History[edit]

Mound Metalcraft was created in 1946 in Mound, Minnesota, by Lynn Everett Baker (1898–1964), Avery F. Crounse, and Alvin F. Tesch. Their original intent was to manufacture garden implements. Their building's former occupant, the Streater Company, had made and patented several toys. E. C. Streater was not interested in the toy business so they approached Mound Metalcraft. The three men at Mound Metalcraft thought they might make a good side line to their other products.^[3]

In an effort to educate people about the dangers of “non genuine” software the company is now actively warning users.

After some modifications to the design by Alvin Tesch and the addition of a new logo created by Erling Eklof (based on a University of Minnesota drafting student's sketch by Donald B. Olson who later became the company Chief Industrial Engineer; with the Dakota Sioux word 'Tanka' or Tonka, which means 'great' or 'big'), the company began selling metal toys, which soon became the primary business.^[4] In November, 1955, Mound Metalcraft changed its name to Tonka Toys Incorporated. The logo at this time was an oval, showing the Tonka Toys name in red above waves, presumably honoring nearby Lake Minnetonka.^[5] In 1964, Tonka acquired the Mell Manufacturing Company in Chicago, allowing it to produce barbecue grills, eventually under the Tonka Firebowl label.^[6]

In 1987, Tonka purchased Kenner Parker, including UK toy giant Palitoy, for $555 million, borrowing extensively to fund the acquisition. However, the cost of servicing the debt meant Tonka itself had to find a buyer and it was eventually acquired by Hasbro in 1991.^[7] In 1998, Hasbro began a licensing deal with Funrise Toys to manufacture and distribute Tonka trucks. The deal began with versions of the trucks fitted with electronics for lights and sounds, but grew to encompass the entire brand.^[8]

In 2001, Tonka trucks were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York.^[9]

Tonka has produced a variety of toys over the years, including dolls (Star Fairies, Bathing Beauties, Maple Town, and Hollywoods) and other toys aimed at girls like Keypers and aimed at boys like Gobots, Rock Lords, Spiral Zone, and Steel Monsters. It was the original manufacturer of the Pound Puppies toy line, and in the late 1980s licensed products inspired by Maple Town.

Tonka produced video games, including Tonka Raceway, and purchased the rights to distribute and market the Sega Master System after Sega of America stopped competing against the Nintendo Entertainment System in the U.S. However, the Master System's market share declined, since Tonka didn't have experience with video games or how to market them. Hasbro sold the digital gaming rights for various properties (including My Little Pony, Magic: The Gathering, Tonka, Playskool, and Transformers) to Infogrames for US$100 million in 2000, buying back the rights for US$66 million in June 2005.^[10]

The Winifred Museum in Winifred, Montana, has a collection of more than 3,000 Tonka toys.^[11]

Tonka Construction offers kids a chance to drive Tonka heavy machinery in several jobs in the virtual world of Tonka Land. From the city with its three projects to the mountains to clear a snow slide, Tonka vehicles roll into action with more available in the garage area. Screens change in response to actions -- a road snakes across the dessert, the city skyline shows effects of building projects, and snow removal clears an avalanche. Gameplay is non-linear, with projects selected off a map including five starting areas: Desert, Quarry, Mountain, City, or Garage.

In the Garage, players repair and maintain the grader, bulldozer and monster truck by replacing spare parts or painting the vehicles. Each activity focuses on an aspect of decision making (right parts) or color selection in the paint shop. Seven different colors are available, but only one color per part is allowed. Once done, players take the vehicle for a ride where they can test out the controls (ignition key, accelerator pedal, etc.).

Unfortunately, while assembling the machinery is fun, a sense of disappointment is sure to occur when the color schemes fail to remain on the vehicles and return to standard yellow and black immediately after leaving the paint shop. The ride isn't much fun either, as the game changes from a driver's perspective to a side view. As in the other activities, completing the activity earns the player a printable award.

The city offers three building projects: a city park, castle, or modern skyscraper. After a site is selected, buildings are demolished, the land surveyed, and construction begins. Construction is slightly different for each project and increases in order of difficulty. Heavy machinery is used to dig foundations, build walls and supports, and place various items needed by the crew. Extra items are available for placement after construction is finished, and if placed correctly, come to life with a short animation.

Despite the cute nature of the graphics and the humor of placing items after construction, frustration can become a factor as the game fails to explain clearly how to disperse vehicles once the job is done. Younger children and even some adults may experience difficulty in maneuvering the trucks and placing various items on the site. Novice players would be advised to tackle less challenging areas prior to the building projects, but, once mastered, this area fosters a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

The desert segment is less complicated than city building, as the road leading to Tonka Town must first be cleared, graded, paved, and smoothed using various equipment (e.g., a bulldozer, grader, and roller). Even the line down the center is the job of the fledgling construction worker. Rock blasting to build a tunnel through the mountain and bridge building to cross a canyon makes the activity fun with good visual results. As with the city projects, extras can be added for animation effects. Unlike the city projects, though, trucks are lined up and can be dragged easily to the road for use.

The ranger needs help clearing a terrible avalanche and rescuing stranded cars. Plowing snow releases some cars but others need assistance from the tow truck. A path must be cleared to the snow lodge by using the front loader and the grader is used to break up ice. The activity is certainly one that kids will want to play repeatedly, as the vehicles are easy to control and the ranger gives feedback on how well they're doing and what action comes next.

Gold is the goal in the quarry, where players dig and push rocks and rubble into the rock crusher. Red and blue rock piles hide surprises once the gold is found. Earning certificates in all seven areas garners the player a 'Master Builder' award, with additional play possible by simply returning to an area and clicking on the demolition option.

Controls are relatively easy and the game features a point-and-click motif with simple mouse movement. In a few instances, though, the instructions aren't especially clear on how to make certain events occur, such as clicking off screen to deselect a truck in the city.

Tonka Construction suffers from a mix of activities that feel either too hard or too easy. Young players may find easier areas challenging and hard areas extremely difficult, while older players will be challenged by the tough areas but bored with the easy activities. The level of enjoyment will vary with age and skill, but, despite its flaws, the game offers a decent look into the world of construction.

Graphics: Graphics are well done with a cartoon-like flavor. The changes that occur on the main screen during gameplay are impressive and instill a nice sense of accomplishment. Some of the graphics, such as the waterfall on the mountain, look especially nice for a child's game.

Sound: Voices are good, and the sounds of the various vehicles make the activities seem realistic.

Enjoyment: Challenges will vary depending on the age and skill of the user. But all players should find the activities fun and enjoyable to some degree.

Replay Value: Playing once is probably enough since nothing really changes during a replay, but the lure of big vehicle construction is bound to appeal to some.
