I never beat the entire game back in the day and for once, playing without the help of a Game Genie. GG comes in handy with the ones I cursed out endlessly back in the day, like Amazon - which is now one of my most favorites today, with the help of GG.Scotthttp://hystericallyassertive.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-91580043472432883052014-09-09T12:49:29.503-07:002014-09-09T12:49:29.503-07:00Man, what is it with Taito arcade games being gimp...Man, what is it with Taito arcade games being gimped/altered when moved to the Genesis/MD? I guess the company must have wanted to give console owners a different/new/unique experience?<br /><br /><br />As for playing the Lynx version of Toki: if it's easily emulatable, I'll definitely give it a try that way, but other than that? I really can't see myself buying an actual Lynx anytime soon. It's nice to hear this port is a good one, though!<br /><br /><br />I think my most likely course of action, though, will be to play the Fami version via emulation; should I like it, I'll go ahead and pick up the real deal :)thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-83450458514803996742014-09-09T12:46:16.447-07:002014-09-09T12:46:16.447-07:00Ha ha!

You asked about Toki, and ...That's what I do!<br /><br /><br />You asked about Toki, and I would recommend playing it... on the Atari Lynx. It shines on that system, with a chunky resolution but vivid colors and responsive, varied gameplay. It's likely the best platformer on the Lynx, although considering its competition that's not a high honor. <br /><br /><br />The NES version of Toki isn't too bad, but is clearly compromised from the arcade game. The Genesis version is not to be played under any circumstances. They really dropped the ball on this one... the levels are different from the arcade game, without the creative spark, and they're massively ugly besides.TheGameroomBlitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-55093208226906750872014-09-09T09:54:34.919-07:002014-09-09T09:54:34.919-07:00Preferably a state north of Kentucky, more in the ...Preferably a state north of Kentucky, more in the blue states area.
