Probably not, since you may not have them in Norway. This is not really a discussion, since this is an independent release anyway. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, because this site is AtariAge, and AtariAge happens to be probably the largest publisher of carts for retro-systems in the world today, maybe? Or did you not realize the site has a Store? 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, right, I’m not aquainted with either Best Buy nor Target, but to make the issue very short and precise: will it be put on carts, and if yes, by whom? If, no. Well, - I guess end of discussion.

Or did you not realize the site has a Store? Yes, I’ve noticed they have a store. And I’ve noticed that titles like ‘Sirius’, ‘Plutos’ and ‘Klax’ aren’t available, and for several other orders I’ve paid and placed, my clear impression is that AtariAge store is overworked. So, that were the practical reasons. Edited May 23, 2021 by Giles N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Can we please drop this GDG crap? Do some research before you make statements like this. Spoiler I really hope Shawn doesn't see this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles N Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) @CPUWIZ @DrVenkman Thinking about, I agree with you both. Lets put aside this distracting sub-topic and get back to the threads main-topic: the release of Toki. Have any of you played it (either in part or playthrough)? What do you think about it?

Shawn Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Pretty safe bet that Willard will be selling it on his own site like all the rest of the games he's released. But hey, what the hell do I know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The releases are always announced on AtariAge along with an email address for ordering. The website is currently down (link is in first post of this thread), not sure if it will be back. Priority is to complete things that are in process first. Edit: Didn't see CPUWIZ's response when I posted this.

"Live love enough" instead of "live long enough". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone was wanting to play Toki that bad there is always the Arcade, NES & Genesis versions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I almost died, without ever playing it. ? Better make it my mission in life to play it right now, how else could I go on living? ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Crap, I waited too long, now Toki died (probably suicide). Tried on 5 systems, it's gone, I heard faint bits whisper "Don't trap us inside a cart or let the beasts touch us.", then there was silence. ? 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d be more worried if several die-hard 7800-fans & collectors, commit suicide after finally playing Toki...
