interactive versions of the popular puzzle book series
one of my favorite things in kids' media is stuff that goes WAY harder than it has any right to. it's so easy to phone this stuff in, but these games truly felt like so much love and care was put into them. i think walter wick, the man who did the art for the original ispy books, is a truly one of a kind artist, and while i'm not sure if he participated in the environments for these games, or if they're moreso just based on his work, but they absolutely nail the art here
also, there's a weird amount of replayability to these. you play through all the riddles, then it will give you the option to play again on a harder difficulty, and there will be other new elements, too. spooky mansion is the example everyone knows, where you get to go through escaping the house three times, and the final time feels like a cute little culmination moment (no spoilers in case you wanna see it for yourself)
my favorite still has to be ispy: treasure hunt. i don't what it is but they somehow made the environment of smuggler's cove feel like a real ass lived in town. and it feels huge!! and it feels like it has real history, like you can see the lives of the pirates passing through here. ALL THIS FOR FUCKING EDUCATIONAL KIDS HIDDEN OBJECT GAME. like who does this anymore??
unfortunately, i'm not sure if any are playable anymore save for maybe spooky mansion?? (not the ugly wii version, good LORD talk about a downgrade). however, i'm pretty sure all of them are findable on youtube playthroughs, so go check 'em out! if nothing else, they're great to fall asleep to

- purble place was a straight gateway drg into PC gaming (and the games that came with the โ90โs-โ00โs paddlepop stick ice creams (rainbow flavour was goated))
- my littlest petshop made me feel like the prettiest girl at the party every time
(tekken on the PSP also gets an honourable mention - the PSP walked so the nintendo switch could run)

I recently was re-exposed to a huge part of my childhoodโplaying Mario galaxy with my little brother! We were obsessed with this game and would play it over and over and over again.
My college housemates and I are having a blast with thisโthank you Clem for letting us borrow it <3
Highly recommend you do something to make your 7yr old self happyโฆ
