EDIT: Wow, I'm actually quite impressed how few are aware that this version of the game sucks. Seems like a lot of people know this version exists but very few have actually played it. That's just as well, considering it works on virtually no modern emulator (aside from PCem which is a pain in the rear to get working right).
Because I needed to upload something, right?
This is some old footage I had recorded forever ago, a bit of an abandoned project. So, for those of you who don't know, this is based on the SNES and Sega Genesis Toy Story game. You can find videos all over the place of those two, but this Windows 95 version? It's close to impossible. I think I've found two videos of this version, neither of which are very high quality. Though the reason for that isn't exactly hard to figure out -- this game is almost impossible to play on any modern computer. It doesn't run on modern Windows at all, which means you need to pull out a Windows 9x emulator, and most of the ones that play it...don't play it all that well. Which is exactly why I recorded this on a real computer running Windows 95.
My original intent was to do a full playthrough of this, but that ended up not happening due to...stupid things that aren't important. I lost track of this project as a result and never finished it. I was originally going to keep going forward after I botched the gas station level, but eh, it is what it is. And since I don't know what else to upload at this point, here you go.
So...on the topic of this version, how does it fare compared to the SNES and Genesis versions? Umm...it fares horribly. Where do I even start? The control on this version is awful, Woody's jumping is really "floaty" for starters. In the console versions it's fairly realistic, but here, his upward and downward speed are always constant, meaning he jumps in a triangle shape, not in a parabola. His pullstring also has a really strict hitbox, which makes bosses a nightmare and fighting enemies really annoying. And the RC levels are COMPLETELY AWFUL on this version. The turning is so sensitive that it's impossible to navigate anywhere; I promise my poor performance on that stage wasn't all my fault. I used to complain about the console versions of those levels, but now they hardly seem bad by comparison.
Will I ever do a walkthrough of this game? I dunno, I wish I could, but me being at college doesn't exactly make that an easy task.
Enjoy the video. This video mostly demonstrates up to the gas station level...if I ever get enough motivation I'll try to take another go at this. I don't remember if I played good or bad during this so I'll let you watch and judge for yourself.

Note: For whatever reason, RUclips's search results are still directing people to this video instead of the full walkthrough I have up now. This only shows the first half of the game, while my other one shows the entire game. If y'all want to see the rest of it, go here: ruclips.net/video/5Um1JCzdvgo/видео.html
I remember playing this obsessively on windows 95 when I was a kid. I loved it
Me too hope you’re doing well
Imagine the Sega CD version of this game, it's basically the Genesis version but with CD-quality music from the PC game.
Heh, I would have admired such an idea. I can see why it never happened though, considering that was an add-on that never really got popular enough (it wasn't a failure like some would have you believe though). They did make a version of Earthworm Jim for that add-on with CD music though, for what that's worth, though in that case they also gave it an extra level.
That actually almost happened, I recorded the entire game...until I learned I had messed up the recording. It was a hard to spot error too, or I would have seen it in test recordings. Agh.
But yeah, I've considered doing that numerous times.
...no. This version sucks. Believe me. Just because it has CD audio doesn't mean it's better.
First off, I'd argue it actually looks WORSE. Not only are the graphics barely even up to snuff with the SNES version (and none of the dithering ironed out either, which is inexcusable considering home computers had better color depth than any console at the time), they removed several effects, like the 3D shelves and drawers. The animations are also much rougher in this version. And as the other guy said, the jumping is terrible and unrealistic. There's no acceleration of movement at all, you sort of just "float" into the air. Just look at the way Woody jumps off hooks in this version, it's really apparent just from that. And if that's not enough to turn you off from this version, the RC levels will be more than enough.
If you've never actually played this version, believe me, if you ever do, you will take everything you said back. This version is obscure and deserves to be so.
I meant PS-YK-NU-SIS as if didn't spell it right as I left out the N
...I can't even follow what you're saying anymore
The frameright on the PC version doesn't seem as smooth as the SNES and Genesis version. Though then again it's probably because of the CPU PCs had back then.
