Later in its career, Humongous Entertainment began to produce games for the 5-10 crowd, with titles such as '' Spy Fox '' and '' Backyard Baseball '', the latter which was arguably their most popular game, and produced sequels such as '' Backyard Soccer '' and '' Backyard Hockey ''. The series eventually grew to be known as the '' Backyard Sports '' series, and its eventual hook became the addition of Professional Athlete s as children to be playable in the games. Unlike its other titles, the ''Backyard Sports'' series became available for most Sixth Generation systems ( GCN , PS2 , Xbox , and GBA ). Also Humongous Entertainment released several games featuring Big Thinkers and Blue's Clues characters. In July 1996 , Humongous Entertainment was bought by GT Interactive for 76 million, producing a couple of additional titles to its existing franchises, although these titles did not have the notable increases in effort, such as the multiple endings or differentiating clues to obtaining what one desired. GT Interactive was first renamed to Infogrames, Inc. after Infogrames Entertainment SA bought them in November 1999 and was later renamed again to Atari, Inc. Finally, Atari laid off most people from its subsidiary Humongous Entertainment and closed it shortly afterwards in mid 2005 . External links
