You read the title. ^^

When I was 10, I remember playing with this really interesting toy with a childhood friend. I've only seen the toy once but it left a deep impression on me. Even now, I wanted to buy that toy from ebay but I don't remember the name of the merchandise!

Here's some clues that might help you...if any of you are familiar with this toy, just give me the link. I'll check if it's the one I'm looking for.

1) The theme of the toy is a 'death trap mountain'. [It's quite violent for children]. The toy is literally a MINIATURE MOUNTAIN. I think it's a volcano? I recall seeing lava pits around it?

2) When you play it, you move a miniature car up the mountain road-- [the road circles up the mountain until you reach the top], there's a lot of boobie traps and corpses? I remember there's a suspension bridge that can make your car fall into the lava? Not sure, my memories' a bit fuzzy with the details.

It's not a video game. It's a toy.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like some sort of toy car set. (Edit: I said Hot Rods earlier, I meant Hot Wheels.)

Another edit: couldn't be Hot Wheels Volcano Shoot Out, could it? Or something of the sort?

No, it's not that one. The mountain is black in color, I think it has a skull face in it. Thanks for the reply ^^

The size of the miniature car is very small (smaller than hot wheels), the toy reminds me of polly pocket but it's a more mature version of it.

Nope, not that one too. Y__Y


Edit:
The Miniature mountain has a lot of details in it, it has a lot of dead bodies, lava, traps, detailed hilly terrain.

The car is small enough to move up the small road around the mountain. It's a very very small car. The car is not the main assessory for the toy, it's the mountain and the death traps that embody the theme of the toy. I still can't find this toy for so long...it's so difficult isn't it?

I dont think it's suitable for children because of the hazardous small parts and mature themes.

Could it be this "skull's challenge" Matchbox playset?
Here's a picture of the front and back of the box.

Nope. The size of the car is the size of a thumb, it's very small. The size of the mountain is very big [25-30 centimeters in height?] and has a lot of details on the boobie traps, the mountain road, the corpses around it and a suspension bridge that can 'collapse' and make the car fall into the lava if you want to.

It has an intricate design, similar to those model size garden landscapes but only, it's smaller and it's a toy (The toy mountain is black in colour...a lot of rocks and lava)..I think.

Have you thought about finding some website where people who have an interest in these sorts of toys gather? You'd probably have a lot better luck asking there than here.
