Toys

Toys is a video game in the action genre developed by Absolute Entertainment, Inc. and published by Absolute Entertainment, Inc. originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on Genesis.

Welcome to Zevo Toys, where whimsy and childlike innocence are the order of the day. Workers sing and dance as they make wonderful Toys in their mission to bring joy to children around the world. Unfortunately, Kenneth Zevo, the head of the company, is dying. Although he would like to leave the company in the hands of his son Leslie, he believes that Leslie has not yet learned to take life seriously and is not ready to run the company.

In a desperate gamble, he leaves his brother, the strict and humorless Lieutenant General Leland Zevo, in charge of the company. He knows his brother is unfit to run the company, but he also knows that his military methods and lack of a sense of humor and fantasy will spur Leslie to mature if he wants Zevo Toys to remain as it has always been.

Unfortunately, Kenneth's plan is working all too well: Leland is producing deadly weapons designed as Toys. Tanks, helicopters, dolls and balloons, among other things, have been designed with sinister and deadly intent. It's a disgrace to everything Zevo Toys stands for, and if Leslie wants to save the factory and her family's good name, she'll have to face her uncle head-on and fight toy with toy.

Toys is an isometric action game based on the 1992 surreal comedy/fantasy film of the same name starring Robin Williams, Joan Cusack and LL Cool J. As Leslie, you'll explore three areas of Zevo Toys (the West Bay factory area, the cafeteria and the warehouse) to take down General Zevo's elephant-headed security cameras. To do so, you'll need to take out each chamber's active defenders, such as jeeps, Hurly-Burly helicopters, Tommy tanks, deadly pogo bears, balloon bombs, and more. When the defenders in an area are clear, you will need to disable the camera. This is accomplished by blinding the camera's eyes with water from your trusty water gun, then spraying the lens until the camera is destroyed. Beware, camera movement will make things difficult, along with the camera-mounted laser if you take too long. . . .

The non-camera areas aren't safe either, with rope walking bombs, amorphous slime balloons, spiders and toy paratroopers backing up the defenders. Fortunately, your cousin Patrick will provide you with your own Toys to combat the General's army. These range from your trusty peanut gun to bowling balls and spinning tops, to custard tarts and water balloons, and much more.

Once you've destroyed all the cameras, you'll fly through a model of Manhattan via a giant toy airplane. Avoid the Hurly-Burly helicopters and keep the plane loaded using the giant cargo coils, and you'll reach the General's office and disable his plans.