Also is it just me or do the stars sound a bit like the Gameboy Advance startup?
The jittery frame rate isn't really what I'd call excusable. This version of the game was released in 1996, and the absolute best processor you could get on the market at the time was a Pentium clocked at 200 MHz, but the average was in the 100-166MHz range. This was played on a Pentium II laptop from *1999* clocked at 366MHz; in fact, Windows 95 is considered *old* by this computer's standards, it's much more suited to running Windows 98! It's probably tied to the graphics chip more than anything, but I dunno, it plays Sonic and Knuckles Collection pretty smoothly which is a newer game so I don't really think it's that excusable under any of those circumstances.
Waltman13 The minimum spec is a 66MHz 486.
walk down memory lane, grew up playing this game!!
All these years later, I know why I could never beat the first level... You can whip stuff.
This legit was what I grew up for a while. This video is certainly a sight to see after playing and beating this game about seven years ago.
Graphics? Good.
Music? Great.
Physics? Don't see any.
I seem to remember having this game on PC as a kid, and giving up on it rather quickly. I think there was also a commercial for this on one of the VHS tapes we used to have (forget which one). I don't know why, but I found it amusing whenever Woody says "Ow!"
懐かしすぎる…。子供の頃夢中で遊んだなぁ。
今見ても当時のグラフィックでこのクオリティはよくできていると思う。
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS! I do have videos of the full game but they are recorded from a camera pointing towards the old computer. If you could upload a HQ video of the WHOLE GAME then I would be HAPPY.
Since at least 2010, I have been wanting to find videos of this game in HQ. Thank you.
I would love to some day, and yeah, I totally get what you mean. I actually bought this game for the precise reason that it was grossly under-covered on RUclips, even if it's not a very good version. Although, a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that almost no emulator can play this game well.
If I can ever find the drive and time to walkthrough the whole game, I absolutely will.
I got the disc of this for my birthday as a child and loved it. Looking back now,Jesus Christ I had nothing else to play apparently
Lord Almighty. I had this growing up but didn't realize until going back and watching this video how Jankey this port really was. Music is pretty great though.
After just beating the Genesis version and watching this video, I'm kind of dumbfounded that a port for the PS1 and the Saturn was never attempted. Imagine if it combined the higher quality audio from this version and the effort that was put into the Genesis version, I would've loved to have seen how that looked.
Then again, the Genesis version by itself is still very impressive for its time (with its ability to display 3D imagery and still move at 60 FPS). It's pretty embarrassing that the PC port somehow ruined a game that the much weaker Genesis could handle just fine.
It really is. Add to it that we've had much better Genesis-to-PC ports than this (Sonic CD, Earthworm Jim) and it really stands out as a lousy port. My only guess for why a PS1/Saturn port never happened is because those were probably seen as 3D consoles and they may have thought it would have been a bit odd for a game based on a CGI-animated movie that still used predominantly 2D visuals would look out of place on such a console. It's just my guess though.
Mr. Eight-Three-One I guess that's possible, but around the time the SNES and Genesis versions came out, there were plenty of 2D and so-called 2.5D games coming out on the PS1 and Saturn (examples including Rayman and Gex). So I don't think it would've truly been out of place for the game to release on those platforms, especially when 3D games were still kind of in their infancy at the time.
Yeah, but it was based on a property that revolutionized computer animation as we know it today. I'm just saying I think people would have expected something 3D when it's Toy Story we're talking about, but it wasn't out of place on the predominantly 2D SNES and Genesis. The other thing that makes me say such is that the video game adaptation of Toy Story 2 eventually *was* released on the PS1 which indeed was a 3D platformer. Now, I could be wrong, but that's my theory anyway.
The PC would also make sense considering that PCs had yet to see the 3D boom happen there as well (though the 3DFX Voodoo graphics card did come out a few months after this game. Hmmm...). Other Toy Story PC games like Activity Center and Animated Storybook were a bit more "cinematic" (in fact, Pixar themselves even did the animation for them!) though aimed at younger kids.
