Similar to one of the game mechanics in Sam & Max Hit the Road, Drew can pick up Flux and use him to help solve puzzles. I'm not quite sure what he is - kind of a short purple thing with glasses. Zanydu is also the home of Drew's cartoon sidekick and friend, Flux Wildly.įlux is a great companion - he's got just the right level of snark, humor, and toon sensibility. Between the two is the island of "Zanydu", a chaotic-neutral zone for the wacky and comedically violent toons. On the opposite side are the "Malevolands", for the dark and dangerous. I love the cartoon world that's been created! On the one side there's "Cutopia", land of all the happy and sugary-sweet characters. His only hope of escape relies on completing a quest to help the locals. When his boss (played by Ben Stein) demands even more rabbits, so he can keep milking the franchise as Fluffy & Friends, Drew despairs - only to find himself accidentally sucked into a cartoon world. The main character of Toonstruck is a burnt-out artist named Drew Blanc, played by Christopher Lloyd, who's been stuck animating The Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show for ten years. Otherwise they were able to pay well for its programming, animation and dialog, with (mostly) little executive interference. Some of this was wasted due to changing the engine during development. Virgin Interactive, who made the game, spent over $8 million on it. Officially it's rated 'T' (Teens) for "Comic mischief, Mild animated violence" - but there is some very adult humor you won't see coming. Originally conceived of in 1993 as a children's game, a decision was made to gear it towards adults instead.

Toony animal side-characters are everywhere. Toonstruck is a 1996 third-person point-and-click adventure game, still available on modern PCs! It's a celebration of cartoon humor, and you can tell a lot of love and effort went into making it. Your rating: None Average: 4.5 ( 4 votes)
