three years ago I went to a thrift store and i had found a japanese game called 玩具メーカー on a japanase 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
'''''UPDATE N°1'''''
One day after I buyed the game, I was back to the japanase stall, but the Japanese guy and his stall had disappeared.
'''''***This article was copied and pasted here from a japanese forum, becouse 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, graphicses 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:
