If you grew up during the ‘90s and early ‘00s, there’s a good chance
you were either aware of Humongous Entertainment or have played one of their
games. This developer specialized in edutainment games, however their
particular brand of it is what makes their games more beloved to this day. As a
kid, I was one of those people that was aware of their games, though I had
always been mildly curious about them when seeing their box arts at my local
CompUSA (which is now defunct). I didn’t get the urge to actually play one of
their games until I had seen a couple YouTubers I watch play them, and I
finally got my chance through a recent Humble Bundle that contained most of
their catalog. I wanted to play the Spy Fox series in particular, so
I began with the first entry, Spy Fox in “Dry Cereal”, originally
released in 1997. Though the game is over 20 years old by now, I thought it
actually held up pretty well and I enjoyed it for what it was.
