New Old Pixels is proud to announce that it has signed a licensing agreement with Microids to bring Toki, the cult arcade game originally created by TAD Corporation in 1989, to original retro hardware.
These ports will be released as physical editions for the original hardware. New Old Pixels is currently evaluating several classic platforms based on Motorola 68000 and Zilog Z80 processors.
