INSTRUCTIONS
You control a teddy bear trying to get back to it's nursery
through 99 toy boxes (Levels).  Using the keys, the idea of each
level (Toy Box!) is to build a set of steps out of building
blocks that are scattered about.  There are nasties (the level
indicating the number) that will shred ted if he makes contact
with them.  Weapons can be picked up and used to kill the
nasties, however if they are all killed, an indestructible roving
lump of plasticene will then hamper you.  To temporarily pause
the nasties, you can open the jack-in-the-box by touching it.

NOTE
Small graphics, and lots of attribute clashes make this game look
very dated.
