I love how, in the first episode, they thought Spyfox’s wisecracks were funny or endearing. Then in the second one, they started mocking it. And by the third, Arin is angrily yelling at Spyfox whenever he says anything.
Yeah, the age order of the games are: Putt Putt ages 3-6, Freddi Fish ages 4-7, Pajama Sam ages 5-8 and Spy Fox ages 6-9. These games were big in Europe as well and for a long time. Like I played these, the Dutch versions, from the age of 7, which was in 2006
I remember how in these games the final escape sequence was actually missable. After you thwarted the villain's plan and they run away if you didn't click the right thing at the right time or tried skipping animations they would actually escape and you'd get an alternate ending.
@@garymcginnis8511there's actually multiple escape sequences too. There's a different one where you chase him in a fancy spy car and picking which roads to take was a big QTE sequence.
@@burnin8able That part isn't actually an escape sequence; it's an alternate way to reach the villain's lair, replacing the whole underwater section :P
This game is actually way harder than the other humongous games. Requires you to use your memory over much longer periods of time, puzzles are more complex.
@@Mario583ahonestly it surprises me how the times we expect arin to be dumb he’s actually smart but when we think oh arin will probably figure this out he ends up taking the next 30 minutes trying to figure out something that people that have never played a video game before could probably figure out😂
- I f*ckin called it! Arin forgot which diode he needed and had to backtrack. - It's Bull Clinton. - They NEED to replay this to get the tango scene. Dan will lose his mind.
That moment when they were all set to take a diode and realized they had no idea which was the right one was the golden moment when you all realize just how genius these Spy Fox games are. Everything is connected.
Tips for these games: - The escape key skips the traveling cutscenes - Use the talk bubble stuff and ask around if you are ever stuck. They tell you where to go. - Click on everything. - Listen to the conversations - they usually hint at some way you can overcome an obstacle. - Use the spy watch fun mode to regain sanity.
I can't stop laughing at the fact that this is a kids game and not only is it super unintuitive but also the grumps are having enough trouble that they had to consult a walkthrough that they then didn't understand.
Honestly if a game like this came out nowadays it would probably also fail not because of a lack of popularity but because the average gamer nowadays can’t read can’t spot obvious solutions to puzzles and can’t spend more than 5 minutes without wanting to shoot/attack something.
I Finished this game when i was in second grade. I would say its very intuitive. as long as you listen to what the characters are saying nobody should need a walktrough XD
@@oOSonicexeOo i was already facepalming in episode 1 where he did not realise the phone number was in the fortune cookie. i was like: its gonna be one of thoose playthroughs XD
My favorite thing is when the Grumps improv lines with the characters’ voices, so them doing it for characters in one of my favorite childhood games is pure gold for me
Fun Fact: This Game does have a "bad ending" if you don't chase the Kit fast enough after he leaves on the blimp and I swear you can somehow fuck up the jump of the ramp but Im I'm not 100% sure
I remember when I first played this as a kid, I didn't know you were supposed to click on the ramp in the truck during the getaway and ended up getting the bad ending. I didn't even know there _was_ a better ending until a friend of mine showed me.
@@blueflare3848 The blimp gets away and Fox is awarded a smaller cookie by the cow president guy. You pretty much just don't get to play those last ten minutes or so.
Aww, no! Was anyone else paying attention to the credits??? "SPY Fox created by: Brad Carlton and Bret Barrett"... ... followed at the end by... "This game is dedicated to the memory of Bret Barrett." R.i.P. Thanks for the entertainment. He was 26 when he died. He died 15 months before this game was released.
It really surprised me that Arin clicked to pursue the blimp (especially after the minor trouble of clicking to get to the other side of the alligator room). So many times when I played this as a kid, I waited for Spy Fox to finish his line before trying to do anything, which was a mistake that made time run out and ended up with the bad ending. It was always such a weird anticlimactic moment seeing Kid get away; it wasn't until many playthroughs later that I realized what I had to do. Glad the Grumps got it on their first try.
Entendres like William getting his "ascot" on the way out. Or Russian Blues "Pleasure, doing business with you" offer new jokes and dynamics is didnt catch as a kid. Love all the H.E. games; but really hope Grumps returns for more Spy Fox Adventures!! Kinda bummed they didn't meet Walter Wireless aside from seeing them endscene. SO GOOOD. SO REPLAYABLE. Operation Ozone is maybe my most memorable of the series.
Spy Fox and Pajama Sam were my favorite out of these kinds of games. And watching them play Spy Fox made me laugh so much. I hope they play the sequels. It’s always fun watching them play these games.
