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!

zeffyr: I believe it's perceived as a 'cult' game, am I right? I heard many about it, but never managed to actually play it.
It has over 2,000 votes on the wishlist so I guess it's not that cult-ish :D

Klumpen0815: Yes!

My favourite Point'n'Click-Adventure right after Broken Sword 1.
Glad to see all the languages included.

I finished the first Toonstruck many times but never played the second one, is it coming too?
Quote from Mobygames:

Virgin never quite recovered from Toonstruck. The cost to produce all that animation (and hire the top voice talent) was enormous, and the game was a commercial flop. This is probably the reason why the sequel, which set up at the game's ending, was never made.

tfishell: Depends what people want, yo.
Mostly it's just old games, judging from what I see when we release an indie or a movie :P

Experiment513: To think of it, what are the 'rejection' criteria btw? I'm trying to poke around a bit but of course I wouldn't like it if everything works out and GOG rejects it... :-P
Depends on the game, really, as there's no singular factor that determines whether a game would be a good fit in our catalogue :)

tfishell: People want old games on a site once known as Good Old Games - shocker! ;-)

Seriously though, I think you can agree that the number of voices like that has dwindled significantly, especially with the crazy LucasArts releases. (I seem to recall a bit of dry spell during the summer but I assume that's par for the course.) And bringing well-received indie games like World of Goo or Sunless Sea shouldn't garner too many negative posts.
Dude, I know :) I was just having some fun with the community although it's hard to tell with simply text :)

Luned: Totally unexpected and completely awesome.

Erich_Zann: Nail, meet head.
Killer release indeed.

Erich_Zann: Deal. You just got yourself one week respite to get Warlords 2 + 3 & the complete SSI catalogue.
Who is SSI?









:P

Experiment513: So, just being old isn't a good qualification? :-P
Nope, it has to be GOOD too :)


(Yes, I know we have some that are....questionable, at best, but they have their place or they are part of a series for the completionists :P)

vicklemos: For some (or many?!), your "for a while" lasts like, 2 days max :P
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