I suppose that is true, even though the Toy Story 2 game came out when 3D platformers were more mainstream, whereas they were barely (if even) established when the original came out. Then again, Mario 64 and Crash were on the horizon, so it's entirely possible that people did expect more out the new generation.
shnick1990 I don't understand why displaying pre rendered models as images would really affect frame rate. They're just more images.
That game deserved a remastered like other old Disney games.
I had this for my windows 95 back in the day. I enjoyed it well enough then.
This version has such a good soundtrack. Any way to play this on Win 10?
Outside of emulators, I don't believe so. I have gotten it to successfully play on PCem, for what that's worth.
If it's for any reason besides nostalgia though...don't play this version. The music is the only good thing about it. Everything else about this version is horrible. If you really want to experience this game properly, emulate the Genesis or the SNES versions, they're miles better than this one.
From what I heared, all versions are same except that PC version is missing one level. What makes PC version horrible aside from missing level?
Hah. HAHAHAHAHA. Someone who told you that probably never actually played the PC version and just assumed that.
I went over all of this in the description, but to sum it up...the controls are awful in this version, Woody has terribly unrealistic jumping, the graphics are watered down (such as how the 3D effects are gone), there are no bonus games, Woody's pullstring has a very strict hitbox that makes hitting enemies a giant pain, and the RC levels are near unplayable because the steering is stupidly sensitive. Read the description for more detail.
You're going to have a ball just being able to play this version at all on a modern PC, and for how crappy it is, it's just not worth the effort.
...if you were looking for an ISO, there's your problem. ISO files don't support Redbook audio. BIN-CUE files are what you need if you need Redbook.
And secondhand copies are really easy to find actually. Just check eBay.
ughhhhh so many memories
The R/C car minigame reminds me of 3D Ultra Radio Control Racers Deluxe: Traxxas Edition.
I hope it's not as unplayably awful.
Found your video from that guy that uploaded your Myst video. I been trying to search for this game for years that I used to play on the family windows millennium but never got past the first level lol.
The graphics are awesome in this version
nostalgia pura quando era criança eu jogava esse jogo era um máximo toy story no meu coração
Had this on Windows 95. Good times
I've been here since your roblox vids. I liked those vids so much I made my character look like yours lol. anyways, even though I subscribed because of roblox, your content is still amazing and I love it! keep up the great work!
Oh goodness, heh. I'm actually surprised you did, I chose that color scheme just before I turned 12, it's not the least bit stylish or anything! But I am honored that you decided to do so c:
And thanks man!
Awesome! When exactly was this video recorded?
March 2016, during last year's Spring Break. So around the same time I recorded Moop and Dreadly.
Interesting. I wish you would have uploaded it that long ago, but it's good to see it here on RUclips now.
In the third level you can see Buzz walking like an Egyptian.
Am I hearing the Game Boy Advance ding every time a star gets collected?
i was playing this old game back in 2013 when i was 4 bc it was my fave game.
ofc before i discovered what roblox was
No wonder why Woody's win animations looked freaky in the console ports, they were sped up!
No, it's the reverse. The console versions came first; it's the PC version that's the port. So actually they slowed it down.
The movie's version of the dance is even faster than all the versions of the game here.
I got up to 9:42 before I couldn't take anymore. The story parts are just to hard to read through knowing the movie's story. They feel so rushed and choppy.
But, if you're enjoying it, have fun. :)
This would fit on ps1 and sega Saturn
No, it would actually be good if it did.
Actually the PlayStation wasn’t even out in America in 1995. It didn’t arrive until a year later in 1996.
awesome job
Can you do another gameplay of this that involves the levels Food and Drink, Inside the Claw Machine, The Claw, and Sid's Workbench please?
I'd love to, but I've sorta run out of motivation to try making a video of this game again, especially since I'm at college again and without access to the PC I made this video with.
How are you able to play this, let alone record the game in HD? I had fond memories playing the PC version when I was younger. It was tough, but manged to get through it.
