The listing, Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, 1993 Children's Game ages 3-8, CD-ROM for DOS & Macintosh, Collectable! has ended.
Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon is the second game in the Putt-Putt series. It was released in 1993 by Humongous Entertainment for the DOS operating system as well as the 3DO.
An accident at Mr. Firebird's Fireworks Factory caused Putt-Putt and Pep to blast to the moon. They need to explore the moon to receive rocket parts to return home.
This was the first Humongous video game to feature the soundtrack composed by George Alistair Sanger, who would then compose later popular HE games such as Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds, Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo and Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head To Your Feet. Unlike the other HE classics, the MIDI soundtrack to this game was also optimized for higher-end sound cards, such as the Roland GS. It was also the first Putt-Putt game in the series to feature a vocal opening theme (on the 3DO version and the later Windows versions; the MS-DOS and Macintosh versions simply had an instrumental opening theme.)
