Toonstruck

Post by MikeLJ »

I'm new to the forums, so I don't know if this game has been brought up in discussion before. For those of you who don't know it:

Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toonstruck
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUWBFk0erEs - the intro video. I think there's more showing gameplay.

I noticed that it wasn't on the Wiki page here at scummVM, so I suppose that compatibility isn't planned :(. This is really an unknown, underrated and almost forgotten point and click game.

I have never been able to run it on DOSBox but I re-played it a couple of years ago on an old Win95 computer and it was still as awesome as when I first played it! I recommend it to anyone who can get it to run.

I hope that the good people here at scummVM can at least add it to the wiki and consider it for future development. I've just been playing the first two Discworld games and I think that an equally good job could be done here and revive this game. I am a big fan of Discworld and always have been, but I think this game surpasses it so its worth giving it a shot!

We've got a search button for exactly that reason. Please read up on those old threads first.

One thing though: The issues with Smacker files has been resolved, we now do have a decoder within ScummVM.
