Extremely funny, major gaming achievement, but major business-disappointment
That is a tall order to fill, because it will immediately come into comparison with any adventure-games by Lucasarts.
At the same time, this was one of the most failed games, financially. This is very sad, since it deserves success. But, it proves that marketing and brands are important. Burst doesn't have ANY other adventure-games to point to, and so people don't know necessarily what kind of game it is. But, I do remember there being a demo of the game as well.. Not knowing the whole story, this game is one of those big enigmas of games that failed financially, but are major achievements.
I played the game again now, 10 years on, using Dosbox emulator. And I laughed my ass off again, noticing some of the very mature jokes in there. Some jokes are very mature, yet very subtle. The game has a vast collection of excellent puns as well. This is seriously powerful humor material! It will remind you slightly of Futurama/Simpsons.
Speaking of which, one of the main voice actors in Toonstruck, Dan Castelanetta, is also the voice behind Homer Simpson, Groundskeeper Willy etc. in Simpsons.
