FULL ENTRY COMING SOON!
Bear Fun Show is a spin-off from Alan B-Day, starring the sprite from that game of Adam's "fierce attack dog," Mr. Bear. The game follows the same rough structure as its forebear (as it were) -- two short levels where you walk to the right across the width of the map, shoot or avoid random creatures, hop up on the occasional background element -- and most of its resources are recycled from Alan B-Day. It uses the same background elements, sprites, and items.
This game is a little more refined that Alan B-Day, with some new interior backgrounds and more in-jokes and references to Adam Tyner's life in 1994. The anaglyphic 3D glasses from Alan B-Day are back. Then there's the TV set to WCTP 36, a UHF-broadcast station viewable in south Georgia and Florida's Big Bend. These days it's a CBS affiliate; at the time of the game's design, it seems to have been the local ABC station. Shows broadcast at that time on WCTP would have included My So-Called Life, Lois & Clark, NYPD Blue, Home Improvement, Grace Under Fire, Roseanne, Ellen, Matlock, The Commish, and Boy Meets World.
Some nice background elements that you can jump on, like dressers and stumps.
and dog food.
Avoid anthropomorphized watermelons, boxing gloves, electrical outlets, red birds. Bark or shoot lasers.
One of those games with unavoidable enemies drawn to the character's location. Namely, the watermelons.
The available version of this game is missing some component files.
