Arthur's Birthday (game)
Arthur's Birthday is a computer game that is part of the Living Books series. It is based of of the book Arthur's Birthday. This game was first released in 1994.
Gameplay
Like most Living Books games, the narrator reads the story out loud and the player can play mini-games to get clues about the the book. In this one you have to get clues about each present. D.W keeps track of your clues throughout the game. Also, if you click objects in the background, they will make an animation.(e.g a firecracker) Despite the fact that the mini-games gives you clues, the "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" does not.
D.W is the main guide and tracks your clues throughout the game.

Trivia
- Unlike Arthur's Teacher Trouble, the characters appearances and voices are similar to what they look like in the TV series even though it was made before the TV show. However the TV series must of been planned.
- Muffy was shown for the first time without buck teeth in this game, although she had them in the book this game is based upon. Her removal of buck teeth had not been an official change until during the middle of Season 1 of the cartoon show, which led to the idea of removing those teeth in the books as well.
- The second page is Mr. Marco's classroom. Binky is in that classroom as well as in the book, although he's Mr. Ratburn's student in that timeframe.
- On the third page, Binky and Prunella are in the same classroom with the rest of the kids, although Binky and Prunella are Mr. Ratburn's students, while the rest are Mr. Marco's students. However, Mr. Ratburn was removed in contrast to the book.
