At first this seems like a bizarre concept - you have been turned into an ape by a wizard who has also stolen your girlfriend. Sound familiar? This is a beat-'em-up with shooting bits and tons of variety.

The programmers have done an amazing job. Toki is a faithful conversion of the arcade game, from the formations of the aliens to the colour schemes on the volcanoes. All of which means that this is one hell of a scorching Lynx cartridge.

There are two main ways of defeating the woodland animals and monsters who stand in your path - you can blow them to bits with your in-built gorilla-gun or just jump on their heads. There are crash helmets to protect you from bullets, trainers so you can jump higher and coins to boost end-of-level bonuses.

Toki is totally addictive. Once you've battled your way past the first end-of-level guardian, you won't put your Lynx down until the batteries or the national grid fails. It's fun, playable and huge. No collection is complete without Toki.
