Micromachines, and I haven't played that many.

I almost forgot all about playing Toy Story game - that game was rather decent, and for a licensed game a pleasant surprise (not as spectacular as Aladdin though, that's one of the best licensed games out there).

Ooooh yeah! A definite must buy exclusive Dreamcast game. Under-rated game. The physics of flying and driving are very good with crazy levels and goals! Also very cool how you can drive that bazooka mounted jeep up the side of the kitchen wall.

There is also a not great but not bad either, obscure PAL Toy Racer release and the Christmas Special on the Dreamcast Magazine Disc.
I'll have to look into it then! Thanks!

As for Toy Story, the gameplay was quite basic but Traveler's Tales kept it varied throughout the whole game, and even though it filled a hefty 32-meg cart the game was quite a technical feat on the Megadrive. Some backdrops had impressive parallax (The fastfood restaurant for one) and the sprites had that faux-3D quality to them.

I'm not usually into racing games, but I played this on PC and it was a lot of fun.

Micromachines was a pretty good little racer.

If we were to include fictional toys, I like Chibi Robo quite a bit.

Ah yes it indeed counts. I've now replaced Toys in the list because it's crap and best forgotten :lol:

Even though I'm not big on platformers, I enjoyed Toy Bizarre on C64 back in the day.

Not sure of you were adding to my reply. Ahead apologies if I'm wrong.

Toy Commander is unrelated to Toy Story.
Nope, talking about the games based off the Pixar movie...
