- Today we're taking a look at Spy Fox in: Dry Cereal, one of several games in the Spy Fox series by Humongous Entertainment. What makes this such a charming children's game? ...Probably that giggling fish.

Acidophilus? That's actually a bacteria in dairy products like yoghurt. Genius
+Yosef Selim Aah i just posted about this i should have read the comments first.
Yosef Selim damnit, you beat me to the punch lol. High fives for you! I also think you can buy acidophilus milk, though I'm not 100% sure about that.
"Screw you adulthood, give me my joy back!" -PUR
Quote of the year right there.
Spy Fox taught me the most important lesson I've ever learned from an edu-tainment game:
ALWAYS
SAVE
I'm pretty sure acidophilus is a live culture used in yogurt. Also, was that *Bull* Clinton giving Spy Fox a cookie?
I will always remember bird guy at the beginning of Dry Cereal: "HEY! WANNA SEE MY TATOO?"
+MikeyInsanity He was the best, I could wasted hours clicking on this guy. XD
Teh-tooh
"Helping Putt-Putt get a paint job".
That...That's sounds wrong.
Yeah, paint jobs are gateway activities. Soon, it's a wheel rim job and a tailpipe and muffler buffing. I hate having to make puns
Why do you have to make puns? Who is forcing you to make puns against your will?
It's a purple car named Pun-Pun. You don't know him, he's not related to this thread at all.
+Greg Bogosian
Hugh Mungus games did. They harassed me to play along!
I played this and all the HE games so much during my childhood and even into my teens. I can trace my love of tattoos back to the "wanna see my tattoo?" guy in this game, who I would click on over and over until my dad came over and turned the computer speakers off lmao
"I saved the cows, and all I got was this lousy cookie!"
-Spy Fox, 1997
Once upon a time long ago, when I was a wee lass, I had served myself a nice bowl of raisin brans... little did I know there was no milk left to be found anywhere in the fridge, so lil' me decided to try pouring orange juice instead...
I did NOT finish that cereal bowl.
Shoulda used coffee creamer instead.
That rabbit reminded me of woody allen
Yeah I was thinking of Filburt Turtle, who's obviously based on Woody Allen.
He sounds like Jontron.
There was also a little igor from frankenstein i think
That's what I was coming here to say, lol
I was thinking of a character from Rocco's modern life-
You need to chase him and jump up the ramp. I loved his "Milk the world again" line, freakin amazing delivery. These games had the best voice acting in the 90s!
I LOVED dry cereal, it's my FAVOURITE game from my childhood
Wait, the rabbit is LGR!
I was thinking Christopher Walken, for some reason.
+Headset Guy Yeah, the voice is very Walken-esque!
i was thinking David Cross.
I was thinking Eugene Levy.
It's obviously Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory... How did no one get this!?
maybe he reminds you of Filbert from Rocko's Modern Life?

@@darrylhamlin7475 I'm nauseous, I'm nauseous
That fish's dam goofy laugh 😂
The first game I never had a problem playing multiple times per day.
This is the Humongous Entertainment series I play the most, it really speaks to me with its humor and spy movie-esque style.
LOVE the Sydney Greenstreet pig from "Casablanca" & "The Maltese Falcon" (aka: Signor Ferari from QfG 2 & 5). XD This game reminds me of classic Warner Bros. cartoons, introducing children to characters and ideas that they wouldn't fully grasp until they were adults!
Also, ain't no shame in enjoying children's entertainment: "Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
--C.S. Lewis, "On Three Ways of Writing for Children" (1952)--
@Awakeandalive1 Nice job recognizing the "dignified" card-playing pig is an homage to Sidney Greenstreet. Good thing I scrolled down thru the comments before I posted. You beat me to it. :)
SPY Fox. One of my favorite computer games back in the day. Love playing them as a kid.
the UK version had spy fox speaking in a more... bond-like accent.
+Salty I think the US one is going for Maxwell Smart...
