Fatty Bear's Fun Pack (MS-DOS) Walkthrough

- Well, I did it. I actually did it. I finally found a copy of this game. A game so rare I was genuinely convinced it didn't exist for a time. There is absolutely nothing to describe how hard this game is to find...well, if you're looking for it on computers, anyway.
For reasons I will never be able to understand, this game is excruciatingly hard to find. In the last decade (!!!) that I have eyed eBay, I have only seen copies of the PC version pop up a total of three times. Yes, three. If you want the 3DO version, it's no slouch either, but is significantly simpler to run across. Go for the computer version though, and you're in for a rough time. Why this is the case, I have absolutely no clue -- Putt-Putt's Fun Pack is ludicrously easy to find by comparison. So when a decently priced copy showed up on eBay a week or two ago, you better believe I immediately lunged at the chance to grab it.
And...it all is a timeless tale of how rare =/= remarkable. If you already played Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack, you've already played this game. This is a compilation of 5 minigames, which all later got repackaged as part of the aforementioned game. There are two main differences -- the main menu is different, and instead of using Putt-Putt Joins the Parade's soundtrack, this uses Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise's soundtrack. That takes quite a bit of getting used to, given the two scores have pretty different moods. Aside from that, the coloring game has one extra picture to color that isn't included in The Activity Pack. I have no clue what prompted them to make that one small change considering it wasn't even close to using the whole space on the disc, but it is what it is.
So yeah, I'm not even sure if I need to comment beyond that. I did make sure to actually win Reversi this time, and once you figure out the strategy, it isn't too hard. Just know I agonize a lot over what spaces to use. I also played Go Fish on Medium this time, specifically because it employs an extra rule that isn't used on Hard or Hardest -- if you draw the card you guessed, you get to go again. This accounts for two extra lines of dialogue you wouldn't otherwise get to hear. Yeah, I know that made winning a foregone conclusion, but to my knowledge this tidbit has never been shown so I wanted to do it.
Other than that...geez, is there really anything else to say? I am absolutely in awe I actually have a real copy of this game now, and I can't believe it's taken more than ten years for it to happen. But like I said, that doesn't at all mean the game is anything to give a closer look at.
Hope you enjoy the video! - Ігри
I'm shocked you finally found a copy after all this time. I imagine it's pretty cool to finally have this obscure oddity in your hands.
Brilliant job, and congrats on finding and purchasing this version of this game! It's surprising that the Panasonic 3DO version is not as rare as this MS-DOS version. Heck, I didn't have any desire to purchase it at all anyway since I already have this game's activities in "Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack" for MS-DOS and Windows.
I dunno if it's that surprising... I'm sure the 3DO version had a lot of unsold copy knowing how unpopular that console was!
I know.🙂
I did not know these were seperate games originally.
I also found it interesting how Fatty Bear mever had another game. I wonder why that is
Several Humongous alums have reported that having "fatty" in his name was controversial, spelling an early death knell for his series.
@Atharizz Delpiero Because this channel isn't about 2020 games.
Fun fact: I have a life that happens when I'm not on UA-cam. Funny concept, isn't it?

17:32 I have a set of... Palm trees.
"Game is FUN"
Pretty cool! At least Fatty Bear visually shows some emotion in the "Go Fish" part of the game, compared to in "Birthday Surprise." ("Hey, you can't take my chocolate chips.")
Lol I think I played this game in school when I was way younger lol lucky me
Fascinating
How do you record on such an old computer? I always find that super interesting. I played this game in 2000 as a kid with Putt Put even though it was old at that time but was still.
Which computer was you playing this game on? 🙂
My Pentium 1 desktop. It's the most commonly used computer for my videos!
Do you sometimes use your 486 PC and does it’s original hard drive still work? True or False
@@ThomasWoolum Yes and yes. Sparky's Tangled Tales and Kid Pix Studio were both recorded on it.
Is there also an CD version of that game?
Yes, this is actually the CD version. The floppy version is even harder to find.
@@MrEightThreeOne Is there also an Windows version of that game like Putt-Putt Joins The Parade, Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise and Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack?
@@aldwinpanny10 Nope. The Activity Pack came out before those were a thing so doing Windows ports of this and Putt-Putt's Fun Pack would have been redundant.
@@MrEightThreeOne Also, Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack is also the last Humongous Entertainment Game to be DOS and Freddi Fish and the Case of Missing Kelp Seeds is the first Humongous Entertainment Game that was made by hand draw graphics animation.
