As I sit here writing this, I finally hold in my hands a copy of Tiny Toon Adventures 3 :yay: After waiting for so long it's such a relief, I swore the package was probably lost or damaged. This sort of paranoia always sets in whenever I expect something, I'm just glad it ended happily.
I'll let everyone know my impressions of it after I play it.

Just finished playing it.
Like was suggested to me by the guy who provided the pics, it's a mediocre game. Well, to me it's still got its charm and I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it's obviously one of the earlier efforts of Gamtec. Physics are pretty basic feeling too.
There's only 5 levels, Each level is basically four different screens you progress through, then the boss. Part of the gameplay that relates to the story is that you free animals, each stage has a different animal that always comes out of trashcans that you jump on. It's sort of ironic considering all the enemies in the game are animals too =p Freeing animals is only for a score though, just as meaningful as the enemy defeat tally in Super Mario World 64.
The music is pretty plain, though a couple of stages were catchy. The last level sounds like it's possibly based off of Three Blind Mice, but then turns into its own thing. By far the best music was in the Super Mario World rip-off levels. There's actually two of them for some reason. The music in those levels are a bit more chip-like sounding, I'm not sure how to put it. I'm pretty certain the music engine is the same thing found in other Gamtec titles, like Adventurous Boy and Squirrel King.
It's pretty much a 30 minute game, not too hard to beat. Bosses are too easy. Overall I wouldn't rate it above Lion King II or Squirrel King, my favorite Gamtec games, but it still isn't all that bad. Don't expect much though. The only level left out of the rar file at the beginning of this topic is the 4th level, which comes after the Mario World rip-off you see. It's yet another Mario rip-off, complete with more turtles that leave their shells for you to kick when you jump on them, to a bunch of pigs in parachutes. Catchy music too
You can see a pic of this level in the back of the box, very right pic in the center. The final boss also is shown at the top left. Dunno why they'd spoil it so quick
It's interesting though that all the scenes shown in the back of the box aren't actually in the game, it looks like they just took the level graphics and made mock-ups for the box or something.
I'll add a bit to the wiki now. As far as dumping goes, I probably won't get to it immediately, but I'll buy a Sega CD transfer cable and try my luck eventually. Considering it's a pirate I don't have high expectations for that to work though.
