Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise

my childhood is now completed

I never grew up with this one, so I don't have any sugar coating nostalgia bias to give it. I think it is a bit clunky and slow but overall it still has that Humongous Entertainment charm to it, not a bad game by any stretch of the word. For other HE fans, I think they at least have to try it

It brought back many childhood memories, and it's also very useful for those who are learning English. A short but cute story, I recommend.

This is a weird one. Putt-Putt is a car in a world of cars. Freddi Fish is a talking fish beneath the sea, in a world also inhabited by Humans. However, Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise contains children's toys coming to life, in what can only be described as an ordinary, modern setting. It directly shows Humans, which is unusual for Humongous games. This is a surprisingly rude game too, compared to the then contemporary Putt-Putt games 'Putt-Putt Joins the Parade' and 'Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon'. I mean this in terms of the puzzles. For instance, to get to the basement you have to interact not once but twice with a chute in the bathroom. There are letters you need to collect, but they can be scattered in some pretty ridiculous spots, AND they can be located in places you've already looked, which I think is probably a no-no, since it makes it more confusing, especially considering the logic of their placement is just non-existent (they can be found inside a fish tank, or inside the fridge for example.) The piano minigame stands out as a kind of surprisingly advanced thing, it's sort of like a very primitive Mario Paint where you can basically compose music for the game to play back to you. I think it would have been nice too if you could also maybe even learn to play piano, by it showing you what the notes for the keys are and such, but that might have been too much. It's cute enough that you can make the game play various little tunes and compose your own for it to play for you - though I pity any adult forced to endure some of the awful sounds this game can make, since you can set the piano to playback in a variety of very annoying sounds including a 'hammer drop' sound effect. Also, Putt-Putt's dog Pep is inexplicably in this game? I mean, this dog also has a big spot on his back, so maybe that's meant to be the decisive difference between them, but I think if you're a child or just anyone sensible, you'll look at both of these pixelated brown dogs and say, hey, that's the same one. Maybe they had trouble coming up with a different design that looked friendly and cute, and just decided to reuse this one. There's WAY more objectives than in any of the other games that I've played, but most of the things you need to look for in this game, you just find in the kitchen, you just open the cupboards and the fridge and you click on things. The location of the sugar seems like the one concession to making this a normal 90s point and click adventure game, because it's in a weird place unlike everything else which is kind of just right there where you need it. There's the letters too, in the sense that they really have no reason to be found where you find them. I think this game is surprisingly ugly too? Both of the first Putt-Putt games look much nicer than this one. I think it might be because of the weird decor of the house, and the lack of variety there is sort of disappointing, and unpleasant. This is not a terrible game, but it's on the lower end of things, so maybe go check out some of the Putt-Putt games or the Freddi Fish games instead. I still would recommend it, but only barely.

Although I think it is way too overpriced, it is still a charming little kids game.
