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!

We had this game on our old machine running windows ME. My 6 year old was really upset that he couldn't play anymore on our xp computer. when i saw this claim that it was for windows xp, I jumped on it! Upon receipt I saw that the package had a different picture on the box than the one advertised. It is meant to run on windows 95 and failed to load on our xp machine. Either is is improperly advertised or they sent me the wrong game. We are not happy!

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.

I originally bought this for my now 16 y/o when he was about 5 y/o. In fact, he LOVED it and owned every game in the series. It helped to increase his computer and problem solving skills and provided hours of fun for us both. I loved that it combined adventure with a learning opportunity.

So, last year I purchased a new copy for our 3 y/o granddaughter, but she could not understand the concepts nor did she have the computer skills necessary to move through the game. I had to play the game while she just sat on my lap and told me where to move Sam around. Not much fun for either of us. So, I've put it up to wait until she's older.

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!

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.

My kids (ages 7 and 9) love Pajama Sam! This is our third in the series. It's great for problem solving and thinking about maps in their head. Several of the senarios change so it is a little different each time they play. Very fun characters and all E rated. They giggle and laugh. I recommend this game for primary grade kids!
