oftware titles

Though other characters from Humongous (such as Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish) continued to release on a fairly regular timescale, and new characters were introduced (e.g., Spy Fox), the Fatty Bear series was not continued after the first adventure.

* "Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise" (DOS, 3DO, (Macintosh) (1993) (Win95/98/Me) (2001) (remade)The scenario behind this game is that Kayla's birthday is coming up, the next day. They have not prepared for it, so Fatty Bear wakes up and, with the help of his friends, organizes a birthday surprise party. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as Fatty Bear thought- he had planned on only making a birthday cake, but in the kitchen was a mysterious wrapped package. If you click on it Fatty Bear opens it, but if you try to do the right thing and not click on it he opens it anyway and releases a small brown puppy who promptly runs away, tearing the ribbon on her box. Fatty Bear brings the ruined ribbon with him for no apparent reason until you find a better ribbon for the box. There is a bone in the refrigerator that you can use to lure the puppy where you want, but if you get the puppy in the box and don't have the ribbon, she will run away again. The puppy performs little acts of mischief such as stealing the chocolate chips for the birthday cake, running off with letters for the "Happy Birthday" sign, digging in the garden and getting all dirty, and popping balloons you blow up to decorate the room. Oddly enough, doors in Kayla's house automatically open for the puppy as well as Fatty Bear and several other objects dance around or do other things. Perhaps the highlight of the game is making and decorating the birthday cake for Kayla.

* Fatty Bear's FunPack (DOS, (Macintosh) (1993) In this single-player product, you play against Fatty Bear 3 board games (Reversi, Lines & Boxes, Tangrams) or the card game Go Fish, most with several difficulty levels. There's also an electronic coloring book with over 30 pages - interesting variation here is that players can mix their own colors and shades, which seemed to work pretty well.

* Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack (DOS, (Macintosh) (1993) (Win95/98/Me) (1995) (remade)This is a re-packing of two other titles: Fatty Bear's Funpack and Putt-Putt's Activity Pack, with a few updates and 2 or 3 new games.

These games are supported by ScummVM and can be played on additional platforms to those for which they were released.
