80% of you maybe have never heard of this game, but since you're fans of the BTTF adventure games, there's more chance that you would be interested in this than say, members on a car-racing game forum :)
Toonstruck is also an adventure game like the current TellTale titles (of which I've played W&G and BTTF), but it's much older, much longer, and features plenty more puzzles.
The main character coincidentally is Christopher Lloyd, who draws characters for a children's TV show. The short story is that he get's sucked into the animated world that he created, and the only way to get back home to the real world is to succeed in a mission you are given.
The game was released in the mid 1990's, ran on DOS (there was also a Win95 autorun program), and used 2 CDs (quite amazing when you think most other games at the time came on 1.44mb floppy disks). It would take you quite a number of hours to complete the game as well, even longer if you struggled with what you had to do (back then we didn't have the Internet with walkthroughs). ;)
If I knew where the CDs were in my house (lost them) I'd probably be installing it now - although I'm guessing there are other ways around that problem. the DOSBox emulator would probably be needed to run it.
The good news is that some have recorded pretty much all of it and uploaded to YouTube. You can check it out here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6mM5BZLvbo&feature=player_embedded) if you're interested. If you can suffer through the more chidlish scenes it's a great game.
The question I have though, is how many of you have heard of or played this game before?
