One of the best if not the best arcade port ever produced on Amiga 500 (OCS). Insane quality of graphics and sound, memorable melodies and fantastic gameplay. This game shows how great Amiga 500 was even though it was lacking of proper graphics processing unit...
Commodore didn't have a unified game engine source code access and knowledgebase libraries across 3rd party developers. This is why good 1st party studios are important for the game platform's good consistent results.
The Amiga version is stunning , even compared directly against the arcade version. The Amiga version also puts the Mega Drtive version to shame which is something that very rarely happened in regards to arcade conversions
This is actually a well programmed game engine and all the graphics are drawn by hand as nobody ever bothered to ask licensee for the original graphics to use in the world's most powerful graphics package which is Deluxe Paint on Amiga anyway. Probably shares the 16 colour graphics with the Atari ST version as Amiga parallax screens are maximum two layers maximum 8 colours per layer (with Amiga hardware sprites using colours 17-32 of the palette for main sprite). It's more of a problem that the arcade game is nothing special than the Amiga conversion lol
There are several ways to create dual parallax layers in the Amiga e.g. In codetapper.com/amiga/sprite-tricks/risky-woods/ The background layer was created via the multi-instancing sprites feature, hence creating 16 color background. R-Type and Brian the Lion also used the multi-instancing sprites feature to help create a parallax layer.
I'm an Amiga fan and the Amiga version of Toki is really great, probably the best conversion of an arcade game on amiga and the best alternative for home system. But the arcade version stay better.
I sort of have to disagree. I think the amiga port is better and this version has one of the best sound tracks. I think these at least six different sound tracks. The arcade version I believe only has one track.

The amiga version is very impressive, in level 2 (3mn50sec) the parallax side scrolling has one more layer than the arcade...really impressive

Fantástico. Jugué mucho a la versión Amiga y una sola vez a la Arcade. Visto así, la comparación es increíble.
Gracias por el vídeo.
Amiga!!!like
If all arcade ports to the Amiga would have been of this quality back then. This shows the machine was more than capable for it.
Commodore didn't have a unified game engine source code access and knowledgebase libraries across 3rd party developers. This is why good 1st party studios are important for the game platform's good consistent results.
So glad to born in the early 80’s.
An almost perfect one: you would not know you playing on Amiga was not for little details :) AND the music is far better!
The Amiga version is stunning , even compared directly against the arcade version. The Amiga version also puts the Mega Drtive version to shame which is something that very rarely happened in regards to arcade conversions
Silkworm, Pang, Snow Bothers, Rodland, and R-Type are good arcade ports.

I played this in amiga 500 in 1989. Now im playing the remake... great, yeah... but not as good as the amiga 500 port!!
BETTER COLOR ON THE AMIGA VERSION
And way better music ;)
Arcade hardware is superior, Amiga music sounds even better on mute.
Yes, it's better to listen that arcade - nokia ringtone- than the rich amiga sound...
Amiga 500😍😍
First game i played on my a600 👍 loved my Amiga never played any pc/console more than my a600

A500 was insanely advanced for its time. It ended up competing with the 16bit consoles, PCs and even arcade systems from early 90s.
