Amazing game! Besides a few strange translation issues that actually give the game more charcter, this game is on par with Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island 2. Funny and very challenging, with awesome cartoony graphics. If you're into classic point and click adventures, this is exactly the type of game that makes you wish there were more just like it.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't continue playing this game. The main character just keeps trying to be snarky and witty, which he fails to do. That would've been ok, if they only didn't make EVERY SINGLE COMMENT an attempt at humor. You can't bl00dy try to open the door without Tony trying some failed witticism.
Sometimes I just wanted to look at something, or try something without the incessant stream of wannabe funny from Tony. Good grief

This is a really fantastic point and click adventure game! However, it can be HARD and I found myself getting stuck quite frequently (mainly because I accidentally missed a hotspot or an area that can be explored). Despite that, I managed to get through this game with no walkthrough, hence why I've spent 73 hours total on this game apparently! It's a fun one, puzzles are difficult and some puzzles are quite "out there" but I loved it! A lot of the more modern point and click adventure games are built to be a lot easier so it was nice to finally have a really difficult point and click adventure game to play! Loved the humour and the graphics. There are A LOT of different places to explore, the world felt really large to me which is another reason why I loved the game. Would definitely recommend :)

I really loved this, its a good old fashioned point and click with a load of wacky humour and some great puzzles. This game had me in stitches as well as making me use my brain to solve the puzzles so a good all rounder. To get the nest graphical results, which i must say were fab, beautifully drawn, i suggest running the game in SCUMMVM it works a treat then.
In a nutshell if you want a funny old school point and click then i would recommend this

Good game but I would purchase it directly from the TRUE developer and not the current greasy license owner who is repackaging it and selling it. https://www.tony-tough.com/

Ahhh How this Game started out so well! the first chapter in Tonys Office was Brilliant and fairly easy, humourous and enjoyable. Then it gets worse, the game starts to have to many objects and locations. To The point you have no idea what you should be doing. Most point & Clicks you can work out what you can use with what and so forth. This game (In Easy mode) is barely achieveable without a walkthrough and ends up just becoming tedious and Dull. The graphics are incredible and it could have been a great game but its poorly written and constructed. Such a shame!

I'm sad because the game looks good, and it's funny sometimes but it couldn't recommend it, not even to my worst enemy. The developers knew very little of how to make a graphic adventure fun. The puzles are most of the times completly random. There is no explanation of what you should do next, they just put you there to explore lots of screens without a clear goal. There is an excess of dialogues, most the times completely useless and meant to be funny. I gave up after the first 3 hours and completed it with a guide. Specially at the end of the game when I was reading the solutions to the puzzles my wtfs per minute were increasing more and more. Sorry guys, it could have been a decent game but it was not.
Funny enough Tony says that you shouldn't combine everything with everything, that that won't get you far. But that's the real only way to progress in this game.

The game is just as good as it was back in 1997. It may look a bit gory with the strong colors, but its surprising charm and wit are sure to win you over in a just a few minutes, and both visuals and voiceovers soon feels like a natural match for the whimsical story. This is a forgotten classic from a bygone era.
The steam release leaves a lot to be desired though, the only way I got it running at all was by configuring and starting scummvm manually and run the game outside of steam. I also think the price is rather steep for a 19 year old game (Even more so considering that they didnt even bother configure scummvm properly), so in the end I can only recommend technically savvy point-n-click fans to grab it at a sale.

Don't buy this game from Steam. There's a bug which won't allow you to finish the game (read the community posts), and Steam won't refund because you have to play more than 2 hours by the time you get to the bug.

Colorful backgrounds,good animations,cool voice acting , another blast from the past, dont just pass by.
Above that, this game goes through ScummVm and steam config file wont make scaling work, if you got same probs and want to get rid of black borders around the screen, just replace scaler set and turn aspect ratio on to avoid lag.
Or just clear this file -scummvm-tonytough-safe.ini- it can be found in the -ScummVM_Windows- folder in game dir. and put this working sets instead
