Bad Toys 3D is a non-violent FPS game for PCs running Microsoft Windows, published by Tibo Software in 1998.

Gameplay

There are 25 levels of play, of which 3 are included in the shareware version. The player explores rooms and opens doors with their mouse or keyboard, choosing weapons, collecting ammunition and shooting armed toys as they go. The player has three lives to start with. Games can be loaded and saved in progress. The game can be made into stereo sound and much larger formats on modern computers.

Enemies

  • A fast moving smiley-like enemy that uses only his fists in combat. They are the most common enemies in the game.
  • A floating purple fuzzy creature that attacks with a pistol.
  • A slow walking Soldier Toy that uses a rifle as its weapon.
  • A flying enemy with horns, a yellow and black striped body, and a mouth that allows him to shoot toxic bubbles your way.
  • An enemy with a spring for a body that possesses the powerful plasma gun. Unlike other enemies, he makes a lot of noise when moving because of his body design.
  • A large robot that takes seemingly endless shots to destroy. He possesses a stronger but slower plasma gun that cannot be picked up by your character. The only two robots in the game are found in the final level.

Audience

Uncommonly for its genre, Bad Toys 3D is designed to be child friendly. Instead of blood there are stars.

Objects in Bad Toys 3D

  • Health and Lives Powerups: First Aid kits (A First Aid Kit), Hamburgers (A Hamburger), Chips (A Bag of Chips), 8up (A Can of Soda Pop), and Lives (A Red Heart).
  • Keycards: There are 3 types of Keycards, 1 Green Stripe Keycard, 2 Yellow stripes Keycard, and a 3 Red Stripes Keycard
  • Weapons There are four ways the player can attack the bad toys. Key 1 gives you a Fist. All other keys need sufficient ammunition. Key 2 gives you a pistol (A Pistol), key 3 a DD7 (A Shotgun like Weapon) and key 4 an ELM500 (A Plasma gun), which only appears in later levels of the game. *There is more ammunition (and plasma guns) around the factory and going over some dead toys can give you more ammunition.
  • Tactics: The game can become monotonous if you are continually "killed" and keep having to start again so the game has a SAVE facility. If you do well on a level, press the ESCAPE button on your keyboard and use it to save where you are. Then if you are "killed" you can use the drop down menu to load the place you saved. That way you can avoid repetition in the game. You can continuously save on levels, assigning each save a new designation.

There are times when you have so many bad toys against you, you are not going to beat them and speed can work in this case, just ignoring them and getting beyond their range. You are often given a second or two before a toy attacks and blasting away at even the big monsters with a pistol can beat them. Press button "M" on your keyboard and a map of the area you have covered on that level comes up showing where you are (and if previously found) where doors are which fit the keys (they match the colour of the key that opens them). The toys normally warn you of an attack by a sound they make. You can quickly enter a door and instantly withdraw, so being warned if there is something on the other side. One annoying point about the game is that toys can almost shoot around corners. However this works in your favour as well in that as soon as you see the edge of a toy, start blasting away.

  • Beating level 25 There is only one key (No.3) You face an almost unbeatable robot monster. You have to decoy it into the opposite room and from a sharp angle outside (where it will stay where it is) empty a "99" load of your plasma gun into it then 15 or more rifle shots. When dead go over it to get key 3.
