The History of Toki - arcade console documentary

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

Two Versions of TOKI Were Featured as "Video Challenge" Games on NICK ARCADE... The NES Version in Season 1, and the Sega Genesis Version in Season 2

[@kyleolson8977]

I didn't hear "happy little games" (in human), but what makes me happy is seeing another of your videos. Many creators have more technical wizardry or flash, but you put a smile on my face. You are great example of both the human spirit and terrible jokes. And you bowl better than I ever could. (True story: When I was a kid I was in a summer bowling league, but I was so bad the moved me down an age bracket). Toki is a great example of the last really magical age of video games. In the post-crash years there was a wide variety of arcade focused experiences which were not all cookie cutter. For these years, even though they shared a quarter eating desire, there a lot of different games like Toki being made. I think the Midway games and Atari games are some of the best examples from this time. It was inevitable that this would end when the arcade hardware was not much (or at all) better than the home hardware, and as people desired gameplay that didn't require eating quarters to make sense. As this gap decreased, arcades found their hits with social games that people would play while out with others(Fighters and Beat'em ups) and/or experiences you couldn't get at home (racing cockpits, guns, golf clubs).

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Well I appreciate that, yes my whole shtick is terrible jokes. Thank you

[@julianjv7325]

When i was a kid i play the nes toki version, the game came in one nintendo cartridge of 100 games in one, thanks PatmanQC for bringing me back this memories of my childhood.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

This arcade was in almost every arcade saloon in Argentina, I played so many times. Great video.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you very much

[@PuertoRicanChuckles]

I was fortunate to play the Arcade cabinet when i was younger. Was an instant fan and excited to play for Genesis and NES

[@ZEMO74]

I played it in the arcade too. One of the first arcade games I actually beat.

[@sacend1]

The arcade cabinet was in my local bar in France we absolutely loved it !! but it was really tough though !!!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes it was

[@Lastjustice]

The one thing I always wondered about this game.... How powerful was Toki the Warrior prior to being turned into a firespitting monkey? We never get a scale of his original power level to decide whether what he got turned into was an upgrade or a downgrade not. I mean did he spit fire in his human form? I feel like they should made his original form as unlockable playable character in the remastered version to answer this question.

[@bikesnmore]

Maaaate. Great choice! I could go through on 1 credit back in Grade 9 (born in 76) when this came out in the Australian arcades. Luv your work

I played this a whole bunch at the arcade in "Circus Circus", the one in Las Vegas, Nevada (there is another in Reno). Up until 2000, Las Vegas had massive arcades, with many test market releases, rare, or otherwise had to find arcade video games to be found.

"Never seen an arcade cabinet", uh, I ONLY saw it in the arcade, LOL! Up here in Canada.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Lucky you :-)

[@jordanjackson6151]

Truth be told; many home ports of older games coexisted with pre-existing arcade counterparts that had very few models made. Darius 1 and 2, E-Swat, and Gainground are all console ports that I have in some form. There arcade cabinets however? Not a lot of them were made. Hell. Darius 1st and 2 had revolutionary cabinets inspite the few that there were. And E-Swat was a common case of the Arcade original being a different game, though there was an underdeveloped port for the Amiga. Old school gaming secrets pre online gaming and annoying DLC era is much more entertaining to unearth. People who think PS1, N64, Sega Saturn and the like are old school, (even though I like them - especially Saturn). Should take a chance with an era that was both great and unique because of limitations.

[@WEHRWULF8814]

Toki is another favorite of mine. The local Pizza Hut had a Toki machine in 1990, and I was surprised with the cartoon sound effects! The lynx version is my favorite Toki conversion, they did an excellent job.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes they did

Great video thanks! I also discovered this on the Amiga after it reviewed well in UK magazines. Great memories led me to the NES and genesis versions 25 years later. Still meaning to get the switch remake. Amazing game. Your content is very professionally delivered. Subscribed 👍

Great review. I loved this one in the arcade so much as a kid I ended up buying the arcade PCB years later. Great game.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Awesome, thank you

[@BlackArroToons]

