Tommy's Toys: Where Are You?


This blog is an attempt to locate the great software developer from outer space known as Tommy's Toys. Back in the 80's and 90's, Tommy's Toys made literally 100's of games for IBM PC computers. At a time when most of the fun games where being made for C64's and Amigas, for those who didn't have one of those computers, Tommy's Toys saved the day. Most of their games ran in text mode, the old ANSI style text/graphic mode and could run on even the most basic PC (8088).

Unforuntately, they didn't seem to make the transistion to the internet that well. For a few years, a web site existed, and then, with no warning, they dropped off the planet. I was lucky to get one last email from Tommy's Toys a few years ago with a few games attached. Since then, I've had no luck locating the company or their games to download.

When I was a kid, I wished to own the "Toy Chest" which was a collection of every single Tommy's Toys game ever made. Please, if you have any information about this great company, and what happened to them and where they are now, please post!
