Most people know Ron Gilbert as the creator of The Secret of Monkey Island. More recently people know him for DeathSpank and The Cave. But there was a time between then when he started his own company, Humongous Entertainment, that focused on making adventure games for children. Such titles included Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox games. Now Humongous' collection has been restored for a Steam release.
The restoration was courtesy of the Portland-based Night Dive Studios, a developer that specialises in restoring old games (like System Shock 2 and The 7th Guest), and former NeoGeo X Gold distributor Tommo Inc, the company that purchased Humongous Entertainment from Atari last July following a bankruptcy proceeding.
"An entire generation of 90s and Millennial kids grew up on Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox games. Night Dive is thrilled to be able to deliver these transcendent games to a new generation of fans" said Night Dive Studios CEO Stephen Kick. "The Humongous Library is filled with hours of incredible animation, great dialog, beautiful soundtracks and fun for the whole family. Humongous set a standard in interactive and educational gaming for kids that has never been matched."
