I grew up on Putt Putt goes to the moon and Putt Putt joins the parade... and I kept playing the demo to Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise (if that's the name of the Fatty Bear game)...
I don't know what level I made in it, but the Barnstormer arcade game in Putt Putt goes to the moon had me hooked.
Later on in life, I became madly fanatical about adventure games such as
Monkey Island 1&2 (can't play 3 as I don't h ave a PC, played 4 but it's missing the same charm)
Full Throttle
Loom
The Dig (If you know what role Orson Scott Card played in the making of Loom & The Dig could you tell me? He's one of my favourite authors, so I was surprised to see his name in the credits. I think he wrote the insults for Monkey Island didn't he?)
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Day of the Tentacle
Beneath a Steel Sky (I realise this one isn't SCUMM based)
Simon the Sorcerer 1&2 (SCUMM based?)
Anyway, I came to have your name connected with the LucasArts games, thanks to the SCUMM engine. It was only a couple of hours earlier this morning that I discovered your name (and Aric Wilmunder's) appearing amongst the burstable balloons at the end of Putt Putt joins the Parade... and having searched for Humongous and not finding it... and instead seeing if you had a website, finding this sad news.... I suppose kid's poiny and click adventure games won't be Mac compatable like Humongous made 'em.
This is very sad news... time for booze indeed.
