Developed and published by TAD Corporation in 1989
Some guys can't seem to catch a break. One moment you're a hunk of prehistoric manhood strolling through the jungle, the next, you're betrothed has been kidnapped by an evil witchdoctor and you've been transformed into a semi-evolved simian. No, today is not a good day to be Toki.
Not one to let his knuckles drag in a crisis, Toki sets off to rescue Princess Miho from the Golden Palace and fortress of the treacherous witchdoctor Vookimdelo. Despite his somewhat squat stature, Toki is far from useless. Not only did he manage to retain his mental faculties, but he has also acquired the ability to spit various types of projectile at his foes. In fact, the Sega Mega Drive port of the game even went as far as to add the subtitle "Going Ape Spit" to highlight this particular mechanic.
The game is side-scrolling platformer set across six different stages, each of which Toki must complete if he is to rescue Miho and reverse the spell that has led to his current condition. Each level is full of monsters and bad guys to shoot, traps to avoid, and, as is a staple with the genre, end-of-level bosses to beat.
Enemies can be despatched by shooting with Toki's special brand of monkey spit, which can be upgraded to shoot multiple shots, or even a gout of searing flame (my personal favourite). Certain enemies will drop gold coins that can be collected in order to earn a bonus life, but you have to be quick on the draw if you're to grab them in time.
In addition to different weapons, our hero can also equip a football helmet that provides some extra protection against adversaries. Somewhat rarer (but no less useful) are a pair of sports sneakers that allow Toki to jump extra high. Sometimes these items are deliberately placed out of reach and enemies must be used as impromptu trampolines to reach them.
As with most coin-ops, Toki can be a tough game and success only comes with practice. Unlike some games that try to overwhelm the player with insurmountable odds or ridiculous amounts of incoming fire, a lot of the challenges can be overcome with practice and caution.
Toki is a decent enough game, but it's stand-out feature has got to be the quirky sense of humour bestowed upon it by the developers. The facial expressions that Toki pulls when spitting at his opponents are great and are a large part of what makes the game so appealing; I have to wonder whether the team at Rare were influenced by the Toki character when it came to creating the updated design of Donkey Kong.
Visual appeal aside, the game boasts solid, responsive controls that means the game is pretty good fun to play. The only real negative comment I feel I can make is that there isn't a tremendous amount of variety in the later levels; a couple of additional enemies show up later in the game, but there's not a huge amount of variety in the level designs themselves.
Nevertheless, Toki is still a pretty fun game to play and is one of the few of TAD's games that received conversions to home systems. With such a quirky sense of humour, it's a shame that this group of former Data East developers didn't survive long enough to develop more.

Bonjour, Google traduit en Français automatiquement. Donc c'est bien pratique pour lire. :)
There's a remaster for this game, which released in 2018, AND that year is OVER! You should try it, @Al72 Retrogaming Longplays!

you probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I love any help you can give me
@Rhett Ulises instablaster ;)
This guy knows to the millimeter exactly where everything that attacks him will stop. Many times I moved by myself, as if I was playing a game. I spent a million chips while playing this game when I was a kid. Bravo !!
Cuando era niño veía a otro niño en las arcades que terminaba el juego completo. Lo admiraba mucho y me puse la meta de terminarlo también. Lo logré y desde entonces me lo se de memoria.
Wow tengo la misma historia solo que nunca pude jugarlo bien 😢
I love the enigmatic and prehistoric feeling of this game
Same here :)
The definition of a classic!
Holly shit, this is one of those rare cases where the remake is actually harder than the original game
@@juliocardos6702 cual es el ORIGINAL ¿?¿?¿?¿ es este o como se llama?
Holly?
God dammit Fredd
Basado
@@renonauta se refiere al port de sega genesis, que es mas largo y dificil que esta, la original del arcade
Beautiful arcade. Required so much money to enjoy it back then
DESPUÉS DE MUCHOS 😥 AŇOS PUDE VER EL FINAL 😱 GRACIAS 👍
ELEGGUA DANTE. Tiene fianl?me resisto a verr esooo.....
yo también, nunca me alcanzo el dinero pera terminarlo ;v
ELEGGUA DANTE yo nunca lo pude terminar tampoco , al fin le puedo dar un cierre a este gran juego
Gracias a Mame y UA-cam he podido ver el final de juegos que nunca pude terminar 😭
Yo también
this type a games remember me ... when everything was good and all growing up in a normal life
What a lovely childhood game...
