If you liked LucasArts, I think you'd like these. Ron Gilbert co-founded it. They're more for children but still very fun and humorous.

I recommend checking out Pajama Sam - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c0gqPBx8BE - , Spy Fox, Putt-Putt, and Freddi Fish on YouTube to learn much more.

Also it's a $100 dollar at $20.

GOG's loss. :-P Of course I'd like to see the games come here, but I'm not getting my hopes up and right now I got me some DRM-free installers which makes me happy. (Plus the Postal 2 update, gameplay very similar to the Humongous games.)

Curiously, is there any way to hide games in your Humble Bundle account?

I'd like to pick up the $20 tier to play with my 6 and 2 year olds but am not sure I'd want to forever have the assortment of 28 games smack in my inventory mingled between Hotline Miami or Shadow Warrior... maybe creating a second "family friendly" account.

It's too bad the android versions aren't included in the bundle. The kids seem to prefer playing games on the tablet (they are young).

I don't have kids yet, and I never played the Humongous games as a kid. They really don't look all that appealing as an adult. Am I right in assuming that they're essentially simplistic adventure games that only kids and nostalgics would appreciate?

Kudos to Humongous for making them DRM-free by the way.

I think you can gift it to yourself. After you redeemed the gift, you'll have access to the page but it wont show up in your library until you claim it.

As I recall, they're all supported by ScummVM, so you can just install ScummVM on your tablet and play them like that (unless of course you're talking about an unjailbroken iPad)

That is a good point. Off to the humble store . . .

This may be the wrong thread for my little rant, since it isn't about about the flash bundle, but still: Damn you Squenix! Tomb Raider GOTY for $7,50, Sleeping Dogs for $5? I'd be all over that shit in an instant! But No DRM-free = no sale! Squenix, why do you want to shove Steam down my throat so much?

Bought the lowest tier and as far as I can see the DRM-free version is English-only. Or is there any way to change the language inside Scummvm?

I'm not sure about that. On Steam, you can apparently change the language by editing a game's properties in the library before you even launch the game.

ahahahahahaha

Initially, I thought about adding parentheses next to each game to detail whether it had a DRM-Free download or not, till I discovered that everything was Steam-only, so I decided not to bother.

And it certainly was the right decision, it's my brain that needs to register that when no platforms are indicated for each game, I need to first check the fine print at the bottom. ;-)
