Just before Christmas 2002, you may have clocked eyes on a memorable, attention-grabbing advert for a game that is now unfortunately little known.It shows heavily bandaged characters - identified only by the names “Dragon,” “Bandicoot” and “Hedgehog” – in hospital with boomerang-related injuries. They then become nervous as an unseen character walks past them. “There’s a new hero in town” is said in voiceover, “and he’s not going to let anyone stand in his way.”This new hero is revealed as Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, a bipedal, Australian-accented thylacine dressed in flowery shorts and wielding two boomerangs – and the eponymous star of the advertised game for Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube. Rof the final product, this was a bold and striking way of revealing this new character - predicting right from the off he was to join, and even overthrow, the pantheon of the great video game heroes.The fate of the series also makes this spot sadly ironic: Ty’s impact was big enough to merit two sequels, but not enough to make him an iconic mascot.
