Video Game / Big Fun in Furbyland

Dah Doo-ay!

Big Fun In Furbyland is a 1999 children's game for the PC starring the Furbies, owl-gremlins hybrids toys created by Tiger Electronics in 1998. The game is a collection of 4 minigames:

1. In the Clouds, where the player controls a flying Furby through some rather crowded skies where it must avoid hostile weather and obstacles while gobbling up food (without which he couldn't keep on flying).
2. Furby Fest, where the Furbies want togo on a Roller Coaster ride and the player has to place them in wagons carefully so all Furbies in the same wagon have at least one similar feature.
3. Club Furby, where the player must quickly press sequences of colored Disco balls to make the main Furby dance.
4. Furby to the Rescue, a Maze Game in which the player controls a Furby that has to rescue a lost baby Furby while avoiding a Giant Spider.

Also, the player creates a customizable Furby at the start of the game and can play with it inbetween the minigame sessions.
