in a shop which was selling Kissopoly (Kiss Monopoly) which I thought was kinda cooky until I remembered Kiss licence their name to almost everything.

Motley Crue had a passable pinball game out in the 1990s - Crue Ball.

I had it for my Sega Megadrive without ever knowing who they were.
