1985 Activision (UK)

This game brings back some strange mixed feelings. Probably because of the game's athmosphere and even the game's name.
Never spent much time playing it but always came back for more.
It also reminds me a bit 'Mr Wongs Loopy Laundry' athmosphere and graphic style.
Your job as Merton, the Maintenance Man, is to turn off the 4 valves of balloons at the bottom of each level.
The game is a bit confusing, and the programming a bit messy. Jumps are hard to execute and sometimes you get stuck in some levels while time slips away.
A shame because when I hear the name 'Toy Bizarre' it still rings a bell.
Single screen platform, placed in a toy factory gone mad, in which you have to stop the engines, or whatever, to prevent lethal mad toys to be built, while you're chased by a doll named Hilda. It's playable, and not even remotely addictive.
