Rating: - A caution for Windows Vista x64 users...
Hello everyone...
I've had a lot of fun with this game, too, since I first played it in 2000, it's one of my favorite games for kids. It works fine in Windows 9x, XP and I assume, Windows ME and 2000 Professional. However, when I installed the game on my copy of Windows Vista Home Premium x64, the game (the main .exe "sputm90r" file) will not run, even using Windows XP and 95/98 compatibility modes. :-( This was confirmed in an exchange of e-mails from Trymedia Games technical support.
I don't know if it will work in 32 bit Vista, it's possible. I would have to find a system with Vista 32 bit to test this on.
May God Bless you!

I played this game when I was younger; it is good clean fun... with a hint of sarcasm I never picked up before but which gave it a new spin I could even enjoy as an adult. Fun for the whole family; even the parents as you go with Sam and he gets over his fear of Darkness!

I originally bought this for my now 10 year old when he was around Kindergarten age. He loved it and eagerly learned computer controls and problem solving why completing this game. We are now buying it for his 4 year old brother who played a free demo upon his brothers recommendation and loved it. I thought this was simpler than "You are what you eat from your head to your feet" and "Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening". We have enjoyed the whole series. The Putt Putt series (ex. Putt Putt saves the Zoo)is a good series as well.

This was the last of the 3 PJ Sam games that our daughter played. She was 8 when she played this one and went through it pretty easily and it was fun for her. Not quite as good as the other two ("Thunder and Lightning" and "You are What You Eat"). Like the Freddi games from Humongous, it has small variations each time it's played, which keeps it more interesting in additional runs.
