Bad Toys 3D is a first-person shooter similar to Wolfenstein 3D released by Czech developer Tibo Software in 1998. It is a colourized re-issue of the earlier Bad Toys from 1995, which was only black-and-white but featured a three level demo. Both are unique as first-person shooters developed for Windows 3.1 using WinG,[1] along with ports Nitemare 3D and Doom. The game involves a toy factory being purchased by a military contractor, with the toys then turning sinister.[2] The registered version features twenty five levels, five enemies, and four weapons.[3] As noted by PC Gamer, as of November 2023 the game's registration keys are still available to purchase from the Tibo Software website.[4] The game received a mixed review from the Ultimate Console Database,[5] and a positive one from Robinson's Special Games Service.[6] A fan made sequel made in GameMaker, The Other Mission, was released in 2023.[7]