I love all the spy fox games and I am glad y'all played the first one. Fingers crossed bc they enjoyed this one they play the others, or at least spy fox some assembly required bc to me that's the best one out of them all. Glad they got the good ending. Willd that spy fox games had a good and bad ending
What else do you put on cucumber sandwiches? It sounds really nice and refreshing but I always wonder if there's anything else to put on it besides just cucumbers and bread
It seems especially weird that all the female cattle shown are shown on 4 legs, while both of the male cattle shown are shown on 2? Edit: though... if the female cattle were shown upright.. uh, idk, would that maybe be more weird?
This makes me so happy!! I played all the Humongous games sooo much when I was a kid. Enough to the point where to this day I still every solution to every possible puzzle iteration for every Humongous game (except Fatty Bear) memorized to this day. Glad you guys enjoyed them!
It's funny how most of the gadgets are just household objects that any kid could play "pretend" with except for the suction cup cufflinks. I feel like somebody missed the memo on that one.
As a kid I was able to beat one of the configurations,. When I replayed i would reset to keep getting the path i knew how to beat. This was the biggest nostalgia pick for me that Game Grumps have done. Thank you so much!
13:35 The fact that this character is nowhere to be found in this version and his name being the so absurd makes this one of the funniest out of context moments! Or in context because it is essentially out of context.
i remember playing for years, and only beating it once. I loved these games. I also spent a long time playing the "fun" mode on the spy watch. You should check out the sequel, that's my favorite!
It genuinely makes me think about my own mortality to recognize that there might be people watching this that don’t remember the ‘Got Milk’ campaign. This is MY childhood! Get your own! 😂
"Putt putt travels through time" is similar where theres different playthroughs due to randomization where different things happen. Which is funnily enough the one i had access to as a kid. I would restart just to get the other playthroughs.
I really love the guys playing the older point and click type games, these "kids" ones are great as were Dan playing the Leisure Suit Larry series, it'd be amazing if we could see them play either the Discworld games or Day of the Tentacle
I think they would love the Discworld games (especially Discworld Noir), however they probably would get extremely frustrated given how hard those games are (they’re fun just Gods above give me some hint of what to do! 😅)
@@elisabethschmerzler963 Yeah i fully expected them to play them with a walkthrough tbh, i know they've done that for other games in the past, so don't think it should be a deal breaker
@@markc1793 That’s fair. Honestly it would be pretty funny to see them play the Discworld games and react to all the characters and bits since they would have no prior context of the novels. Seeing them react to the Librarian and Death would be amazing!
Somehow this game was less intuitive than every kings quest game combined. And those were bat shit insane. “Of course you use the cream pie to blind the yeti into falling off the cliff, you thought you use your sword to fight it? Are you crazy? A sword can’t hurt a yeti!”
Played this game so much as a kid but had no idea it had different paths, I've never seen that ending! This and Freddy Fish and the missing kelp seeds were my jam
So fun fact: Humongous' last official game was "Backyard Skateboarding" as the original studio went defunct in 2005. However, it would be sold on and release seven more "Backyard" sport games before kicking out two Freddi Fish games and a Putt Putt game in 2010 and 2013 respectively. It's probably one of the few times a studio was defunct, sold on, yet still kept its name and survived.
This is an older video, but the Humongous games all had alternate stories, since kids couldn't afford new games very often, it gave them more replayability than most adventure games.
I played this game as a kid and couldn't beat it either, it was SO HARD! I played almost all the Humungous games and the Spy Fox games were the only ones I couldn't figure out how to beat XD those late 90's kids computer games were frickin ruthless.
Spy Fox is absolutely one of my favorite point and click games! Super Happy you guys finally got around to it! Here's hoping you get to the others soon! 🦊🕵
Loved to see this, and was so happy to hear this was their favorite Humongous game. I was 7 when this came out, I played through so many times that I saw just about every possible path you could take in the game. Was super happy to see Arin didn't miss the jump onto the blimp at the end, like I did the first few times I played.
I would love to see more Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish games! My favorites as a kid were Putt Putt Saves The Zoo (which they played), Putt Putt Travels Through Time, and Freddi Fish 3!
Wasn’t the boat meant to go out to sea and potentially get sunk? Isn’t that why Spyfox was investigating that part of the ocean; because the ship’s manifest said that’s where they would sail? And then Marta Hari (who, weirdly, wasn’t a double agent even though the historical Marta Hari was a Dutch exotic dancer who was executed by the French for spying for the Germans in the Great War, and is generally a name synonymous with ‘traitor’ today) said the ship was going to sink at a specific time. It seems like that boat with its fancy party served no purpose but to introduce us to Russian Blue. But WHY was the ship going directly to Kidd’s secret lair? Why did Hari say it would sink? I feel like part of another procedurally-generated plot slipped into the main plot being played out here…
As a kid I struggled playing this game and just thought I was bad at it. Till I remembered how my dad had to play it for me and I would watch him struggle as well. Not really places to look up walkthroughs if you don’t know where you’re going back then. Spy fox remained my favorite game out of all of them though so I’m glad they are playing it, I guess it’s the whole reason I like watching people play video games now a days. Just reminds me of watching my dad play them
Please play “Spyfox, some assembly required” I was so happy you guys played this. I grew up playing all humongous games, but dry cereal always held a special place in my heart.
