I already posted this on tfishell's Humongous Support thread, but I think this news needs to have its own thread. Yes, Humongous games are on Steam thanks to Tommo and Night Dive. I hope that they bring all these titles to GOG too:

28 Classic Titles debut today on Steam including ‘Lost’ titles and Character Bundles.

LOS ANGELES, CA- (April 17, 2014)— Night Dive Studios, a classic games developer that specializes in the restoration and optimization of retro classic gaming titles, and Tommo Inc., a global game and entertainment company, have announced today that 28 all-time great Humongous Entertainment Adventure, Activity and Arcade titles are now available on Steam .

Night Dive and Tommo. So why not here and why Steam? (not that i have a great of interest in those games...others might)
Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon FTW! :)
Hope we will see some of them here too.
Nice! Now i can finally try one of the Pajama Sam games. :)
Nice!

Well done Night Dive
Why does Putt-Putt insist on a '®' after his name? He's obviously a corporate whore while the other characters are keeping it real and giving back to the kids.. or... something.. YEAH!

it is part of his name - your pronounce it "pott pott'er"
Can't say I've heard of them outside of ScummVM's compatibility list, but Putt-Putt sounds a little strange to German ears ("Armes Put-Put" is what you say to someone out of some kind of mock and non-genuine sympathy)

I think its supposed to be an onomatopoeia of the sound of a small 2-stroke engined car (heh as if I understand what '2 stroke' actually means) pootling along...

I think you're right about the engine sound, I have no idea if you're right about the technical part since I know nearly nothing about cars.
I think the 2 stroke thing might be related to the pistons.. maybe?
Like it pushes the flammable mixture into the engine on the down and upstroke of the piston?
I really wish I'd learned car maintenance during my childhood.
I'm eager to play some Spy Fox myself, so I truly hope the publishers do the proper thing and bring these all to GOG.
Why the hell were these not added to GOG?