+feldhamer Yep, definitely.
Even has similar inflections in his voice.
He even says "missed it by THAT much"
Ah milk......2 years ago I was still able to ingest it....................
"cries"
I CAN NO LONGER EAT CEREAL WITH MILK !!! ! !!
I hope one day you will make review of the sequel "Spy Fox 2. Some assembly required", cause it was my first Humongous game and probably the best one in the Spy Fox series.
There's one thing I really love about this game, the randomness! Each time you play the game you could have a very different playthrough.
Actually, this series is a really cool one. I played all of three games as a kid, not once, not twice... you know, like, A LOT. I also played Pajama Sam and Freddie Fish but Spy Fox was my favourite. It had left such an impact that over ten years after I suddenly remembered about it, bought the series on the Steam and replayed it. And HELLA ENJOYED IT JESUS.
The rabbit reminded me of the turtle character from Rocko's Modern Life
I STILL remember that in the dutch version, Blue's ship was called "Zuipschuit".
"Schuit" meaning Boat or Ship while a "Zuipschuit" is someone who tends to drink too much.
Wow, this is really nice art even compared to today's standards. I think I'll have to give this game a go.
I loooovvveee this game so much!!! This and Pajama Sam were pretty much highlights of my childhood.
I absolutely love the Humongous Entertainment games, and the spy fox games were definitely some of my favorites as a kid. I always appreciated how smart and well written the jokes and dialogue were for a kids game.
I remember playing Spy Fox when it first came out way back when, after buying it from a store called Noodle-kidootals. I actually didn't realize that there was an additional ending until I finished playing it for the tenth time or so. To this day, I still have all the original Humongous Entertainment games on disk, lying around somewhere and Spy Fox 1 is, to me at least, the best in the series.
I was seriously pondering the question of whether or not giving a paint-job to the anthropomorphic car makes me unconformable, when that villain goat saved the day by announcing his cruel intentions towards The Best Cheese Ever. Now I have to try a goat milk cheddar, so I know if those plans of his are really as delusional as they sound!
I adored the Humongous Entertainment games when I was a kid. Thanks for bringing the memories back Roses!!
3:18 The way she says "What the...?" LMAO
As a lactose intolerant, I support William's cause.
Doesn't goat milk also contain lactose?m
for that matter you can still make all those same products with goat milk
it's weird he said 'dairy milk' when he meant cow milk..
I played through this game a few times as a kid. There was so much stuff changed in each replay of the game, entirely new characters and animations would show up, it was pretty overwhelming but a lot of it was similar to. Would have been better to make a game that was 3x longer instead imo.
Me thinks the rabbit is supposed to resemble Woody Allen.
Pretty sure that rabbit is supposed to be Woody Allen. I haven't checked all the comments to see how many other people have said this.
My three takeaways from this video:
1) I am stealing the phrase "Reel it in, your weird is showing."
2) Wow, didn't know it was possible to lose an HE game...clearly I haven't played many of them, lol.
3) "Save early, save often." I think you've played more LSL games than you claim, Roses.
And that rabbit totally reminds me of Filbert from Rocko's Modern Life.
There were three games that I played over and over as a child. This, Escape from Monkey Island and Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer. I loved those three games to a point where my mum probably worried about me.
So many sibling memories contained in this game. Just found it this summer for a dollar. Used to play them on a mac, 8mb ram, 80mb hard drive. We played pajama sam too. Haven't been able to play it again yet so this is going to be so weird to see your video! I have that weird anxious feeling. Also it used to run so slow, so it's exciting to see it running normal in your video
I adore your puns!!!! Brilliant review, btw! :)
I loved Spy Fox in Dry Cereal! And I was clearly in my late 30s/early 40s when I originally played the game. I also enjoyed Operation Ozone, though I didn't think it was quite so good.
I'm also pretty sure that the rabbit is a Woody Allen-type character.
Now I find out that I missed "Some Assembly Required". I'll definitely have to get a copy of that one.
