Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Humongous Entertainment (now Humongous Inc) was a company for children's computer games, which is now owned by Atari. Their five biggest franchises were Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, and Backyard Sports, although they had plenty of other small franchises such as Fatty Bear, Buzzy the Knowledge Bug, and Big Thinkers! Humongous was founded by Ron Gilbert of LucasArts fame and Shelley Day, beginning with Putt-Putt Joins the Parade. They became one of the most successful companies for children’s games, especially when their big hit, the Backyard Sports, came out, and actually became the only reason Humongous made a profit. They also made MoonBase Commander and many Blue's Clues' Licensed Games, and their sub-division Cavedog Entertainment made a few non-children's computer games including Total Annihilation and its follow-up Total Annihilation Kingdoms. |
