[edit] Background

A criminal called Scrubby has escaped. He was imprisoned for trying to steal the Magic Pendulum - which brings toys to life. Relik, a cuckoo clock, guards the pendulum. Scrubby appears suddenly and steals the pendulum. You, a hero called Inguz, are called on to recover the pendulum before the toys' magical world disappears...

[edit] Gameplay

You control a hero who has to traverse toyland and shoot evil toys, collect power-ups, and defeat bosses to advance levels. The gameplay is similar to that of the better known Metal Slug series of videogames.

[edit] Trivia

Zeus also made a game for the Commodore Amiga called Risky Woods.
