My daughters are grown up now, but they enjoyed games produced by Humongous Software (Ron Gilbert) back in the late 1990s. These are adventure-lite games designed for kids, still look and feel relatively good, and can be played through scummvm. The series include Putt Putt, Fatty Bear (which my 5 year old loved at the time), Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, and Spy Fox. The latter two are slightly more advanced than the earlier series. They all include a good deal of humor, and are designed to encourage exploration of the game world.
- gtrager It's great to see a Humongous game released here on GOG. I hope more will come.
- Accatone Heh, I loved Zoombinies when I was younger. Though I probably wouldn't personally buy them, I'd still like to have 'em here along with Humongous' games.
- Gazoinks Hell yeah! The Humongous games, along with the Nancy Drew series, are probably what got me into gaming in the first place. When I eventually get around to doing Let's Plays, I was planning on playing these again and seeing how much I could remember from the dozens of times I played them
- TheJadedMieu The Humongous titles were games that really affected me (and many others) as a kid and they were what got me into Adventure games in the first place
- Roman5 Get Capcom and Humongous and I will make love to you GoG.
- Urb4nZ0mb13 hell yeah! It would be awesome to play those cute old games again!

Does anyone still remember/care about this company? Their beginner's adventure games are the main reason that I got into PC gaming to begin with ... it would be great to see these games re-released on GOG with all the bells and whistles that come with it.
- pezhead53 Game reminds me vaguely of Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise. I would LOVE to have this game here. :D
- chautemoc must admit I've never played Fatty Bear before, but I have played Putt Putt Travels though time, Pajama Sam: Thunder and Lightning Aren't so Frightening and Spy Fox 2: Some Assembly Required... ahh, don't you just love point and click?
*Votes for all franchises listed above*

Freddy' Fish
Putt, Putt
I would love to have all theses games I bought for the kids years ago. They went nuts when the found Spy Fox and Pajama Sam on the WII and they are all twenty+ now.
- Lou Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head To Your Feet
Pajama Sam In: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside
(all the Putt-Putts)
- Zchinque I had couple of games for really little kids that came bundled with one of my PCs... Freddy the Fish and Putt-putt the car or somesuch. I was WAYYY older than the target audience but I played the hell out of them. Despite being super-simple and cartoony and un-thought-provoking, they were genuinely enjoyable. The Freddy the Fish game in particular was interesting because pixel-hunting was usually humorously rewarded.
- bevinator Now I remember another. Pajama Sam, it came in a cereal box. Cute, humorous little adventure game. I don't remember it very well, but I know I was too old for it and I couldn't stop telling my little brother how awesome it was.
- elus89 Humongous Entertainment adventures.
- asb Excellent, I just vote that one up.
- RedRagan I would absolutely buy something like Put-Put or Pajama Sam, especially if they came with the soundtracks (been putting together a Jeremy Soule playlist for when Guild Wars 2 releases).
- anubis462I Put-Put!
- Scani GOG is nicely balanced. I am (really) waiting for more Humongous Games, since Moonbase Commander is available here!
- vicklemos (vote up the Humongous games)
- Barry_Woodward Hm, why not some kids-games too? I remember playing Pajama Sam as a kid. Probably the third adventure game I'd ever played, but it was the only one that was appropriate for my skill level. Stuff like that and Freddie Fish would be neat to see on here, it'd be a great idea to buy them for when you have to babysit that little sibling or cousin.
- Kocel I definitely second this.
- ggf162 Pajama Sam and the Freddi Fish series
- radic20 Putt Putt goes to the moon (and other Putt Putt series), Castle/Isle of Dr. Brain, mixed up fairy tales, mother goose fairy tales
- SLP2000 I played all of those as a little kid!
- kelseyr713 i think we should have some more games for kids here. even if it's freddi fish or putt putt.
- lugum So cute. I know my first video games were the old Putt Putt and Fatty Bear games, so I recommend those! :)
- SnakeEater42 Yeah, i would love to be able to get some of those games, MUCH better then modern young kid games...
- noname875 AND FREDDY FISH
- Trangmar I was initially excited about Telltale's catalog but I've only really enjoyed Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, mostly because it reminded me of the Adventure games I played when I was in my early childhood like Putt-Putt goes to the Moon or something like that.
- brendano I played Putt Putt, Fatty Bear, etc..
Great games.
I'd support them going on
- prakaa Fatty Bear is amazing and I'd love to play it again. :D (Vote for it!)
As stated, some games are still great these days. As long as at least some of us would still enjoy playing those games from our childhood, I see them as a valueable and unique addition.
- chautemoc I would like to see more kids games available, I bought The Manhole and Beyond Good and Evil for my nieces and installed them only on their systems.
- Stuff some of the old Homongous games (fatty bear, putt-putt) would be cool for a bit of nostalgia.
