So it looks like the Humongous Entertainment games catalog is coming to Steam.

I saw that. Night Dive was posting things up about it on their Facebook page.

I was aware of that, unless this is a different list.
Edit: Nope, same link in that post.

Yay! My kids and I have been making our way through Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo that we found at Goodwill. It worked from CD beautifully on a Win7 machine. I was pleasantly surprised.

I saw they were on BigFish, so I'll get whatever is cheapest, probably. Unless GOG can get their hands on them.

Bloody hell GOG.

If only they could get a death grip on that IP.

-_-

It should be easy to get all that stuff on GOG, considering it's all owned by Tommo.

Some of my fondest memories are of these games - cherish the moments when they're little, love games like this and look up to you - a friend called them "salad days" but I still have exactly zero clue why!

Oh and you gotta try SpyFox and Freddi too ;-D

Thanks for the tip. I've never tried SpyFox of Freddi before. But I'm sure we'll have fun with them.

Usually we play what I call "lap games." Either I control and they tell me what to do or they just watch the game like it's a movie. But Putt-Putt was the first one where my eldest could grab the mouse and figure out what to do on his own. It's pretty fun watching him solve the puzzles with a bit of little sister and Dad help.

LOL - I put my son on my lap when he was 2 years old to play Cosmic Osmo - by 3 he was saying "I do it!"...so yeah, we still had plenty of fun playing games but Momo was only the "booster seat" ;-p

What was even better was his kindergartner teacher telling me that he had become the class IT guy - he could fix the printer, install a program and troubleshoot issues better than she could ;-D

Aaaaawww :)

That's awesome. I'll have to get him to code something for his teacher this year. :)

Maybe because of the Salad Days manga?
