Abandonware DOS title

Games based on a toyline

Surprisingly, despite the natural synergy between toys and video games, there aren't as many video games based on toy lines as one might expect. However, several iconic toy brands have successfully made the leap into the digital entertainment world, becoming well-known franchises in both arenas.

Notable examples include Barbie, whose virtual adventures have captivated audiences just as much as her plastic counterpart, Trolls, toy soldiers, Micro Machines and even Tamagotchi, the digital pet phenomenon that seamlessly merged the toy and video game experience long before it was commonplace.
