Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is an adventure video game developed by Humongous Entertainment and published in 1993 for 3DO, MS-DOS, and Classic Mac OS. A Windows version followed in 1995. Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is the second game by Humongous Entertainment, following Putt-Putt Joins the Parade. It is the only Fatty Bear adventure, although the character was also used in the minigame compilations Fatty Bear's Fun Pack and the crossover spin-off Putt-Putt & Fatty Bear's Activity Pack. In July 2013, Tommo bought the Fatty Bear license for the Atari bankruptcy proceedings.
