    Oh my god. I'm probably one of your younger set of viewers, so I rarely see something I'm genuinely nostalgic for on this channel... But as someone who obsessively played freeware in mid-2000s, I loved this game! Thank you so much for covering it!

    Me being from 2000, this game was a staple in computer class in my school circa 2008. Most computers had Windows XP on them and this and Icy Tower was on pretty much every one. I even remember printing sheets of level passwords for my friends because I was the only one with a printer.

    LGR thank you. I completely forgot about this game, I used to play this so much as a kid. I'm glad you've bought this back into my life. It makes me feel even older even though i'm only turning 21 in January. Gotta play this again.

    No waaaay. I've been looking for this game forever... It's the first game I ever played that had a level editor, and it blew my mind. I had no idea it was even popular.

    (I still have the floppy disk with a copy of the game I made to play at a friend's house who had no internet at the time) Ahh.. the memories. :)

    If so many people have played Happyland Adventures, I'm surprised that there's no community around it with newer versions and improvements, level packs and so on. Also, makes me wonder what the author is doing nowdays...

    My sister downloaded this alongside Icy Tower on our old XP after she and i played it on our school computers. The theme song is SUPER catchy and i had it stuck in my head even after i had nearly forgotten the game completely. I actually found out about it again thanks to redownloading Icy Tower on my windows 7 laptop and seeing it with the other free lunch games! Never played the X-Mas edition much, but this video brings back good memories!
