One of the greatest Mac/PC games of the 90s. I linked a long-play video for nostalgic purposes

This was on my grandparents' Macintosh. It is not a good game. But the art style and frustrating gameplay is lodged in my brain. I do find the premise hilarious. The character you control is bound to a swivel chair and can only scoot around lol
Here's a let's play for an example of gameplay. Shout out to Ambrosia software. Integral to my childhood video game nostalgia.

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library.
I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af.
so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

I fell for the advertising for this as a kid and it ended up under the tree one christmas. It's a game where you watch TV and hang out with a Pikachu, talk to Pokemon, go out in the world. A life sim, maybe? Who knows. It's slow and meandering but I loved it, spent hours in the in-game paint tool and named my Pikachu "Bruce" after my favorite stuffed animal at the time. I've revisited it throughout the years; showed it to my niece who enjoyed it and would pester me to put it in the Wii when I babysat her when I was a teen as well as through emulation as an adult. It's chill and calm, a weird blip on the Pokemon timeline.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones โบ๏ธ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
