Toy Story (トイ・ストーリー) is a Sega Mega Drive game based on the film with the same name developed by Traveller's Tales and Psygnosis and published by Sega. Similar versions were also released for the Game Boy, Super Nintendo and Windows PCs.

Gameplay

In most levels, the controls are simple and consistent: A and C jumps and B whips enemies, stunning them for a brief amount of time. Each level has a predefined objective which you usually must complete in a set amount of time.

Toy Story on the Mega Drive achieves several technical feats rarely seen on the console, the most notable being a stage played from a first-person perspective (using raycasting techniques similar to those found in Wolfenstein 3D). It also features a sound driver capable of playing Amiga MOD music files, which is used for the title screen and end credits and also breaks presumed colour limitations in the cutscenes through clever use of the console's shadow/highlight mode.
