Adventure gaming meets Roger Rabbit.

Toonstruck, the adventure game take on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, is now available DRM-free for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com!

You're Drew Blanc (Christopher Lloyd) - you're an artist, the cartoon kind. But you're also kind of at your wits' end. Your inspiration is gone and you've unfortunately been living up to your name, that's until something-or-other causes you to get sucked into a cartoon world in need of a champion. Toonstruck is a classic point and click adventure with the spirit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's real-world footage in a finely animated, saturday-morning cartoon universe that gets a bit too silly - a little too grown-up, a little dangerous.

Get pulled straight into an adventure across a beautifully animated cartoon world, Toonstruck is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Never played this, but definitely getting it soon. It looks all kinds of awesome.

Awesome! I actually only ever got to play the first half of that game. Got it originally through a mixed game selection of a Topware bundle on multiple CDs in the late '90s. Unfortunately, there must have been a manufacturing error as the second CD needed was a duplicate of a different one in the bundle. Never did manage to get that replacement from Topware. =/ Anyway, what I do remember of it was that it was pure awesome! Our CD-ROM drive was actually just barely able to keep up with the cutscenes with a slight stutter; ah, nostalgia for when different CD-ROM speeds were a thing and still mattered. Heh.

That ramble aside, consider it bought! I shall simply call it a belated (by a week) birthday present from GOG. :)

yyahoo: Dang, if we could get some more Virgin games... I'd love to play Hyper 3D Pinball again...
Now that brings back memories. Played the shit out of that game back in the day - though I knew it as TILT! which I think is a much better title. Unfortunately, it didn't age very well, particularly where the ball physics are concerned. I actually got my hands on a copy a few years back and with a bit of work got it running in DOSBox... anyway, that ball movement felt really weird. It has nothing on something like say the Pro Pinball series or even newer pinball titles like Zen Pinball or The Pinball Arcade. Hell, I even find ye olde 2D-scrolling pinball games to be more fun to play.

So yeah, it was pretty nifty and fun around the time it came out, but it's not quite up to snuff anymore.

Speaking of old pinball games, WHY U NO HAVE PSYCHO PINBALL, GOG?!? I mean, we do have Codemasters games in the catalog, and as far as I'm aware they have always owned the rights to it. Now that one was pretty much the pinnacle of 2D pinball games as far as I'm concerned. Yes, I'd say I value it even above the much lauded Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions series of games. Yup, I sure loved Psycho Pinball. I guess I shall go on a quick sail on the digital seas for that one. ;)

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!

One of my favourite adventure games ever! I was so sure that it's stuck in legal limbo. EXTREMELY happy about this one!

Edit: Wow, and German VA included. VERY nice! I always really loved the German voices on this one.

Oh it is. I don't know how badly its sense of humour may have aged but back in the day it was like the most hilarious game ever. And it really has an impressive overall quality.

Wow, why haven't I heard of this game before. It looks and sounds amazing, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite movies from childhood. An adventure game with subversive humor and with the awesome Chris Lloyd, definitely a must play. Thanks for another great adventure game release GOG, after all the Star Wars *ahem* love recently without any Lucasfilm classic PnC games. :)

That's funny, because after playing Pro and Zen pinball, I always thought that they weren't up to the feel of Hyper 3D/Tilt... To each their own. I've still got a physical copy of it somewhere. Were there any specific settings that you needed to get it working in DOSBox?

I think it had more to do with me figuring out how to copy the entire CD onto my HDD and have DOSBox use that folder as a virtual drive. I usually don't mess around much with DB.

Also, memories have that funny habit of distorting things for the better, hence: nostalgia.

True that, which is why I'm curious to see if I can get it up and running. I'm also downloading the Pro-Pinball series here on GOG. I'll have myself a PC pinball showdown...

I was going to write 2 days max myself but I wasn't sure about the grammar as the Polish language is getting to me a bit and mixing things up with the English language :D

My drive-by impression was that pricing this at $9.99 USD seemed abnormal given the store's policies on mid-'90s releases, but I'm greatly satisfied that Virgin Interactive's catalogue might be in the hands of a willing distributor. Besides, the game will be supported much better through GOG than anyone, and Interplay will no doubt put it on sale come fall and winter.

Oh sweet mother of....I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. Honest to whatever, there are fewer than five games I would jump off a cilff to own and this one is #2. Thank god the price isn't "You can't have this until you jump off a cliff."

I remember watching your ultra-fabulous Gogtastic Din's Curse twitch and you sayin' "GAAAWD can't even say the word right".
Poor you, caught in between worlds!
But hey, at least you're not in Hungary, right? :P