This was played on an old Pentium II laptop, fed into an AverMedia Game Broadcaster HD, one of the only capture cards on the market that can actually do VGA.
As for recording in HD, actually I didn't. I recorded at 640x480, but I rendered the video in Sony Vegas so I could upscale it to 960x720. That is also what allows the video to be 60fps.
I used to play this version. I just found it again yesterday. I never got past the 3rd level.
7:11 Almost done 14:00 Revenge of Toys Free Rex 21:00 Buzz Battle
6:00 Ego Check 12:15 Revenge of Toys Free Rex 18:34 Next up Buzz Battle
Really Inside the Claw Machine is not included in this version due to limitations.
It's not even "limitations", it's just due to laziness. If we could port Doom to Windows 95, how the heck was this not capable of having that level?
...space issues? Are they for real?
Dude, this game was put on a 650MB CD, where the SNES and Genesis versions could only store a few megabytes *at most.* If it was really that big an issue, they could have maybe cut one of the music tracks and just reused one for another level. And looking at the size of my disc image, they still had about 8MB to spare of space anyway, which is more space than a Genesis cartridge can even *hold.* I get the idea that they just didn't care enough to try putting it in, considering how poorly done this entire version is as a whole.
What would’ve been cool since this was on PC, it should’ve shown clips from the movie instead of the still images like from the console ports.
If only Traveler's Tales had dome this port themselves, it coulda been even better than the Genesis version.
This game used to stress me out man
I remenber this game
This would fit on PS1, Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64
No it wouldn't. You'd be implying the version is actually good.
And no, definitely not on the N64. That's not even a CD-based console.
Mr. Eight-Three-One Well neither are the mega drive or SNES.
...but the OP was referring to consoles a version like this would fit on. This one uses CD audio where the MD and SNES versions use synthesized. They weren't part of the discussion.
Maybe if it got released on the ps1 or the saturn it would look like this but way better
Mannnnnnnnnn this game used to creep me out as a kid and made me too scared to play it. I don't know why the had to make everything all dark and moody.
11:32 The big clip on buzz
Question how did this game give me a virus to my new computer ?
Played the shit out of this game back in the day.
lol I remember this game
omg mr.patato head's eyes 8:02
The 3D stuff are gone due to limitations
Yeah because PCs totally weren't capable of playing Doom or Wolfenstein 3D.
Wait a minute...
To think it started from here... and now look at them in kh3 @_@
This is just as good as the sega genisis And snes version
Game seems faster but choppy at the same time.
1. Which computer are you playing this on?
2. Did you get your 486 Computer fixed and working again yet? True or False
1. The IBM ThinkPad 600e. I already stated this explicitly in the description.
2. I haven't touched my 486 in forever.
Mr. Eight-Three-One when will you get your 486 Computer fixed like try to fix it?
I just don't have that kind of time or motivation anymore. I'm in college most of the time far away from it. And the thing has just been such a headache to keep up with that I can't bother anymore. Besides, I would like to back up my hard drive on it before I do anything else.
The Genesis version is better.
Why has no body made a remake of this for smart phones. Some one pls do it
If this game had a PS1 version, This would basically be it.
No, it'd actually be good.
@@MrEightThreeOne so you are saying none of the versions out there are?
@@mbdg6810 No, I was saying that this version in particular wasn't.
@@MrEightThreeOne ok
Imagine if this were to come out on the PS1
I love how many people keep saying things like this, and my response is always "No, that version would actually be good if that existed".
My childhood lol
Long time no see
Eight-three-one? Are you a Disney fan?
Pretty sure I already told you, but yes I am.
Anyone have the link to an ISO? Because I want to get this for my Windows 95 VM. And I'd really appreciate it if someone has an ISO of Toy Story 2 for PC
...uh, no, because ISOs don't even support CD audio tracks in the first place?
Also, don't play this version. It's terrible.
For one, what do you mean it's terrible?