You're 30 and lost at Spy Fox? Roses. Gurl. WHAT
Wait, I actually know this game. I wasn't even born when it came out but I played it at the age of like, 5 or something and failed miserably. It was fun though. Spent literal hours looking at those fancy tats!
The rabbit is like a combo of Woody Allen and Kenny Falmouth (Gary Coleman's character) from Curse of Monkey Island.
Loved this review, really funny and now I want to play this game too!
Actually you can defeat him, you just have to choose the right path when your chasing the blimp. One of them send you off a ramp, getting inside the blimp where you take William down and he goes to prison.
Love your videos, PUR! The rabbit at the end reminds me a lot of Filbert from Rocko's Modern Life.
You were right about chicken knuckles not being popular Mediterranean cuisine; they're not, and yes, they actually exist in real life. They're Chinese and they're pieces of fried chicken cartilage.
I realize this video is fairly old and may have already been stated before, but I see people claiming HE games aren't very educational. I would argue that they at the very least teach kids about thinking logically and solving problems with the tools at hand, plus games like Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam teach good manners and social skills for interacting with others who are different. Plenty of adults these days could learn a thing or two from playing HE games.
Your taste in games is amazing.
My favorite game as a child. I played this wayyyy too much
HE pretty much was my digital childhood. Great video.
You have now become my favorite channel please put putt or Freddie fish!
YES! One of my favorite childhood games.
As a kid who grew up in farm country I can tell you that town’s name is pronounced “Acid-dolph-a-lus.” It’s just another of a million milk or milk product references in the game.
I love all your puns, you’re soooo punny
Loving this review. Cracks me up X)
I have no idea how CZcams knew I was trying to remember this game.... Not gonna lie my favorite line was the FETA CHEESECHEESECHEESE
One of my favorite games? Thank you, Roses!
I played every single HE game religiously growing up. I’m not ashamed to admit I still have every single path for the spy fox games memorized.
But that Go Fish game...the one you’re forced to play to get the Lucky Charm... *gets ptsd flashbacks*
That pig can go turn himself into BACON.
We can thank Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame for this.
that rabbit makes me think of a strange hybrid of both Peter Lorre and Jeff Goldblum
Spy fox is my fave of all the Humongous games, I played them when I was the age for them and then a few years back I bought the package with all of them on steam and played them all again. I think my fave is either Putt Putt Saves the Zoo or Dry cereal. I loved that things would change in the Spy fox games, it means that i could play them over and over.
1. The bunny at the end reminds you of The Comic Book guy from The Simpsons.
2. This video was genuinely funny
3. I have never heard of or seen this game in my life, and I'm going to check it out.
In Germany this was a sold as a part of cereal boxes. At least this is how I got my hands on it. This was my fist real adventure game and vor years I thought it was just a weird fever dream, something I had imagined. I'm very happy to say I was wrong.
The gambling pig appears to be a take on Sydney Greenstreet's character from Casablanca, in which he wears a white suit and a fez. His voice pattern is very distinctive.
Most cereals taste great without milk.
these games were honestly really well made. played this and freddy fish alllll the time. looking back im still impressed!
Hey Roses, big fan! Love your work. I have a recommendation for a game that is both creepy AND edutainment! Jumpstart 5th grade. It's not quite as creepy as it was to me when I was 4, but it is pretty damn creepy. It's horror themed and has a very interesting art style. I kinda forget the plot, but a witch teacher like, changes all the kids into animals or creatures or something and you have to go and get all the keys to her house to stop her. You explore the island and there's even a part where one of the maps from the other Jumpstart games is all broken down and creepy. It's really neat.
Well, I dunno if it's what you had in mind, but that rabbit reminds me of the balloon animal vendor in Grim Fandango.
Also, you oughta be ashamed of those goat puns. The fact that I chortled at them is beside the point. ;)
The only cereal I prefer dry is Captain Crunch (the peanut butter one), and I will eat the SHIT outta of that without a drop of milk in sight XD
And I'm all about doing things I'm too old to do ^^; I was watching Spongebob well into high school, and I still prefer YA novels to most adult ones these days.
