conceping
when the hero of the game, Pajama Sam, dives into his toybox, he journeys through a world populated by toys-come-to-life. So the Roman soldier is a pewter figure, and the pig is obviously a Hungry Hungry Hippos parody. (A little too obvious, at least to the legal department at Humongous.)