Normal for you... a nightmare for others 🥺
@@GMAV3RICK really for me this period is a nightmare 😢
I played a lot on genesis
Good times!
Played this game when i was 5 years old :') you are amazing!
I used to play this in a local arcade. After it closed, I never saw this game anywhere ever again. It took me *years* to figure out the name of it (thank you internet)
I found it on Nintendo switch but is a remastered version, game is still the same but with better graphics and is absolute classic👍🏻✌🏻
Same here lol i just found it today 😂
This was a hard game in the arcade loved it.
I was trying to find this game, somewhere, anywhere, for many many years...
-and finaly youtube offers me this link.
because I never finished it myself, now I don't have to;
my heart can rest as Toki finaly saved his love :D
thank you very much
It looks like a good amount of this games difficulty comes from "memorize the garbage for next time."
Isn't that most arcade games?
I'm an old school arcade gamer, and I did play this one a lot. I almost did the end without loose any life, but I make an silly mistake very near to face the last boss. That was a great accomplish in those coin machines back then. In these days I've played again in emulators I could make the end again but never without loose any life... still trying to end my old goal lol. great playing I did enjoy too see some different tecniques than mine you have did in this video. greattings from Brazil!
my old favorite game, i have 37 this is fenomenal
Ok, you are a master of that there is no doubt, for me that game has been one of the impossible, lol I have never finished it but today thanks to you I have seen the end for the first time. I don't know if my age or what happened if I lost my ability to play arcades. And I already read your article, very good. Greetings.
One of the games that got me in to programming and my eventual career today. Trying to recreate the parallax scrolling etc at home on the Atari ST…
Oh my gawd! Finally found this thanks to my hubby! I remembered playing this on an arcade machine in my local shop. Lol 20p and all was great for an hour or 2😊
I tried describing this game to others to see if they remembered what it was called, they kept saying donkey Kong. I'm like nope, that wasn't it!
Took about 30 years to finally have it answered and it still looks as satisfying as I remember! That and bubble bobble were my favourite arcade games. Gonna have to find these on other platforms ❤I'm so happy!!!!😊 thanks for this🤗
This game was so difficult
Con este vídeo recordé mi infancia en las maquinitas
Yo tambien carnal despues de mas de treinta años apenas lo voy hallando lo jugaba en mexico y cuando era adolecente y me llevaron a vivir a usa yo añoraba hallar este juego para comprarlo porque aqui si se podia en mexico era muy caro para jugarlo puesto que tenia que gastar mucho en las maquinitas este juego como me gusta. Vaya que recuerdos.
TAD Corporation solo existio 6 años (1989-1994) y fabrico algunos arcades en su corta historia, entre los mas destacados, TOKI, CABAL, BLOOD BROS, LEGIONNAIRE Y HEATING BARREL. Gracias por traernos el recuerdo de un clasico eterno.... TOKI
22:39: Game Over
22:43: Name Entry
Damn. I remember spending all my money on this game in the arcade. Haha. Loved this game. Good memories 😍
Where did you played it?
nothing says im hanging out at the arcades with no money watching the machines like this game
Reject humanity, become Monke
Like Baby(Dragon ball Gt)
I remember watching this being played in the chippy during lunchtime at secondary school. I couldn't afford to play but often joined a small crowd of kids who would just watch this one older kid get to about level 6 before we'd have to go back to school. He stayed playing and would be late I guess!
This thing brings me sweet memories. Like the 2012 when i used to play this Game on My Aunt's arcade store
2012? Dude i played this game for the very first time when i was like 6 or 7. I am 37 now. Spent 30 plus years looking for this awesome game i didnt even knew the game name i just remembered what it looked like.
With a classic end boss designed purely to suck up quarters.... That ending screen really made me laugh though.. 'Ayy you win, but give us more money!'
Wow! I never could make it past the "Michelin Man"!
I never heard of this,...but it looks cool! Thanks for the upload!
Oh my, this game is quite hard despite is old.
You finished it!!
Awesome classic. Curiously, just a couple of days ago i entered a Toki score competition, just to win. :)
Did you win ?
