Toonstruck is an adventure game developed by Burst Studios, published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment and released in 1996 for DOS.In the game, a live-action protagonist Drew Blanc, played and voiced by Christopher Lloyd, is transported into the cartoon world he created while suffering from a creative block.Blanc is accompanied by his animated sidekick Flux Wildly, voiced by Dan Castellanata. Toonstruck is an adventure game released in 1996 in which, although all the imagery is drawn and scanned into the game, the protagonist Drew Blanc (played and voiced by Christopher Lloyd) is an actual video-captured representation of the actor (the name is a pun, since the character has 'drawn a blank' on coming up with a new idea for a character).). Drew's sidekick, crudely named Flux Wildly.

Running a Game from the ScummVM Launcher

Make sure the desired game is selected on ScummVM's list and press 'Start'. You can also press 'Load' to restart the game from a previously saved state.

Running ScummVM from the command line

As well as starting your ScummVM games using the graphical Launcher, you can also start them from the command line. The simplest way to run a game from the command line is to type, for example:

Note this command is dependent on your system. You may have to specify exactly where ScummVM is installed to, for example in Windows:

Or in Unix:

The short game name you see at the end of the command line ('samnmax' in this case) specifies which game is started. It either corresponds to a user-defined target (i.e. one that has been added using the Launcher: this is the case in the example above), or to a built-in gameid. A brief list of the latter can be found in the supported games section.

There are many different options that can be specified to make ScummVM run the game just the way you want, and these are listed in the table below. The meaning of most long options (that is, those options starting with adouble-dash) can be inverted by prefixing them with 'no-'. For example,'--no-aspect-ratio' will turn aspect ratio correction off. This is usefulif you want to override a setting in the configuration file.

Command line options

The list below contains only the most useful options. A list of all the ScummVM command line options is available in Appendix.

ScummVM Hotkeys for all games

ScummVM supports various in-game hotkeys. The table below summarizes the hotkeys common to all games. Hotkeys specific to a game are listed in the Game specific instructions section.

Note for Mac users: To use Function keys as function keys, e.g. F5, you may need to use the 'fn' key in addition to the function key, e.g. fn+F5. (Alternatively you can change the default behavior of these keys in the System Preferences).

Controls

Personal Computers

These instructions concern any computer that has a keyboard and a mouse (e.g. running Windows, Mac OS, Linux). As for most applications running on computers, you will need the mouse and the keyboard to control ScummVM and the games. When you are in the Launcher you can configure ScummVM and games as well as start games, all with the mouse. When running a game there are a number of hotkeys to which ScummVM will respond (e.g. to save a game, take a snapshot, quit ScummVM).

The games supported by ScummVM are point-and-click games. This means that you need to use the mouse to control them. In some of the games (e.g. the older AGI games) you may also need to use the keyboard to type actions to perform (e.g. 'look door'). The exact controls for each game depend on the game. For example, in most LucasArts games you can click on a verb to perform an action or use a shortcut (e.g. press ‘t’ for talk), but the Curse of Monkey Island has a different control system from the other games. Usually you can find the instructions on how to control a specific game in the manual that came with it.

Mapping for other devices

See Appendix: Controls.

Copy protection

The ScummVM team does not condone piracy. However, there are caseswhere the game companies (such as LucasArts) themselves bundled'cracked' executables with their games -- in these cases the datafiles still contain the copy protection scripts, but the interpreterbypasses them (similar to what an illegally cracked version might do,only that here the producer of the game did it). There is no way forus to tell the difference between legitimate and pirated data files,so for the games where we know that a cracked version of the originalinterpreter was sold at some point, ScummVM will always have to bypassthe copy protection.

In some cases ScummVM will still show the copy protection screen. Tryentering any answer. Chances are that it will work.

ScummVM will skip copy protection in the following games:

• Maniac Mansion
• Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
• Loom (EGA)
• The Secret of Monkey Island (VGA)
• Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
• Lure of the Temptress

• Beneath a Steel Sky

  bypassed with kind permission from Revolution Software.

• Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb (Floppy version)

  bypassed with kind permission from Wyrmkeep Entertainment, since it was bypassed in all CD releases of the game.

• Simon the Sorcerer 1 (Floppy version)
• Simon the Sorcerer 2 (Floppy version)

  bypassed with kind permission from Adventure Soft, since it was bypassed in all CD releases of the game.

LucasArts Games (SCUMM Engine)

Hotkeys

ScummVM in-game menu

This is the menu that you get by pressing F5 in the LucasArts games. It replaces the original menu present in some of the games. You can still access the original menu using Alt-F5 and you can save and load games using this, however it is not intended for this purpose, and may even crash ScummVM in some games.

This menu can be used to load and save games as well as change the game settings (e.g. music volume).

A more detailed description of this menu is available on the ScummVM Interface page.

Day of the Tentacle: Maniac Mansion Easter Egg

At one point in the game, you come across a computer that allows you to play the original Maniac Mansion as an easter egg. ScummVM supports this, with a few caveats:

• ScummVM will scan your configuration file for a game that's in a 'Maniac' sub-folder of your Day of the Tentacle folder. If you've copied the data files from the CD version, this should already be the case but you have to add the game to ScummVM as well.
• To return to Day of the Tentacle, press F5 and select 'Return to Launcher'.
• This means that you could in theory use any game as the easter egg. Indeed, there is a 'secret' configuration setting, 'easter_egg', to override the ID of the game to run. Be aware, though, that not all games support returning to the launcher, and setting it up to use Day of the Tentacle itself as the easter egg game is not recommended.

Description of Toonstruck

A great but overlooked cartoon adventure, Toonstruck is a modern-day Who Framed Roger Rabbit? story where a likable cartoonist (played convincingly by Christopher Lloyd) gets trapped into a cartoon world of his creation and must restore (relative) order before he can get home.

Great voice acting, fun puzzles that do make (zany cartoon) sense once solved, and charming antics round off this excellent underdog. Too bad the slated sequel never came out.
