Three years ago I went to a thrift store and I had found a japanning game called  玩具メーカー on a Japanese stall.

I asked to the Japanese guy to translate the word and he said: "This is Toy Maker a game for all the kids."

I decided to buy it for only twenty dollars and three hours after I wanted to use the game but I moved house and I forgot it.

Yesterday while I search my old game boy in an old backpack I found the game and I decide today to try the game but it's for DOS. I downloaded DOS Box (a DOS emulator) and I installed the game on the emulator.

I made a screenshot of the splash menu image, it’s look like a low quality images, with the name of the product, the copyright date and the name of the creator “Tsunayoshi Toshimichi”.

When I pressed Return button I seen the real main menu, with three buttons:

Start Game – it doesn’t work anymore.

Load game – the game crashes.

Options – a options menu can be opened.

When I opened the Options menu I seen other three buttons:

Sounds – when I open it, the game stuck on a black screen.

Controls – the game crashes.

Exit to DOS – close the game.

I can’t play with this game, I tried a lot of methods but it stuck on the main menu…

If anyone can make this game start contact me at Kenjiromurai8@gmail.com<br />'''''UPDATE N°1''''' One day after I bought the game, I was back to the Japanese stall, but the Japanese guy and his stall had disappeared.

'''''***This article was copied and pasted here from a Japanese forum, because the original one was deleted***'''''

(Sorry for my bad English)

I contacted that guy and he answered:

'''''"Dear Matteo,'''''
'''I had read your email and yes, a guy on the Internet has contacted me and I decided to send to him a copy of the game. I waited at least two month. Later having waited all this time he has contacted me with this email:'''

'Hi, I have created a executable of you game... It can be played from windows without an emulator but it isn't finished.

'''Bye.''''

'''Keep attention, the sounds in the game are a little troublesome and repetitive, graphics are not of the better ones.'''

The game does not have much sense, I have not played there very much but it is a game which puts the anxiety. Tomorrow I'll give to you a copy of the game converted by the guy, but now i can send some screenshots.

'''Good luck..."'''

There was an enclosure in the email, a .rar file, with some screenshots of the game:

[[File:180px-4.png|thumb|Screenshot 3]]I'm waiting for the copy of the game....

'''UPDATE 1: '''Kenjiro finally sent me a copy of the game.


'''I uploaded it [https://mega.co.nz/#!RV5iGLKK!ZJNDqz994Vxx5XFEqhyEFWC0REoAHAXsKhPOR8-rYHU here] .'''

I played the game, but I don't completed it because in some points it crashes.

However, there are various pathways, and i didn't explored them all. I need help to complete this game, so feel free to modify this page and add all information you find!

1)  http://toymakerporting.comyr.com/

2)  http://toymakerporting.comyr.com/1958/index.html

The first page says that the website is closed.

The second requires a username and a password. I am searching for it, but with poor results.

The case is still open...

'''Update 3: ''' I found out the username and password

username: lostgamefinder

password: 19588591

Once the data is entered you will find a white screen talking about a Windows port coming soon along with two links one that says "download patched game" and the other saying "Ripped and converted files". Clicking on "Download patched game" calls for a new username and password that we have not found out yet, I remind you that the Toy Maker us that we downloaded it says "Toy maker patched BETA" so this could possibly be a full version.

Clicking on "Ripped and converted files" asks for a username and password but this time they are the same as before, placing them then opens up a link to some 3D models from the game.
