Fatty Bear is a fictional teddy bear from game developer Humongous. Fatty Bear starred in a children's adventure game, (Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise), as well as appearing in a solo activity pack (Funpack) and an activity game alongside another Humongous character named Putt-Putt. Like other Humongous games, his starring game is intended to teach problem solving. Fatty Bear wears red overalls and comes to life when everyone else is asleep.
In his adventure game, Fatty Bear's owner – Kaila – has a birthday in the morning. With the player's help, Fatty Bear needs to get everything ready for the big day (activities include wrapping the gift, baking the cake, etc.).
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.
The scenario t of the game is making and decorating the birthday cake for Kaila.
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.
This is a re-packing of two other titles: Fatty Bear's Funpack and Putt-Putt's Activity Pack, with a few updates and 5 new games with Putt-Putt.
These games are supported by ScummVM and can be played on additional platforms to those for which they were released.
