Ocean Software’s 1991 Commodore 64 port of the arcade platformer TOKI is receiving an unofficial fan remaster after Davide Bottino spent over two years working on the project.

• Developer: Davide Bottino (a pixel artist and game creator)
• Platform: Commodore 64
• Period: Over 20 months of work

David called Ocean’s work on their original C64 port“Decent and above average” but with crude sprites that left “a lot to be desired”, so he set out to see if he could do a better job. His updates include redrawn and recoloured character sprites (more similar to the arcade originals), new music and sound effects, bug fixes, and improved controls.

Bottino has shared some of his work on Twitter.
