![]() The place where my dad worked is gone now and dad is gone now, too, but playing Tuneland those days in the office are happy memories. ![]() Since it was only dad working late in the office, it kind of felt like this fun opportunity to be sneaky, too - like getting to stay in a store past closing. It felt really special because I could only play it during those times and also because in the office, I got to drink fancy water from the water cooler in these weird, cone-shaped cups or get a candy bar from the snack area. I would play it on an office computer when my dad had to work late and when he had to watch me, so I pretty much only had access to it on special occasions. It wasn’t even mine - it was part of this pack-in of CDs that had come with one of the computers at my dad’s job. I think it probably played a role in establishing the groundwork for my later love of point-and-click adventure games.

There were no puzzles or plot, as I can recall. Kind of similar to Spyfox/Freddie Fish/Pajama Sam in that you’d click places and these little animations or sounds would play. It was basically a point-and-click game for young kids.
