This game teaches kids four very important lessons: 1. Put oil in your cereal! It's nutritious! 2. Magnets and birdseed are free! 3. If you want a pet puppy just go into a dark and gloomy cave! 4. Don't pick apples or they will EXPLODE! o_o;
Where are the humans you ask? Most of them were killed in the Righteous War where all auto-mobiles rose up to end their enslavement. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Survivors and rebels now living in forests and mountains where auto-mobiles tread not. Some simply try to live in peace. Others wage war on the auto-mobiles by destroying oil wells and the like. Or this is just an alternate universe or different planet where humans never existed and these, "cars," are actually evolved organic & sentient life forms.
I was hoping someone had overthought Putt-Putt's lore as much as I did... :p I like to think the remnant humans you mentioned roaming the less accessible hinterlands on the periphery of the _Motor Sapiens_ otherwise utopian territories, have devolved into ghoulish and semi-sentient creatures - cursed to be dimly aware that they have lost something whilst simultaneously lacking any conceptual awareness of the power and influence they once wielded.
This game is is OCD hell. Why does the frog chew when he eats the fly? Why does Putt Putt use a drive-though car wash even though he is clearly a roofless convertible? Why does he say "now I can see again!" after cleaning the windshield that's _behind_ his eyes? This games has shaken me to my core D:
I'd like to think the world of Putt-Putt is what happened after the end of the movie Maximum Overdrive. But since it's a kids game they omitted all the dead humans in the street.
His headlights are his eyes. WHY DOES WASHING THE WINDSHIELD MAKE HIM ABLE TO SEE BETTER?!? So he eats his cereal with oil. So his oil is all full of something crunchy and abrasive. I feel Putt-Putt is not going to live to old age. Or it might at least explain why his speedometer indicates he has a top speed of 35. At least he brushes his teeth regularly. I'm betting it's that's not toothpaste, it's chrome polish. Yeeep.
Loved this game as a kid! Played it every time I went to my cousin's house. I loved pressing Alt or Shift to speed up the voices and sfx! And the bouncy ball minigame at the toy store, getting _every_ ball to drop onto the space next to the exit so they all say "bye bye!" really quickly. Just found this channel and I freakin love the commentary too 🤣 Edit: 21:30 yellow car must be a Mazda 6
I almost died from laughter! >u< I love how you are pretty thorough with showing all the different features of the game even though it's just for kids.
Also, we learned don't bother to put the top up when you go for a car wash or a new paint job. The upholstery needs to get cleaned (and coated in paint) too!
Yaaay! Putt-Putt joins the Parade. Now we need to see you play either another Putt-Putt game or (if you'd prefer playing for a bit longer) one of the Spy Fox games...
I've love to see more of the Putt-Putt games, I love the series and I think its extremely funny, but I don't want to actually buy nor play them. I'd rather you make a short video like this and it be quick, simple, and funny. Thanks for the great video and I hope this feedback helps!
Feels weird that most Humongous Entertainment games can be completed in just under an hour. I remember spending several hours playing them when I was young.
Depends on how they are played. When I used to play anything from Humongous Entertainment as a kid, I usually play for a long time due to their interactivity. It's addicting to point and click at any object to see what they can do.
We have some of these putt putt games on the computers at the school where I teach. They're used for computer club in the early years and primary departments.
I love these old videos they make me feel so happy ....I hope you know that these really help with anxiety and I genuinely always enjoyed the big entertainment computer games too and always wondered what I was missing out on as a kid since I didn't get the hone all them so it's cool getting to see them being played
Well this is some nice notalgia. My favorite out of this series was probably Putt Putt Travels Through Time. Stangely, I can still remember the theme music for that one 15 years later...
Now I really want to see you play a Sly Fox &/or Pajama Sam game in your LPs. :) I sadly missed out on these games in my youth but back then I was playing the amzing & fun Math Blasters Series of Learning Games which I really miss now. :(
My mom bought this for my little brother when he was 3 (a couple of years after this came out I think?) but I ended up playing it despite being 7 years older than him. 😂 I think even today I would still have fun playing this. I know the game like the back of my hand and it's so cute and charming. 😊
I like these kids games when you just want something simple to play :) And do a review/let's play of Hokus Pokus Pink, it's somewhere between this and mid 90s point and click adventures if I remember it correctly. Totally awesome game :)
I'd love to see more humongous play throughs! Maybe another Putt Putt or Pajama Sam game. I remember I could never beat pajama Sam 3. ^^ Also you're right about Pep making kids want dogs. I remember being actually kind of sad that I could never befriend a lost dog. XD
I always played that little mini game in the toy shop, clicking the red square thing on the left side. I don't know what it's called, but it's like some kind of pachinko.
To be fair I've never heard a cow moo like that. It was like it started mooing with it's mouthful or started choking on the grass it was eating. Or maybe that's how a cow would moo if it's mouth was shut, you know what? I'm putting to much thought into this x3
That sound effect when you put money in, maybe it's me, but it reminded me of Donald's mad instrument-playing skillz (and I do mean mad) in Symphony Hour, y'know when he went batshit insane and played them all at once?
Wait, I played this game a bunch as a kid as it was the only Putt-Putt game we had, but if we assume Smoky is a normal sized fire engine, then Putt-Putt is really small. But if Putt-Putt can put a lawn mower + other junk in his boot, then he must be a decent size car. So how big is Smoky then? He must be massive! Also there's a lot of traffic going to and from the movie theatre and the cave. "I've got-a very important job I need you to do" *does Italian hand gestures* "Deliver these 'groceries' for me". Little did he know but Putt-Putt was delivering the largest batch of cocaine that Carworld (?) had ever seen. Number 3 red street looks like a big French Putt-Putt with your green paint on.
The only Humongous Entertainment game I ever played was Blue's Birthday Adventure, because I was a huge Blue's Clues fan growing up. Not sure if it's readily available, but I'd love to see it played.
Your videos rewatch value is great. If you've covered this in other videos, I'm sorry; but would you consider doing three again?! I'd definitely watch you play these again
Car Town... yeah remember that other kids game about the human set in Human Town? No one thought that was redundant at all, nor worried about what they might call the next town along either.
i remember when i once found a game i loved as a kid in the store for super cheap and i bought it all excitedly like hell yeah i'm gonna play Timmy's Sea Adventure so hard but then it turned out that my computer was too good for it and it's been like 3 years since then, i'm 21 and i am still upset about that. you could check Timmy's Sea Adventure out maybe, if you find it? It's a really cute point and click imo, looks nice too.
