Toonstruck

If you're not a die-hard fan of point'n'click genre and you didn't have this game back in the day as a child - just stay away. It is difficult not to appreciate an effort there such as a live footage of Christopher Lloyd incorporated, voices of Curry and Castellaneta and a lot of cartoon intermissions (not all of them of decent quality though), but but but. But in terms of gameplay Toonstruck is as random as a classic adventure game may go. First couple of hours are mostly OK, you know what you should do (even if you rarely understand what for you should it exactly), but later the game just throws some weird stuff once in a while, leaving you wondering what is going on. There are almost no puzzles per se and in my opinion the game at times even fails to provide correct hints (for example, for a books puzzle in a castle). So you just have to figure out how to combine items that are usually not combined even in cartoons. So, if you want to see the good sides of Toonstruck, feel free to watch them on YouTube. If you want to see bad sides, well, play the game! Technical note: I played this game on Deck. It is barely playable out of the box, but with some small tweaking it works just fine.

i love this game. if you grew up on old SCUMM engine games like i did. (putt-putt, spyfox, pink panther, ect) and you are looking for something above the 4-10 year old age bracket. then among sam and max hit the road and day of the tentacle and the like give this game a shot. if you like classic cartoon gags then your sure to crack a little smile here not to mention the voice cast will bring up some memories of classic cartoons. shame that it never did get a sequel though. like of the puzzles here are a bit tricky and will have trial and error but it only took me 2 or 3 trys to get it right so folks should have no problems.
