Toki C64 Remastered gets new footage and it still looks AWESOME

Toki was an awesome arcade shooter platformer that was released way back in 1989 by a designer by the name of Akira Sakuma for systems such as the NES, Sega Mega Drive, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Amiga & Commodore 64. In it you played as an enhanced Ape transformed from a Human that could shoot energy balls from his mouth defeating strange creatures and finally an evil Wizard. Well If you remember this truly great game, you'll be pleased to know that at some point in the near future, you'll be able to play a remastered version which is still in development for the C64 by @DavideBottino!

While we have mentioned Toki Remastered before much to the delight of the C64 community, here's what the Facebook page says about the game from its first announcement to now. "Toki C64 Remastered, featuring 100% redesigned enemies converted directly from the Arcade to be as true as possible. Please note it's just the very first test, so there are several Toki sprites still missing and alignment to fix! Toki C64 Remastered is a fan-made total makeover of the original conversion of the arcade game Toki released by Ocean for Commodore 64 in 1991". 

If everything works out as planned, Toki C64 Remastered will feature:

• - All sprites redrawn from scratch
• - Improved or completely redrawn backgrounds
• - New music and SFX true to the arcade
• - Improved controls
• - Bug fixes
• - All of this will be released on a brand new CRT file you'll be able to download for free.

So yes this is one game we will be watching throughout developments and hope for a non exclusive release at some point during late 2024 or 2025!