Great Toki History PatmanQC! I played the arcade and recently got the PS4 Remake, which I noticed has green vines to climb instead of tan vines. Very cool to learn of the different versions. Very tough game but as you said, the patterns can be remembered. Cool that the bosses can be quickly overpowered with rapid firing from Toki.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you my friends, never played it on PS4 but the steam version is currently on sale for two dollars

[@opa-age]

This was such a weird game, it was so unique, came from nowhere, and we never got any kind of sequel despite how successful it was.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes, the original was really good though

[@joshuachristian5443]

There was a mini golf course I would pass by walking home from school when I was 13 and sometimes I would stop in its arcade . I saw the game cabinet there and the cartoon sound effects are what caught my attention. Especially the "BOING" sounds the giant eyeballs made.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, straight out of a cartoon

[@johndd9140]

Thanks for this video -Toki was a fantastic game! I had it on the Atari ST and Lynx, and played it in an arcade. The music in the 7800 version must have caused headaches, probably why it was abandoned 😉

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, that could be the reason

[@BargainBarons]

I TOTALLY remember playing the ARADE Toki, at "Johnny Zee's" arcade in Victoria BC, Canada in the late 80a to early 90s.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

They were pretty hard to find around here

[@dthought42]

Played this a lot at a grocery store in south TX back in the early 90s. Right next to a sf2 hack job where everyone threw homing fireballs and a 4 slot neo geo with world heroes and king of the monsters 2.

[@dapdaddy10]

I remember the video game arcade in 1989 like yesterday. I remember exactly what happened to toki. After the teenage mutant ninja turtles by Konami dropped in arcades later that year. Everybody from that generation completely forgot about toki until this documentary popped up 30 years later.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Now that was one game that was in literally every arcade I went to

[@angusmacfrankenstein7227]

Gonna have to find this-just the description of those bosses reminds me of how wildly imaginative the 80’s era of gaming can be! I don’t make requests of anyone often, but I’d like to make one now: I’d like to see you take on _Ninja Baseball Batman!_ It’s not an easy game to find, and I’ve only played the game in a very glitchy form, but from what I saw of that game, there’s a wonderful madness at work in that arcade cabinet!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I have played it, just because it had Batman in the title. It's something I can look look into

[@CVRJM]

Another great videa Patrick. Toki was quite a regular fixture in British arcades back in the day and there was certainly a lot of excitement when the home computer ports were being previewed in magazines, but as a then ZX Spectrum owner, I was disappointed to read months later that Ocean cancelled that and the Amstrad CPC versions of it. All was not lost however as I got an Atari STe the same christmas and soon after that, picked up that version for half price at my local WH Smith's. Having played that and the Amiga version, I'll opt for the ST as my favourite of the two only because there's a suprising amount of polish that went into it that rarely features in Atari ST games in terms of programming and overall presentation outside of the likes of software houses like Thalion. The reason..? Much like Thalion's games, the ST version of Toki was prgrammed by an established demoscener who at the time called themselves "M-Coder".

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thank you. I played both versions and preferred the Amiga version due to the better sound and slightly better graphics. I never knew who coded the ST version so thanks

[@dwightdixon8508]

Thoroughly enjoyed Toki on the Lynx in the 90’s and was my introduction to Toki. The NES version was pretty impressive. Huge Genesis fan but wasn’t aware of the Genesis version till much later, also a solid version.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

The Atari Lynx version was fantastic, I had it as a kid. Really showed the power of the machine. The gameboy couldn't do anything close to that.

[@helldog3105]

I have the collector's edition of Toki for the Switch. It came in a big box with some art cards and I think a little cardboard kit to make some 3d item? I don't know. It was the only way I could get the game locally, so I just took the game box out of the big box, and then stored the collector's box away out of the heat and air. The newer version is quite fun. This was one of the few arcade games I enjoyed playing back in the day.

[@Tigerlord4835]

The item was to make a mini arcade cabinet you put your Switch into.

[@Bardivus]

I have a very specific memory regarding Toki. It was the first arcade game i would sit and watch the Demo for hints, Since you only get one hit, it could make what limited quarters I had go quickly.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Very cool, I was too impatient to try that
