I love having silly things to do and playing these games is one of them. The best part is the nostalgia from growing up playing these/watching the shows theyโre based on :p

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library.
I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af.
so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

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

๐ฎI would spend hours playing these games. these games were 9 year old me's crack. I would also play Barbie games and I remember that because I didn't know how to spell barbie so I'd get my parents to find it for me, but one time I asked my brother and he just typed in poop to the computer and I screamed because I thought Barbie had turned into poop

๐ฏTwo songs that are on an album, which can be placed back to back, though I think itโs better when they're located at different points in the album. They share connecting themes, or maybe they have the same lyrics, or melodies, to tell their own little story within the story of the whole release. That shitโs cool
