Tonic Trouble is a 3D platforming video game by Ubisoft Montreal, first released in Europe on the PC in early 1999. The story follows the main character, Ed, after a magic potion spills on the Earth and causes vegetables to become living killers. The game was subsequently released on the Nintendo 64 in North America and Europe on 25 August and 24 October 1999 respectively, and to the North American PC market on 6 December 1999. A version of the game was released on the Game Boy Color in 2000, however this version was only available in Europe. A PlayStation version of the game was planned, but never released for unknown reasons. Additionally, a beta version for the PC was released as Tonic Trouble: Special Edition, published by Guillemot. This version featured very different level designs and control schemes. It was given away by Compaq with new computers running Windows 98 in parts of Europe in mid-1999. A few differences are the additional guards not encountered in the Retail Version, larger and more open level designs, red spades instead of thermometers for health power ups, and the lack of a final boss. |
There are two components for playing a n64 Tonic Trouble rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the n64 OS and software.
The second component is the Tonic Trouble rom itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Mupen – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Mupen, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the mupen64.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Tonic Trouble rom. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Mupen and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
