Toy Shop Boys for PCE

Toy Shop Boys

I got your toys, I'll get you all next!! No Gamma! You never!


Genre: shooter - vertical

Publisher: Victor

Year: 1990

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Competent controls and weapons. You have three weapons that can be toggled between anytime - spread, homing, and a rotating laser sword. The other weapons act as options on either side. Powerups are plentiful, but weapons can only be upgraded a couple of times which upgrades all three. There are four speed settings which can be up or downgraded via collectables. Kinda weird, but fine.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Poor stage design, but I think that's because of the intended audience. These devs thought kids were terrible at shooters because this is the most brain-dead shooter I've played. Just switch to homing, turn on turbo, and sit at the bottom of the screen because enemies never come from behind. Boring


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

You're three flying kids shooting toys like RC cars, robots, Legos, and die cast airplanes. Dorky


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Underwhelming graphics. The sprites are ok but everything else in this Toy Story-esque world is unappealing.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Ok music, but terrible, whispy sound effects.


Overall Score: 49

Review ID: 8143
