This evening for your delight, ladies and gentlemen, my Commodore 64 presents the game that made me rage-quit more than any other!

@fluttergirly I also guess #Nintendo won't be able to get the license for the #Waterworld game, because it's original licensee (#oceanSoftware) collapsed and the licensing of the original IP long lapsed.

Say what you like about #OceanSoftware, but they certainly nailed what every teenage boy was thinking about in the mid-80s, even if they didn't quite nail all the games.

Did Street Hawk even ever get released?

Here's a comparison of a sprite between the arcade, Amiga and Atari ST versions of Toki.

Yes, indeed! Toki's beloved has become a brunette on the Atari ST. No doubt for technical reasons.

And to compare with the Amiga version, I also made a video of the arcade version of Toki developed by Tad Corporation 🐵

There are not only graphical differences, but also in level design (fewer enemies/items on Amiga)

The port of Toki to Amiga (and Atari ST) is undoubtedly one of the best ever made for an arcade game! 🧙‍♀️ 🪄 🐒

Smooth gameplay, vibrant graphics. The developers did an amazing job 😀

I wonder who drew the Toki artwork. Bob Wakelin, perhaps?

Here's the box and its contents. The manual and floppy disk are stored in the small Ocean bag.

Got a new game box! 😀

Toki, an Ocean Software game that I had on Atari ST and then Amiga. Because of the difficulty, I never got very far...

I love the cover art 🤩
