Uhhh…what the heck is this?
Freddie fish my beloved.
@TYRANACLES
You clearly did not grow up in the early 2000s lol.
Hell yes, getting this immediately! But does this mean there aren't plans to release the rest of the Humongous games on the Switch?
@WaffleBoat well I was alive but early 2000s would’ve been high school. When I first saw Freddy fish I was thinking it was a snes game from back in my day but that’s James pond. I love collections tho so if these are a good time I’d be on board.
They are already have physical version on Wii, right?
This collection is way too cheap! It's worth at least $125.28.
@Anti-Matter Only some of them, and the ones that did had weird audio sync issues.
Weird it's not all of them. It's $60 USD.
Man, these were my childhood. A few more additions would justify that price tag for me, so I'm content admiring from afar this time around
PeanutButterGamer is about to have a field day with this rerelease! 🤣
6 games for $60 and a ridiculous wait time courtesy of LRG, or instant access to all 35 Humongous Entertainment games for $50 on Steam... Decisions...
@Chibi_Manny I can't read Putt Putt without hearing that dude in my head! 😂
Did anyone else play these on computers in Chapters? In the kids book area? They seem so familiar and I think that’s were I would play them
@Grim I think so, I never played them in Chapters but I have a slight memory of what you said.
Starring your childhood faves...
Yeah, I think I was already an adult by the time these games came out. So I am officially old now. Thanks LRG, for making me feel old.
Nice! While these came out at around the time that I was growing out of them, I fondly remember some of the educational ("edutainment") games from my childhood, and it's a shame that there doesn't seem to be as many nowadays, at least not of the calibre produced by Edmark, The Learning Company, MECC, and Headbone Interactive back in the day.
I understand that the console ports of these are barebones, with hardly any improvements (and in 4:3 for low-res 640x480 displays from back in the day). I'll give them a look and I might pick up a copy or two for my nieces/nephews.
@WaffleBoat : These have 90s CD-ROM written all over them. These would have died out in the early 2000s. In fact, most of the major educational software publishers for PC/Mac went out of business around that time, which still disappoints me. Kids today are missing out.
Omg and I swore off Limited Run. Well sorry, self, but this is amazing and I need it. Hot Ziggity
Bro PBG is going to eat this up.
The problem with these Switch releases is that it only has English voices. While the Steam versions also have German, French, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish.
If you buy it for nostalgia I think it is important that the voices are the same as you experienced the game as a child.
Weird random collection. When are they going to release Freddi Fish 1 and 2 on the eshop?
@Daniel36 haha right there with you! I had no idea what these games were at all so I looked them up. All we had when I was a kid to learn with in an ancient IBM was Oregon trail and the hidden minesweep in the toolbar.
Interesting, but not really for me I think.
Saw this the other day on LRG’s website. I’ve been gaming since the early 90s and have no clue what games and characters these are.
It"s pretty cool that these games are getting a physical release in this age. I loved the Putt-Putt games as a kid.
Unfortunately, the Switch version of Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo has a bug where the cursor doesn't change when it's over something interactive, making it hard to tell what things you can click on. I emailed the developer and receieved a reply acknowledging the issue, but it was never patched.
@Thief I think they already have.
Sadly no "Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise" included
@KayFiOS and you can get them on sale throughout the year on steam too. I did that for my kid, think I paid $29.99?
@Diagnosed_H1N1 I believe it was Cyber Monday when I said it was $50, and I forgot to pick it up, but maybe I'll add that to my wish list and hope that it goes on sale for $30, because that sounds like a steal!
