I have recently stumbled across said spirit of the past.
Toonstruck was a pretty neat point and click adventure from the 90s that some of you may still know from past days.

It's about a desperate cartoonist, suffering from an artist's block and being sick of his dull tasks, who gets trapped inside the world of his own creations and has to find his way out. The game features a quite a crazy but very delightful sense of humor that fans of old school cartoons will definitely enjoy and it also contains a lot of great animation.
After watching following fanmade teaser I just had to get the game and revive its full grace with a dos emulator (It's a shame that the old games don't work anymore on the new OSs).

Unfortunately it had a flaw, which, in this case, was the typical one that could ruin a nifty game as this one. The producer didn't give the developer enough time to finish it, forcing them to end the game at a point where the story hadn't really come to an actual end yet, making a cut at a point where it just got more interesting. Of course it's still a great game all in all but open ends are just not satisfying to me and probably most of the other fans as well. A sequel was announced, the game got published and went under due to a bad ad campaign, leaving many fans behind, still waiting for a continuation.

Anyway, recently a petition was started by one of the developers who owns the full rights to the game, asking for tremendous fan support to justify its release and get funding
If you liked the game and would want to support this, take a look at this.



Oh and if you got interested in playing the game/would like to play it once again, get the dosbox to get it to run, in case you are using one of those totally overrated new OSs as I do. It may not be that easy to handle but if anyone gets actually interested who has trouble with it, I'm willing to explain how to get it to work. I really do recommend this piece of videogame art to anyone here.
