Fatty Bear has my family held hostage. I have to play this game for another 37 years before they're released

We need more games where everything you click on does something. I just wish I could save Mr Cabbage and carry him around like Wilson.

This is the second stop on my Nostalgia Tour...
This is the only proper Fatty Bear game in the Humongous Entertainment catalog, and I ended up missing it in my youth. Still, there was a nostalgia trip since it shares a lot of the same sounds and features that you can find in a number of their other titles. This game I'm sure would still be a big hit with kids to this day, and it is something that adults can still enjoy. It's got its own charm and silliness along with a few mini-games. There's even a functional piano. It is actually genuinely a cool little feature since you can essentially write some music with it, which is something really great to introduce to the target audience of this game. It's very creative and fun.
As much as this is a good little game, I can see why Fatty Bear didn't take off as much as the other mascots. Fatty Bear is a perfectly fine protagonist, but he's just not as iconic as the others. Still, I remember many easter eggs of him throughout the rest of H.E.'s games and now look forward to seeing how many I can spot on this return journey. Speaking of easter eggs, there is actually actually one in this game that directly teases the next main game, which Fatty Bear comments. That's neat!
...but also, his comments did make some interesting implications. Also, what is going on in this game, really? Ok, these are spoilers now, but...do the family know that Fatty Bear and company come to life at night? If not, how do they think all of these things are put together by the next morning? The dad didn't set up all of that stuff. How did he think it got there? Also, did he really put a dog in a wrapped box and just leave it in the kitchen? That doesn't seem right...Also, is that supposed to be the old school, original Pep? Is that why Fatty Bear says he's friends with Putt-Putt? Also, why is he named "Fatty Bear" anyways?...You know, these and other sorts of questions coupled with everything happening at night when everyone is asleep does leave a little bit of a curious, weird energy about the game. It's very quirky, and I found it all kind of funny probably not in the intended ways.
Ok, final thoughts...I think you should definitely buy the Humongous Entertainment Complete Pack, which this game is included in. I don't know that I would go out of my way to buy this game on its own, which is probably part of the reason I never had it as a kid. Still, it is a worthwhile little adventure that gave me a few laughs even if some of it was just at the absurdity of it all.
So, yes, I recommend picking this in the Humongous Entertainment Complete Pack and ideally on sale.

My kids love all of the Humongous Entertainment games.
They don't make fun/educational kids games like this anymore.
If you have young kids they are sure to love these games.

I tried to leave a negative review but Fatty broke down my door and started shoving birthday cake down my throat.
He won't stop when will this nightmare end

Summary
A short point and click educational game meant for children.
Pros
+ Fun
+ Perfect for kids
Cons
- Outdated
Overview
Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is a short cute point & click educational game meant for younger kids developed way back in the day and could be a fun little nostalgic romp for some.
It is a very interactive game where almost anything you click will have something happen and definitely captivate the younger audience. At this point there will likely be some things that kids will ask about as there are old technology and concepts that no longer apply in our current modern world.
Although there is a main objective to complete the game has no time limits and kids can explore and figure things out at their own leisure while also playing mini games and learning.
Definitely a good option for young kids to spend hours of fun on.
