Pajama Sam: Life Is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff - PC

Pajama Sam is an excellent game to teaches kids about problem solving, in a fun and entertaining way. I read some of the other reviews about the game being slow. The graphics are very good in Pajama Sam, so you need a decent computer with a decent graphics card for this game to run smoothly. Using an AMD 950mghz, with a GeForce2 graphics card, and a full install to the hard drive this game will run fine. This game is also made to challenge kids with their thinking skills. If you need help to complete this game the Atari web site under support has a Hints, Tips, and Cheats section that is a free to access.

I am so disappointed! My children and I love all the Humongous Entertainment titles. They are so clever and well-executed and I was so happy to see another Pajama Sam out. What a mess it is, though. The voice is completely off-sync with the character's movements and the screen freezes every time you want to move from one scene to the next. My 5 year old actually got up from the computer the first time she was playing it and said it was no fun. (and she's a hardcore fan of Putt Putt, Freddie Fish and Pajama Sam!) If they don't put out a patch, and soon, I will never buy from Atari again.

Like one other review of this game, I must say I am disappointed. I bought this game for my 6 year old nephew to play when he visited. He was so excited when we loaded it onto the computer. He was excited when the screen came on. Then he started playing the game. There were constant interruptions in gameplay no smoothness of movement between scenes as we have come to expect from the other Pajama Sam games. We adjusted the computer running speed to see if that would help, it did a little bit. However, when he completed it the first time, he decided to try it again. The only change in location of anything was the jar for the fireflies and the trading cards within the scene. No other changes were apparent. He gave up after two times and has not touched the game since. After purchasing this game, my nephew says that he "likes the first ones better". We will be sticking with the first three games, thank you very much. Very disappointed in the game.

Pajama Sam is back! I bought this after reading most of the reviews below. I have to say is that they are mostly all true. Technically this game is in beta but the game play is still good if you can close your eyes to the technical snafus. The voice sync is awful, the game runs slowly (this is inexcusable with at animated cartoon type game) and it takes a minimum of 160MB on the hard drive. If Humongous could make their early DOS games run well why can't Atari do the same with game on toady's faster computers? Sounds like they wanted to get this thing out for the Christmas season. The voice does sound different. Weather it's the same kid but older or a different kid is difficult to tell but they game does lose something because of it.On the plus side the game is still fun to play. Pajama Sam is still the cleaver, mischievous kid as he's always been. Although I wish Atari didn't have a hand in this (their quality standards seem to be a lot lower that Humongous' standards) I'm glad we have another Pajama Sam game. Hopefully a patch will be issued for this game and that will bring this game back up to Humongous' standards for the technical issues.

This was the last game in the PJ Sam series, I found it a teaching tool for my 3 & 5 year olds. It's really helping them to remember to put away their things enabling them to participate in more active experiences. They look forward to rainy days so that they can play PJ Sam.

I received my order within days, my only surprise was that this purchase was for a gift and it did not come in the box as advertised on Amazon. This game/disc came in a plain white cardboard disc cover. The presentation was a bit lacking. But for the price ($1.98) I probably shouldn't complain. I would purchase from here again. I can't rate the game yet, it's a gift for Easter but all of the other Pajama Sam games are great!

I wish there were many more of these adventures. They are so much fun and really quite challenging. My grandchildren and I feel so satisfied when we "beat it". The kids are thrilled ("I dream about this game, Grandma"). The humor is top notch.

did not work after installing - i tried to uninstall and reinstall and still 'does not work'

For what you are showing I didn't receive the item as publicized. I just received the CD and not the box as illustrated. I'm not that happy as this was to be a christmas gift and just giving a CD looks cheap. I was expecting to receive it with the box. Is there any possibility to receive it with the box as advertised...
