Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Bowling balls, water balloons, peanut-firing guns and radio-controlled cars are the arsenal in Toys, a game that takes the Robin Williams film's premise literally and turns a family toy factory into a battlefield. Leslie Zevo has to stop his uncle, the General, who has taken over the Zevo factory and plans to turn its whimsical playthings into war toys, and the only way to fight back is with toys of your own.

Each level starts you with a limited supply of toys, and more can be found as you push through the factory, so managing your ammunition matters. The General's forces are an army of personalized action figures with a seemingly endless supply of reinforcements, which gives the game the feel of a losing battle you have to win anyway. The finale draws straight from the film's playful spirit: you guide a toy plane through a scale model of Manhattan, trying not to run out of power before crashing it through the General's windows.

There is real pedigree behind it. Imagineering developed the game for Absolute Entertainment, with David Crane, the creator of Pitfall!, and Alex DeMeo serving as producers and designers. Reviews were harsh, however, and it has turned up on lists of the weakest movie games of its era, so it is better approached as a curiosity than as a hidden gem.

That curiosity is the appeal. Toys was a strange, dreamlike film, and this 1993 cartridge captures a slice of its toy-war imagery in a way no other game does. For collectors of early-nineties movie licenses, or anyone who remembers the film fondly, it is an odd and memorable piece of Super Nintendo history.
