New Old Pixels and Microids have confirmed new ports of TAD Corporation’s 1989 arcade platformer Toki for three classic systems: the Sega Mega Drive, Neo Geo and Commodore Amiga AGA.
The announcement, shared in October 2026, positions the project as a faithful arcade conversion effort with physical releases planned for each platform.
Toki first launched in arcades in 1989 under developer TAD Corporation.
The game follows the protagonist Toki, transformed into an ape by the evil sorcerer Vookimedlo, on a quest to rescue the kidnapped Miho.
The title is known for its side-scrolling platform action and its idiosyncratic ranged attack—Toki spits at enemies to defend himself—elements that defined the original arcade experience and informed subsequent home conversions.
According to the development duo, New Old Pixels and publisher Microids, the new work targets three legacy formats.
The Sega Mega Drive port will join a lineage that already includes a 1991 Mega Drive/Genesis conversion developed in-house by Sega; New Old Pixels says its goal is to recreate the arcade original’s look and feel more authentically for Sega’s 16-bit hardware.
The Neo Geo build will bring Toki to SNK’s arcade/home platform, and the Commodore Amiga version is explicitly aimed at AGA-equipped machines, indicating development that leverages the Amiga 1200’s Advanced Graphics Architecture chipset.
New Old Pixels co-founder Benjamin Yoris framed the project as core to the studio’s mission, saying the company aims to provide retro systems with conversions of arcade titles they never received at the time.
He added that the team intends to preserve the arcade game’s gameplay, graphics, animations and soundtrack while taking advantage of each platform’s technical capabilities.
Yoris also emphasized a focus on conversion quality, presentation and packaging, with the ambition of delivering collector-grade physical editions for retro enthusiasts.
Both companies note that all three ports are in development and that fully playable physical releases are planned, but no release window has been announced.
The original coverage of the Microids-New Old Pixels collaboration first appeared in early October 2026.
For collectors and retro-platform fans, the announcement is noteworthy: the Mega Drive already has a historic 1991 port, and Amiga fans can expect an AGA-targeted build that specifically addresses the Amiga 1200’s hardware.
Microids and New Old Pixels have said additional details, including release timing and edition specifics, will be disclosed in the coming months through their official channels.
