These point-and-click titles have an appealing 2D cartoon format and can be an ideal "starter" set for young gamers. This set has a profound and popular history on the PC and Mac before this latest remediation. Interaction works well with the Wii remote (no nunchuk required) except when accessing item inventory at the bottom of the screen.
The autosave feature interrupts game play, but can be adjusted in two of the games. Players can skip animated cutscenes by pressing the – button, but then they would miss some of the funniest moments. Players can interact with several objects and move by selecting the edges of the screen or navigation markers like arrow signs. The characters' mouths don't always match the dialogue and the audio can be hard to hear at times, but the easy levels make progression a breeze for young gamers. So take a leisurely pace and enjoy these easygoing adventures with beneficial puzzles, side missions and problem solving challenges."
From Gameshub: "Iconic Humongous Entertainment games like Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, Spy Fox in “Dry Cereal”, Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It’s Dark Outside and Pajama Sam 2: Thunder and Lightning Aren’t So Frightening are being ported to Nintendo Switch in February. For anyone who grew up in the edutainment era, it should be a wild blast from the past.
The 1990s and early 2000s were a time of great change for young children. While ‘fun’ had previously meant going outside, throwing a ball around or playing dress-ups with family, the adoption of computers at home and in school meant that ‘fun’ slowly began encompassing digital games, too."
VGUtopia writes, "I was a big fan of PC games growing up. Anything Tycoon would always be nearby for me to build, destroy, and torture people in zoo’s, amusement parks, and eventually even prisons. Eventually my mom and I would make monthly trips to Toys ‘R’ Us where she’d take me to a small shelf in the middle of one of the isles. Every time I saw that shelf I felt an overwhelming sense of joy because it meant that I would be going home with a title from Humongous Entertainment."
