Big N/PC E3: The Return of a Classic
July 19th, 2008 by Dan

It seems that one of my favorite PC games from way back when is about to make a return with The Humans: Meet the Ancestors. A Lemmings-style game in which you guide a tribe of cavemen to the goal, trying to have them not die, The Humans provided hours of fun for me back on our junky Packard Bell until we lost the anti-piracy copy card.

I can’t say that I like the new Humans art style. Here’s a peek at the way the old game looked from some foreign TV station:

The new style is similar, but lacks some of the character of the old style. Oh well, I just might pick up the game anyway when it comes out.

Humans? SWEET! What in the world took them so long to revive this game?

My guess is that it didn’t sell well during its initial run. I’ve tried to find coverage about this game online since 1995 and not found good info still to this day.

Yet they’re trying it again? I guess it’s the whole retro gaming phase.

    I totally forgot about this. I didn’t get it and I don’t think I’ve ever seen this in a store anywhere…

    Found it at Amazon for $20. Maybe one day I’ll pick it up.
