While I do like these games, I think Freddi Fish 2 for 10 bucks is a bit overpriced.
#Scummvm humongous entertainment download
Prices: Atari and a site called Games 2 Download are selling Humongous Games for 10 bucks a pop. "Dude fucking Putt Putt, Freddy Fish, Pajama Sam, and Spy Fox. "God damn man, your video's bring back so many memories D Spy fox, Freddie Fish, Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam all beat Call of Duty by FAAAAAAR! :D" - kid12349, "That was my childhood ! I'm so happy I found this :o" - Molly Mayer, It's wonderful to feel the memories again." - KralZahin731, "I think that I was among the luckiest kids to get playing this amazing 's been 10 years now. "I love my parents so much for buying me these games when I was a kid" - speaker3600, "OH MY GOD SO MANY MEMORIES" - MrChainsawFish, "Putt Putt, Pajama Sam, Freddie Fish, Spy Fox AND Backyard games WERE THE SHIT! Childhood restored." - UserDawst, (If you have any other data backing up the idea that these games are still popular and well liked, please consider posting it.) (Moonbase Commander has about 34 votes, whereas Spy Fox has 93.) That’s not much when compared to others, but we have gotten other games on here for less. The rough total last time I checked was about 1100 votes. (As far as I know, getting into the hundreds is not an easy task. These huge numbers are similar for Freddi Fish, too. Over 500,000 views, and down a few videos, a walkthrough of Putt-Putt Joins the Circus has 470, 000 A parody video by Peanut Butter Gamer called “Putt-Putt does Some Things” has Similarly, the first five videos of Spy Fox has “Let’s Play Pajama Sam Part 1” has almost 180,000 views. Youtube: The first seven videos of Pajama Sam contain almost 450,000 views. (I’ll admit this probably isn’t the best data, but I think it’s legitimate when deciding how well a game would sell.) These games are still popular (see below): Freddi Fish 1 won "Best Children's Game 1994" and I believe Pajama Sam won a similar award (although I can't seem to find the box art for that). Post-Lucasarts Ron Gilbert co-founded Humongous Entertainment. GOG already has some games for kids or those that were arguably initially designed for kids (Manhole, Torin’s Passage, Rayman, Little Big Adventure, Superfrog, etc.) Again, you could argue against some of these, but the point is that I believe GOG should not feel like it has to discriminate against children simply to stay “cool” in the eyes of its audience. Of course, you could argue that Pajama Sam’s animation is not Tex’s live video, but I think this is still a valid point. Humongous Entertainment’s point and click adventures could act as “gateway” (in a good way) to other, more adult-oriented (or more complex) point and click adventures, like Gabriel Knight, Quest for Glory, Tex Murphy, Simon the Sorcerer etc. I’d suggest that it’s not just a “mindless nostalgia” rush, though as mentioned above, these games still have play value. They can be enjoyed by both people who remember these games, and kids of today. Within them are interesting stories, charming settings, funny characters, and logical puzzles, from a time when hand-drawn animation was the norm. These have aged quite well as early point and click adventures, and have sort of a “timeless” quality to them. These games are not like other “kiddie” titles like Jumpstart or Zoombinies (although those are good games too). Why I believe these games belong here and would do well:

Thus, I’m creating this thread “preemptively” to hopefully garner support Nimbus are working on PC re-releases for Win7/8, and I really think GOG should strongly consider selling these + the SCUMM (?some DOS?) originals + the soundtracks here.
#Scummvm humongous entertainment license
However, upon learning that Nimbus Games had a license from Atari to re-release these games, and bringing this to GOG’s attention (as well as mentioning the popularity of these games via YouTube views, wishlist count, “Reddit respect”, etc.), I received some encouraging responses. At first, I didn’t expect GOG to bring them here because of the “kid” focus, and was HIGHLY disappointed by this. Summary of the past year or so: So as you guys know I’m a big fan of Humongous Entertainment’s games of yesteryear, namely the point and click adventures of Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, and Spy Fox. I feel like compiling this information/my opinion/other people’s thoughts into one place would work better than occasionally asking, “Hay GOG, where’s le Pajama Sam?!” It will be periodically updated, but I will try to avoid bumping for no reason as I know that ticks people off, understandably. I'm creating this out of a suggestion by DCT.
