Pajama Sam and more Humongous point-and-click classics come to the Nintendo Switch

During the late ’90s to early aughts, the Washington-based studio Humongous Entertainment rose to prominence through the release of four popular series of point-and-click children’s adventure games: Pajama Sam, Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, and Spy Fox.

After the publication of Time travels through Putt-Putt Freddi Fish 3Nintendo revealed today via Twitter, that the Nintendo Switch will soon receive several titles from the Humongous Entertainment Catalog. Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It’s Dark OutsideIts 1998 successor Pajama Sam 2: Thunder And Lightning Aren’t So Frightening, Putt-Putt saves the Zoo, Freddi Fish 3, The Case of the Stolen Conch ShellAnd Spy Fox: Dry Cereal.

Founded in 1992, Humongous Entertainment produced over 30 interactive adventure titles, eventually becoming the third largest children’s entertainment-software company in the U.S. by 2000. After Humongous Entertainment was purchased by Infogrames, aka Atari in 2005, it went bankrupt. The Humongous catalogue was then acquired by Tommo videogame publisher, who has continued to release the games on other platforms.

Though it’s been more than two decades since the release of a new title in the Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, Putt-Putt, and Spy Fox series, Humongous’ original games remain enormously popular among a generation of gamers who came of age during the turn of the century and still hold up as charming and entertaining experiences. If it’s been a few years since you last sat down to play them, or perhaps you’re new to these games, it’s never been easier to do so.
