Game Info

Developer: Sega
Publisher: Sega
Year of Release: 1991

Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
With its expectorating simian hero, Toki is one of TAD Corporations best-known coin-op releases. The game was ported to numerous computers and consoles, although the Sega Genesis is unique among these, thanks to the inclusion of 9 new stages.

Much like its arcade counterpart, players must guide Toki through levels populated with traps an environmental hazards, taking down minions of the evil Stark in the process. Only when the evil wizard is defeated will Toki regain his human form, but with the road to success long and fraught with peril, players certainly have their work cut out for them.

I have to say, Sega did a great job bringing Toki to the Genesis. The developers captured the look and feel of the coin-op version, and whilst it might not be the most attractive game on the system, the visuals are perfectly functional, and there are some cool background effects in later stages. Perhaps my favourite thing about the game is the music, translated from the arcade and is toe-tappingly great!

Video Notes
---------------------------------------------------
- Played on Normal difficulty (the game removes most of the power-ups on hard, as well as jacking up the number of enemies in each stage, making it less representative from a longplay perspective)
