-It's still early days in ''Bear Fun Show''; the design is way over on the simple end of things, as it would be for an early effort. The levels are filled with enemies unavoidably drawn to the character's position -- anthropomorphized watermelons, boxing gloves, and red birds. To replenish the inevitable loss of hit points, there is dog food. Bear can bark, to little effect, or with the collection of 3D glasses can shoot Alan's lasers. More interesting are the environmental details, like the electrical outlets that occasionally zap Bear as he passes and the occasional background elements that Bear can jump up onto, like dressers and stumps.

-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''.
