His channel is brilliant and it almost got derailed by activists

Disney IP was the exception to the rule, and you had some developers do good things with movie based IPs, but most were generally poor as they had to meet deadlines in a world of difficult approval processes.

glad you covered toy story! having played through both the genesis and the SNES versions, i've always felt like this game deserves more love these days than it gets, despite its flaws. what would be really cool, i think, would be if someone were to make a "definitive" updated version of the game with all of the levels / cut-scene images / bonus levels of the genesis version plus the superior colors and soundtrack of the SNES version, and add back in the password system (or just add unlimited lives) and maybe toss in some quality-of-life tweaks to the controls as well.
@mr.pendleton7121
@mr.pendleton7121 7 ай бұрын
There's a level skip code in all regional releases of the Genesis/Mega Drive version that can be entered from the game's title screen (you spell ABRACADABRA using the buttons on the controller), thus mitigating the need for the password system in the PAL release. In fact, I'd say it works better than the password system because you only ever get passwords for every 4 levels in the PAL version, meanwhile the level skip cheat can be used at any point to return to whatever level you last died on. I would argue though that given the game's simplicity and relatively short length, it kind of feels like it was designed around the lack of a password system. The primary challenge being to see how far you can get without losing all your lives. Sort of like an old arcade game.

This is one of my favorite Mega Drive games that seems to get overlooked. It's a little more punishing than other games, especially due to Woody's size. It's pretty learnable though if you stick with it, and the level skip cheat makes the difficulty spikes much more tolerable. EDIT: And if you give yourself extra lives in the option menu. It's slightly hidden.

Fun fact: The Buzz nightmare fight was actually based on a deleted scene from Toy Story that didn't make the cut in its final release; when Woody was put in the toy chest while Andy slept with his Buzz toy when he was first introduced. Guess John Lasseter and others thought the nightmare scene would have been a bit too thick(too much) to leave in a family friendly film at the time.

2D games were more of a cartridge thing than a 16-bit vs 32-bit thing. A 32Mbit (4MB) cart can randomly access all of its sprite data independently of working RAM (system) The Saturn has 2MB of work RAM and 1.5MB of VRAM that have to also hold everything else necessary to function, so sprite data is actually much more limited than on a 16-bit console, and every time you need to move new data into that space it has to be painstakingly loaded at 2X CDROM speeds with terrible access times, which pretty much means you only load one scene at a time with a narrow amount of content. They had a memory expansion cartridge that greatly helped 2D sprite style art games to run, but addons like that create an even smaller user base that less developers will see as profitable to design for. But there are like a million games that came out in Japan. The Saturn botch was a Sega of America blunder.

Adore this game. Sadly my copy was the non password version. So I suffered, a lot.

I NEVER played this game, so I'm guessing that it came at the end of the Genesis life-cycle. By 96, I had already moved on to the N64 so I never got a chance to play this. But I'll definitely emulate it on PC now since I know physical copies of most retro games are costly nowadays and emulation is the way to go.

I'm really glad you decided to spotlight this one. If I was going to suggest some games to someone new to collecting to the Genesis that HAVEN'T been anthologized to death and that DON'T cost an arm and a leg, "Toy Story" and "True Lies" would be at the very top of the list. Also, on the password system situation, it is true that the NA version is missing that, but it did include some cheat codes that made returning to later levels relatively easy. For me personally, I both loved and didn't love this game's variety -- the driving stages were a pain and a half, even if I did find them graphically impressive. As always, kudos on the thorough and balanced review!

Because of a piece in a past issue of Retro Gamer, I finally added this to my collection. The game did more tricks than the SNES version. Travellers Tales were wizards for the Mega Drive

the fact that the sega Genesis had the ability to display these kind of graphics i dont think ppl appreciate the fact that genesis came out in 1989 as an answer to the NES that is a huge jump....look at Mario bros on nes.... then look at this game

I remember Disneyland turned their Innovations building into a Toy Story experience to hype up the movie. They had Sega Genesis kiosks with the game. I had more going with that than the actual rides at the park

I had the SNES version. Naturally it didn't look as good, but had *slightly* better sound. Still up there as one of my favorite games, like many other Traveller's Tales + Psygnosis titles like Leander (aka Galahad) Mr Burton runs a channel called GameHut in which he goes over the Claw Machine level among others and it's pretty interesting. Definitely worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the TT Mickey Games or Sonic 3D Blast. And I won't poke fun at you for using invincibility. Beats having to do the first RC level again.

That's because the SNES version was just a port. It was designed for the Genesis/Mega-Drive in mind back then. And it would've cost TT and Psygnosis more money to even try and make a Toy Story game from scratch on SNES.

I still have the cartridge from my childhood. The game was fucking hard but I also had the PC version which had a save feature. Also, the region lockout message is also written in the Magic Etch-A-Sketch!