Yes, i won... by a confortable margin. Scored 400700 points (in hardest, which is better for scoring). Thanks. :)
i used to play when i was kid at game shop secretely from our father in 1988-90
this is definitely some of the best pixel art in all of gaming
Pixel art... Retard concept.
@@rapsi1978 woah
I managed to finish this game using one credit multiple times but I spent a lot of credits while mastering it. Never been that good on the trolleys though. Your performance on the trolleys section the last level was fantastic. Other long and hard games more than 20 years ago I managed to complete using one credit are New Zealand Story, Snow Bros, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (using Mustapha), Captain Commando (using Mack), Final Fight (using Cody), Tumblepop, Funky Jet, Altered Beast, Cabal, King of Dragons (using the sorcerer), Bubble Bobble, Super Qix (beating the game rewards you with one credit to play again), The Punisher (without the immortality bug on level 3 and the last two levels gained by the enemy named Trench), Tant-R Puzzle & Action (one of my favourite games of all time still).
They had this arcade game at our local cafe in 90/91 😄 I remember they also had Three Wonders. Two really good games and wonderful childhood memories 🤗
Never finished, this game reminds me of when I went to school 🤣😅
Eu joguei esse jogo no fliperama qdo tinha uns 12 anos de idade, em 1992...! Saudades desses jogos antigos de arcade!
kkkkkk, eu jogo esse jogo ainda e já tenho 43 anos kkkk.
Wow.. This game looks pretty damn amazing!!
I used to play this game at my local laundromat while my parents do laundry. I miss the old times.😢
I played this awesome game for the very first time back when i was like 6 or 7. I belive this game came out in 1989. Wow so many memories but yeah this game was very hard.
I remember the only time I saw this game in the wild, it was at a random gas station and I remember hopping on it for the five minutes we were getting gas. Definitely a fun one and I’m surprised I remembered it!
17:55 almost cooked Toki. Awesome playing... ❤️
hasta el dia de hoy, sus 20 años despues, todavia me pasa que estoy en una micro o haciendo cualquier cosa, y empiezo a tararear en la mente la melodia del segundo nivel jajajaja que buena cancion, y que buen juego! recuerdo que lo jugue en su momento hasta que llegue al nivel de pasarlo con un credito solamente, con una vida incluso! todo el proceso de llegar a ese nivel fue entretenido, juego rapido y de complejidad suficiente como para mantenerte enganchado sin frustrarte. una joyita!
Childhood memory unlocked: playing toki after elementary at the arcade 😢❤😂
This remember my childhood ,going with my friends to the arkade center and spend all sunday playing ,,,good memories😎
Great game. And the Amiga conversation was outstanding as well.
Amiga conversion was awesome - check my channel for a longplay of that version as well!
Absolute classic platform game, imho. As far as home conversions go, the Amiga version really hits the spot.
Played it on the mega drive
Nah fam. Genesis port.
The Amiga version is hindered by 1 button controls, so no.
@@eins2001 It's not a port. It's more of a remake than anything else.
@@solarflare9078 Version 1.1 of the WHDload patch for this game enabled 2-button support back in 2004. Most people complaining about Amiga games only supporting single-button joysticks don't even know that WHDload has been a thing for over 20 years now and that you can use two or even 6-button controllers with most games.
Played this game several times at Happy Joe's in Burlington IA. Fun times and some of the best pizza I've ever had.
Goddamn I loved Toki on Amiga back in the early 90's. That and Fire & Ice
JESUS CRIST the first game ive ever played 😳 and twice in my life.
Un grande gioco,ci giocavo in sala giochi negli anni 90,quanti ricordi❤❤❤❤
My father is obsessed with this game
My hometown's local waterslide had this & Altered Beast near the entrance & I always played it when I got the chance. Good times.
LOVE this game. Just got the Retrollector's Edition for switch!
I got this for the switch pick it up everyone
man, at that time when you finished playing Toki at the arcade house, you had to went back home for your atari 2600 :(
I thought at the time the NES was already mainstream.
I bought my brothers Amiga 600 when i was a kid in the 90’s i played this game so much
As a young kid I put so many quarters into this machine lol I had the first three levels memorized 😅
I have played this game on my first computer at 2006. and today i find the name of this game by accident.
It's amazing to be reminded of the old days.