Two, I actually played it and skipped the Claw level, which I gotta say is a freaking ragefest if you ask me
Imagine if they made a video game like this but for The Office.
For some reason, the animations are a little bit slow, or not well. ⏱
It's not just you. The animations are indeed quite a bit rougher than they are on the consoles.
It is Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo mixed together. 👍🏻
No, it's a lousy version that doesn't even stack up to either of the two.
oh I think this pc version of a game can try to take my mind off of it.
Proof that shitty PC ports is not a new thing
Oh gosh, that's FAR from a new thing. Terrible ports have been around pretty much as long as video games have. Take a look at any console port of Doom; pretty much all of them are worse than the PC version in some way. A lot of NES games also had horrible PC ports too; know of TMNT for the NES? Yeah, that got a PC port that was also terrible. In fact, you couldn't even finish it without cheating -- a design oversight made it impossible to go past a certain area in the sewers. There were plenty of other terrible PC ports of earlier games as well.
This one is incredibly inexcusable to me though because we also had Sonic CD and Earthworm Jim on Windows 95, and both of them were miles better than this port. It boggles my mind how little care was put into this port.
Disney usually had fairly decent PC ports, clearly one of the best Disney games on console wasn't good enough to give a shit about when porting it, the Mega Drive port really is the best version, if anything for the extra levels
Well this is what I call a way to not recycle an exaggerated hard Toy Story game.
Seriously, it could be better if they makes the gameplay more fluid, but it seems that the game is just made by laziness. What a disappointment.
And I thought that the SNES version was the laziest version.
how did you have music in this game? mine dont have
This could be caused by any number of things.
* Did you download an ISO of the game? If so, that's the problem. The ISO format doesn't support CD audio.
* Which emulator are you using, if you're using one at all? If it's DOSBox + Windows 95, I've never been able to get CD audio to work on there.
* If it's an old computer, I don't know what it could be. It could be any number of things.
Mr. Eight-Three-One i have the game on disc im using virtual pc
Ah, not sure what to say then. I haven't tried it on VPC myself and can't because I use Windows 10
Mr. Eight-Three-One so there is no solution?
Mr. Eight-Three-One what do you use?
I think there going to cancel Toy Story 4 cause of Don Rickles's death
John Lomuscio there probably gonna find a new voice actor for him
I'm sure his lines were recorded by the time he passed away. I think it's like what happened with carrie fisher in last jedi.
I imagined the psx has all levels and new one which is command and conquer toys in this one you need to put Sid's toys to did if you do that he gets surrounded and got scared of woody saying "so play nice" with limps but Saturn version I think it will get murdered with half of animation, stiff controlls and poor frame rate
Maxim Ukhin Saturn version would probably be better actually. 2D games tend to better on Saturn than PlayStation. Take Rayman for example. I think the Saturn street fighter ports are also considered by most to be better than their PlayStation counterparts.
so what maybe 2d games are better on saturn but NOT real life 2d games for example mortal kombat 2 on saturn considered to be the worst version of the best mortal kombat game ever made or even wwf games you know 2d games that look realistic don't work well on saturn cause it needs to have a lot of memory like any of those spetacular visuals and update needs a better hardware and thats where playstation's at
Maxim Ukhin So by "real life" you mean using photos? It doesn't make any difference. They're just images. You might want more frames for smoother animation, but even then, the Saturn has more memory than the PlayStation.
let me tell you what i actually ment digitised 2d games on saturn do NOT work well have you seen mortal kombat 2 on saturn or wwf games they do not work well on saturn cause it uses big use of memory to make it work and what happens half of animation and poor framerate with crippling amout of slowdown and atop of all that most people owned playstation than they do the saturn so they do not want to play a crappy port of a playstation game so it's bloody obvious playstation is better overall
Maxim Ukhin As I said before, the Saturn has more memory. Your argument is invalid. Anyway, this uses CGI not photos, as if that makes any difference.

Music? *Great.*
Gameplay? _Shite._

that really is the vaguest way to categorize everything
