An unreleased cartridge A quite good Arcade game for GX4000/CPC+from TAD Corporation.
A supposed screenshot was shown in Amstrad Action Home computer ports were executed by [[Ocean Software|Ocean]] (although famous for this may have been a mock upkind of production).
This '''Toki''' is an unreleased cartridge game for the [[GX4000]] and [[Plus]] range of machines. Two supposed screenshots were shown in ''[[Amstrad Action]]'' (although they may have been mock-ups). The game is believed to have not been finished. Some advertisements claimed that the GX4000 cartridge version would be released alongside [[Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]] ports, but it ended as [[Category:Vaporware|Vaporware]].The same goes for the [[ZX Spectrum]] version, which managed to get pictures in the ZX Spectrum press, but ended as vaporware as well. The main problem is that this game could have been a bit too ambitious for an 8-bit system.The [[Commodore 64]] port (the only 8-bit home computer port to be released) wasn't that bad at all. But one of the main difficulties was the large and numerous sprites or Bosses used in the Arcade game. It was coded by [[DJL|David Looker]]. It is rumoured that one level was running and a larger sized cartridge would be required, but Ocean said "no". [[Retro Gamer]] issue 126 (March 2014) had an article 'The Amstrad CPC Games That Time Forgot' which had a small section on Toki and there was a screenshot of the main character sprites. [[GGP]] announced in 2019 that they were developing a conversion of ''Toki'' for the Amstrad CPC. It was eventually released on 29th October 2022 and was rated 88% by ''Retro Gamer'' in issue 241. == Screenshots == The screenshots below featured in the June 1991 issue (#69) of ''Amstrad Action''. <center><gallery style="clear: both">Image:Toki_Screen1_AmstradAction.jpgImage:Toki_Screen2_AmstradAction.jpg</gallery></center> [[Category:Games]][[Category:Vaporware]]