P.S. this game was extremely hard for me
Mitico gioco che non sono mai riuscito a finire. Mi fermavo sempre al terzo quadro
Simple life, simple people, no internet. Feeling nostalgic 😢😓
excelente juego me gusto mucho la verdad no lo había conocido antes, felicidades por tu video éxitos totales
Nunca había visto el final de este hermoso juego siempre se me acaban los créditos
playing this was so cool, loved it
One of my all time favorites
Great music score too!
i first saw this game in a hotel's indoor pool area, right next to SNK's robo army.
it was so bizarre for my little kid brain that i actually lost sleep wondering what the hell it was
I remember playing this game at my pool when i was about 6 or 7, and finding it on nes and sega emulators about 20 years later and being like YESSSS! I seem to remember always choking when i got to the 1st level boss...for some....reason
ファミコンでジュジュ伝説という名前で移植されていますね
クリアはできていませんが、随分頑張ったんですね
18:35 The sound track .. As a kid I used to wait for this point.
Ya no me acordaba de este juego yo siempre lo jugaba en las máquinitas
One Of My Favourite Childhood Game ❤️
I remember playing this video game in the arcade . Back in the day 👍
Now this game would make a heck of a cartoon.
The only game i used to rage at remembered playing it in my old a$$ pc the soundtrack is so nostalgic as well
It's been so long since I played this game I can't even remember the location of the arcade or the time period in which I played it!
Ya me suscribí y liquie oye vale no tendrás un vidio de puros juegos de esos chidotes rompebotones?
You got skills my friend.
Such a grand classic example❤️
I remember a long time ago there was an arcade machine with a long ass line and everybody kept dying. This was the game they kept dying on lmao
Toki is a 1989 shoot 'em up platformer arcade game, or a "run and gun" developed and published in Japan by TAD Corporation and published in North American by Fabtek. It was designed by Akira Sakuma and features elements of tongue-in-cheek humor combined with the action. The player takes control of an enchanted ape who must battle hordes of jungle monsters with energy balls from his mouth. The ultimate goal is to destroy the evil wizard who cast a spell on the title protagonist; thereby transforming him from an ape back into a human, and rescuing the kidnapped princess. The game was ported to several video game consoles and home computers. The game is a typical platformer in which the player must traverse several levels with a miniboss at the end. Despite his apparent handicap, his slowness as an ape, and the fact that almost any attack can kill him, Toki is able to spit powerful shots that will help him in defeating enemies and obstacles that try to slow him down in his mission. There is a timer for each stage.
El soundtrack de este juego es buenísimo, sus canciones transmiten un aura misteriosa y hasta aterradora, pero con buen ritmo.
12:00 Animation increased to 100
Amazing run and game of my childhood. 👍🏻🔥🥲
luv this game. lots of coins spent back then
Yo siempre perdia en la final....gracias x enseñar a pasarlo
Amiga is such an embodiment of the 1990s gaming :)
Amiga music way better
Tad corp was one of the most slept on game companies. Noone talks about them but most of there games were great. Blood bros Being an example.
One of the best games I've ever seen
1:51 Is that Tap-Dancing Crab-Demon?
Edit: Ah, so it's called "Garnidare" 21:46.
Is that nightmare? Is that true nightmare?
I feel like I saw this game on about 5 episodes of Nick Arcade, but never played by someone who was any good at video games or for longer than a minute. I suppose 20 minutes is just about enough! Oh what flippant ending text! I don't think I have seen another game of this type accuse a victorious player of just being lucky.
not into old platform games with the exception of a few metrovania games, so I'd never play this.
I just wanted to express appreciation for the level of skill the guy playing it shows.
Una partida muy meritoria :) muchas gracias.
Cool and very weird game.
I eventually completed it on MAME with save states, but even then one end-of-level baddy took me for ever.
Hats off to anyone who did it on a single quarter back in the day.
That would have been a legendary feat.
Un juego tan gracioso pero a la vez impone respeto y muy buen escenario, mis respetos un clásico
Omg finally I found the name of this game! I was 7 when I first played it at a liquor store in Los Angeles called Catalina Liquor store in K-town & the liquor store is still there! Where can I buy this game?!
It get a ps4 remaster
Amazing juego después de 22años volverlo a ver 🤓🥲😀😄 muchas gracias
I was 5 years old , i remember that game because its was one of the harder game i played ❤
Good video thank you for sharing 😎🎧🍿🎮🎮🕹️
