History YMMV / HumongousEntertainment

* NewbieBoom: Humongous' classic games got quite [[ColbertBump the reintroduction to modern audiences]] thanks to Website/YouTube personalities such as WebVideo/PeanutButterGamer and WebVideo/{{Brutalmoose}} dedicating several videos to them. The games coming to UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} not long after such videos were made DEFINITELY helped matters further!

* PortingDisaster: The UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} ports were less than pleasingly received. While it's basically a perfect port with an increase in frame speed, they went entirely unchanged with no new content or features. They were also released as stand-alone titles instead of the more logical compilations, which is insulting as the [=Wii=] is capable of holding games with far more space and power. The actual kicker is that the games were pulled from store shelves after it was discovered they were illegally ported with [=ScummVM=], [[TakeThatScrappy which the fans aren't too depressed about]].

** Why would the parents have to sneak off onto their own computer (unless it’s on the children’s computer) to play the game/s (that they probably bought for their kid/s in the first place)? Why would the kids care if their parents wanted to play the game without them? Like parents don’t also play the video/computer/mobile games that their kids play, with their kids or not?!?

* HilariousInHindsight: Humongous is [[Creator/{{Pixar}} not the last company]] that would create beloved entertainment about [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} cars, spies]], [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory toys]], [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles superheroes]], [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo fish]], [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc a fantastical bureaucracy]] or [[WesternAnimation/WallE going into space]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: One of the biggest selling points for the company was that, from 1995 onward, their games were essentially fully animated, interactive cartoons, complete with hand-drawn character animation and backgrounds (some of which were even hand-painted) mixed with digitally-animated clickpoint sprites. Best of all, outside of ink and color, there was almost no digital assistance with the traditional art.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Much like the artwork, the music for the games was always composed like a regular cartoon or movie, almost always with live instrumentation rather than synth loops, resulting in some highly memorable cues and songs, especially the ones composed by George "The Fat Man" Sanger. There's a reason Curious is trying to get a remastered soundtrack for the games released.