I got this when I was 5 years old in 1998. I played it probably 20 times before I realized you could chase after William the Kid… then I played it another 20 times. It’s wild just how much of my current lexicon that I still use daily is derived from this game. I literally quote this game on an almost daily basis and, because of Game Grumps, am now remembering the source material
Me as a kid would have loved this game. Me as an adult: “So the spy attends a televised ceremony where he gets an award because he’s really good at spying and is addressed by his codename. Feels a bit counterproductive, doesn’t it?”
I don't think he even has a code name. I think he's literally just named "Spy Fox" because he's a spy that's a fox. It's the only name he ever introduces himself as. Even to the people he's spying on.
Arin disarming his milky weapon of destruction really made the cows come home and produced a G.O.A.T. byproduct that ultimately resulted in the creation of the now infamous anti-goat milk agenda.
MY. FAVORITE. HUMONGOUS GAME! (next to the backyard series) This was a huge backbone into my comedy and sarcasm! YES, replay the game for the different experiences and/or play the others!!! They are amazing!!!!!
Aww, it was dedicated to Bret Barrett, who was a writer who worked on Monkey Island 2, one of the Putt-Putts and one of the Freddi Fish games. Apparently he was really young when he died.
In dutch the title is "Spy Fox in operation Milky Way" It's a pun because the literal translation from dutch to english would be "Spy Fox in operation Milk Away" which is pretty epic

Arin was right, Spy Fox is aimed at kids aged 6-9 (compared to Putt Putt which is for kids 3-6)
Yeah, the age order of the games are: Putt Putt ages 3-6, Freddi Fish ages 4-7, Pajama Sam ages 5-8 and Spy Fox ages 6-9.
These games were big in Europe as well and for a long time. Like I played these, the Dutch versions, from the age of 7, which was in 2006

As a kid I struggled playing this game and just thought I was bad at it. Till I remembered how my dad had to play it for me and I would watch him struggle as well. Not really places to look up walkthroughs if you don’t know where you’re going back then. Spy fox remained my favorite game out of all of them though so I’m glad they are playing it, I guess it’s the whole reason I like watching people play video games now a days. Just reminds me of watching my dad play them
Please play “Spyfox, some assembly required” I was so happy you guys played this. I grew up playing all humongous games, but dry cereal always held a special place in my heart.
Grumps while I'm poopin hits different
Ya hear that Grumps Incorporated! Hiighrow wipes his ass with your content!
Poopins while grumpin
Great use of comments
The grumps are making me feel a lot better for how many times I struggled with this game as a 7-9 year old
One of my absolute favorite games growing up. Glad you guys played through it and enjoyed it so much.
I got this when I was 5 years old in 1998. I played it probably 20 times before I realized you could chase after William the Kid…
then I played it another 20 times.
It’s wild just how much of my current lexicon that I still use daily is derived from this game. I literally quote this game on an almost daily basis and, because of Game Grumps, am now remembering the source material
24:12 Yup. President _Bull_ Clinton. As a kid I never put that together....
Me as a kid would have loved this game.
Me as an adult: “So the spy attends a televised ceremony where he gets an award because he’s really good at spying and is addressed by his codename. Feels a bit counterproductive, doesn’t it?”
I don't think he even has a code name. I think he's literally just named "Spy Fox" because he's a spy that's a fox. It's the only name he ever introduces himself as. Even to the people he's spying on.
Arin disarming his milky weapon of destruction really made the cows come home and produced a G.O.A.T. byproduct that ultimately resulted in the creation of the now infamous anti-goat milk agenda.
I hope they play more Spy Fox! was lots of fun to watch!
please never stop doing game grumps yall bring so much joy to my life
Some of the characters in this game have a mild Rocko's Modern Life vibe.
Kinda agree. While this is from another Joe Murray show, Monkey Penny kinda looks like she's related to Lazlo. LOL
MY. FAVORITE. HUMONGOUS GAME! (next to the backyard series)
This was a huge backbone into my comedy and sarcasm!
YES, replay the game for the different experiences and/or play the others!!! They are amazing!!!!!
Aww, it was dedicated to Bret Barrett, who was a writer who worked on Monkey Island 2, one of the Putt-Putts and one of the Freddi Fish games. Apparently he was really young when he died.
Sad they didn't get to encounter the joy that is Hong Kong Doodle lmao
"WORLD."
"BYE."
In dutch the title is "Spy Fox in operation Milky Way"
It's a pun because the literal translation from dutch to english would be "Spy Fox in operation Milk Away" which is pretty epic
