And speaking of little things, I love how lively the animation in this game is. I find myself enjoying the little things in this game, such as the optional conversations (sample: “I like cheese.” “Hey, who doesn’t?”) and the sound effects. It’s basically an hour of fun, G-rated material, just like an episode of Sesame Street. And there’s a gameshow, and dancing furniture, and an extended musical sequence that I have memorized, and a high speed minecart maze, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The Land of Darkness, which is surprisingly bright and entertaining, has a host of puzzles and fun characters, like the hippy Carrot who is leading a Salad Liberation movement, and Otto the boat who is afraid to swim because he doesn’t know wood floats on water. Can he find his missing things and then defeat Darkness? Of course, the tree with the lazy eye (on the left) ends the conversation by threatening to keep an eye on Sam. So now Sam is stranded in the Land of Darkness without all of his stuff. The trees steal Sam’s mask, lunchbox and flashlight in the name of a customs inspection. Just like in The Wizard of Oz! Only these trees are more funny than scary, what with their silly voices and the leader tree’s constantly-moving lazy eye. Sam then journeys to the Land of Darkness through the power of imagination (or a wormhole in space/time-I’m still not sure which), but before he can reach Darkness’ house, he gets attacked by evil talking trees. Sam's superhero pose is quite impressive. Of course, before he can do that, he needs his Pajama Sam mask, flashlight and lunchbox. Instead of giving into his fear, he decides to be brave like his favorite comic book hero Pajama Man, and he sets off on a quest to vanquish the foul villain Darkness. Pajama Sam stars Sam, a young boy who is afraid to sleep with the lights off. Applying the successful Monkey Island formula to children’s entertainment is a win-win scenario for everyone, and as you might guess, it results in a stellar game.

That way, people like me who don’t enjoy the MI series could still have adventure game fun. That is, both the jokes and the puzzles make sense about 30% of the time. Fortunately, Monkey Island producer Ron Gilbert created Pajama Sam In: No Need To Hide When It’s Dark Outside, also known as Monkey Island For Kids 6 to 8. Everyone agrees that Monkey Island is a great videogame series, but personally, I thought it was confusing.
