Andrew, you write “(this game is a port of a 1998 PC game of the same name)”.
Our PC game collection has a Copyright 1996 “Pajama Sam in “No Need to Hide When it’s Dark Outside” ” game; the same year had “Freddi Fish And the Case of The Missing Kelp Seeds”.
All the PJ Sam games had rhyming couplet names (Thunder and Lightning Aren’t so Frightening, You Are What You Eat From Your Head to Your Feet, Life is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff).
All the Freddi Fish ones were “… Case of The …” titles.
What’s with the renaming? (Sorry if I’m nitpicking here; I’m enough of a fan of the H.E. adventure games that I’m pretty sure we’ve got them all.)

Bad fact checking on my part. I had a hard time finding info but stumbled on this PC release here: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/582545.asp?q=pajama%20sam figured that was enough to end the search. Apologies!

hah, I commented on the renaming when I saw these in the store the other day. The blandinization is disappointing.
The games are amazing and highly recommended , though if you have younger children I’d suggest the PC originals as pointer control is easier with a mouse than the Wii controller.