Nobody needs cow milk for cereals you can use goat milk without a problem :-D
But i recommend Orange Juice, it sounds weird but it's great an really interesting taste.
Just try it ^^
+schissgring I once tried cola as a kid... really, really bad choice
If you click on the truck right after William the kid leaves, you can chase after him and unlock an additional area to get the good ending!
omg man, I'm well over my 30's and I want to play this game so badly now... it looks really, frikkin COOL
I played it in my childhood and at first I really didn't get the path with the captain, because I couldn't figure out the map puzzle. So I skipped every instance of the game the captain showed up and played only the other two paths until I finally figured it out. I played the shit out of this game and I bet I'd know most ways to solve the puzzles today easily when it comes to it.
this game was one of my childhood faves omfg
I remember that on the backside of the boxes to these games it said: 'Learning children to think logical' guess that's educational
This game is how I learned Go Fish. Was actually confused the first time I played it with more than two players.
I never got into these as they came out when I was a older kid, I will admit tho I watched (still do sometimes) children's programming on TV.
Oh great now I have to look up Spy Fox endings. I can't allow a goat to have escaped in my own head.
The rabbit reminds me, just based on the appearance, of one of the kids, Skippy, in Disney's Robin Hood.
I watched Teletubbies as a teenager. And loved it. *buries head in hands*
This reminds me so much of Pink Panther: Passport to Peril. I hope Roses played that one.
Oh boy, I remember having demos of Spy Fox, Freddie Fish and Putt Putt. I loved them, but I never got to play the full games.
I played this and Pajama Sam sooooo much as a child.
"Someday I'll get that filthy animal."
About that familiar rabbit character, maybe it's the voice that's familiar? Maybe there's a similar animated(?) store clerk out there...
5:40 .... O_O *punches the desk* THAT'S WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO! SON OF A ...................... you... how? I wasted SO MUCH time fiddling with that clock! On the ship! I knew I was going to dive somewhere at some point but the puzzle was to remove the chameleon on the deck for the cantina's happy hour so I assumed the clock was puzzle but I kept pressing buttons for like ten minutes with no progress!
What? No talk about the good ending oder about the tango-adicted cat? Oo
Got this game inside a cereal box as a kid, so far sadly the only Humongous game I ever played... well except a little putt putt demo that was also on the CD. Really enjoyed the game and that the puzzles can differ each game. And freakin love this tatoo guy, I could wasted hours on his crazy tatoos. XD
Omggg the demos were the best!
just found the channel and I absolutely love it. does anyone know her video release schedule because probably gonna binge on her videos and want to know how long I need to wait for next one?
You let the bad guy get away!? Roses, you are officially THE WORST secret agent EVER!
is there a spy fox game that also has a top down shooter i swear i remember playing one when i was very young but i cant find it
(i remember it being a mini-game on a watch)
Ahh I love the spy Fox series. They were fun, kind of challenging, and extremely entertaining.
ok, the incursion tattoo got me
"He really goat me good"
Yes. This is why I come to this channel. (=
I only know of Humongous Entertainment because I played a shit ton of games in the Backyard sports series. Even that glitchy mess Backyard Skateboarding.
The bad guy's plan is to force the world to eat dry cereal? *gasP8 So William the Kid is actually... LINKARA! ;)
+Brian Webber *gasp* I thought they prevented him from turning evil. We need to act quick before he mobilizes Comicron One, at least his magic should be gone. Someone get Insano and Neutro on the matter.
love seeing this game from my childhood. I always like playing this kind of games buy for some reason you can't find them anymore for sale some were. :( a bit sad really i would have loved playing these games again , who doesnt love a bit nostalgia from time, time. And i really love the art style of this games.
The Rabbit reminded me of Clint, or LGR ;)
