CaptainBreakout Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Toki was good. Very good. The game was AMAZING!... at getting all my quarters. It gulped them all down long before my parents finished grocery shopping at a typical trip to Safeway in Quincy, CA in 1991 and/or 1992. It was so good, I can remember the attract mode just by closing my eyes (which, after my quarters were depleted, was all there was to watch). The thing would gulp down 75¢ in three minutes. $1.50 didn't take it much longer. So, as an arcade game it was good. And by good I mean an effective quarter gobbler. Would I rather see Rastan on the 7800? Hell yeah! That was at that Safeway the year before, and sometimes I could actually last long enough for my folks to hit the checkout line. Was Toki a better game? In terms of quarter eating, a resounding YES. Part of why I want it for the 7800 is out of personal vengeful spite. It took a lot of my allowance, like an alley grifter for 12 year olds. This, I respect. Still, all the more reason to own the game on a 7800, my preferred field of battle, and kick it's ass in my adult life. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Safeway had Stratovox ...And Now I play it on my VCS (2600)!! 22 minutes ago, Atariboy2600 said: In the end we all wanted play MONKIE Nice! I had one of those as a kid too! You push his head and he screeches and bares his teeth. Anyhow, from what I can tell, TOKI looks great! And I like the music too! (Well Like may be a bit strong, but it has a certain character...) Looking forward to a release. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MattelAquarius Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Toki will cure what ails you. Toki will heal all wounds. Toki without Pokey, will make you feel all right. It will make your heart swoon. My 7800 and me are linked, like Elliot and E.T. When it gets Toki in its cartridge slot, My heart flower will bloom; You'll see! 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there are other nice ports of the game. I also like the Genesis game, though it's very different. Having never seen the arcade game at all, my only interest in this is as another prototype found long after the end of the system’s commercial lifetime. I totally forgot there was a port for the Genesis. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I saw the original arcade literally once. Way more familiar with it once it released on the C64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBuddies Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 We found a portion of a time card that identifies the SKU numbers of other unreleased 7800 games. Its interesting because it lends more credibility to the fact they were probably pretty far along. This test department time card was found on the same drive as Toki. Road Riot and Rampart were NOT found on the drive. I don’t post much in the 7800 forums so I don’t know if this is anything cool but here ya go. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Road Riot not being found on the drive, it does prove the game was worked on at some point. I know an early version of Rampart was found for the 7800 back in the 2000s. It might have been the version the time card referred to, but it is a guess. Edited June 7, 2021 by 8th lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
