About this product

Product Information

Classic arcade games still hold their charm, and the "Taito Legends" is no exception. This collection of games was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC with a release date of October 2005. Taito Corporation originally developed these games and licensed them to Sony. "Taito Legends" games dominated the market in the 1980s and early 1990s and still offer arcade fans the same fun and experience. It also includes interviews with the creators and the developers as well as the original artwork. Throw away the responsibilities of adulthood and go back to a time where you'd play these treasures after school with friends.The "Taito Legends" compilation features up to 29 different classic games to let you relive the experiences and fun memories of the arcade game genre. The retro systems of the day were an introduction to the world of gaming entertainment, and they hold fond memories for many of today's adults. With various levels of difficulty and different platform types, you can avoid boredom and switch everything up. This collection of video games appeals to various types of players. Fans of the 80s and 90s video titles will remember such classics as "Space Invaders" and "Bubble Bobble." Forgotten classics like "Tube-It" challenged players with head-scratching puzzles while "Exzisus" was a shooter that required quick reflexes. "Exzisus" especially became more wild and hectic as it went on, so the player never dared to let their guard down. The concepts of these legends were simple, but the actual playing was something completely different. Many of these games in "Taito Legends" had steep learning curves, and there was absolutely no hand-holding. While they were extremely difficult to play, they were also incredibly addictive. With this collection, you will have a complete arcade on your PS2. No quarters are necessary to play these games, and you can master them in the comfort of your living room. Some of the titles in this collection had alternate names based on the original country of release. If you don't recognize the name "Space Invaders part II," you will know "Deluxe Space Invaders." Discover new favorites that you never played back in the day. Those that enjoyed "Bubble Bobble" will be sure to spend hours with the game "Plump Pop." Take on "Ninja Kids" and follow that up with "Space Gun" or "Thunder Fox." Some other titles included in this game are "Jungle Hunt," "Zoo Keeper," "Gladiator," "Elevator Action," "Rainbow Islands," and more.Challenge yourself and your family with "Taito Legends" for the Sony PlayStation 2. Dust off that PS2 and throw in this video game compilation. Relive the days where pixelated graphics were considered ahead of their time and side-scroller games were the name of the game. Take a break from role playing, shooters, and virtual reality games, and teach your kids about the madness that was the 80s and 90s. Get them hooked on these classics, and create a family fun night that will have you battling each other into the wee hours of the morning.

    Taito Legends is a Retro Gaming Party, a Late 80's Arcade for your Living Room.

    I have been searching for a while for a means to play one of my favorite arcade games from my youth. I really liked Zookeeper when I was 10 or so. With Retro gaming increasing in popularity, I thought that it might show up with the Super Console X I bought last year, but no such luck. Recently I used Google to search for it and discovered it was included in Taito Legends for X-Box and PS2. I don't have an X-Box but I do have a PS2 with next to no games for it, so buying it for PS2 was an easy choice. There are 29 games total on the disc. I was never a big fan of Space Invaders, but it's in there. Elevator Action and Jungle Hunt are part of the collection also, and I like both of those too, but I could not find Zookeeper anywhere else. And it plays just like I remember in the arcade. I would recommend this collection to anyone that still appreciates these legendary arcade games.

    Great games but one disappointing feature.

    So the collection is great, but I own a MAS stick and purchased this collection with the intention to use my arcade stick so I could have 100% true arcade translation as many of these games were arcade classics. Unfortunately it doesn't work and can only be used with the Dualshock controller. Way bummed out as an arcade nut, however if all you got is the Dualshock it's cool and does the trick. I just wanted the true arcade experience that I had back in the day. Oddly enough Taitio Legends 2 works with the MAS stick so I don't know what that's all about. Good product besides.

  • So happy to have this again!

    I used to play this years ago on our ps2 but sold when we upgraded. We recently decided we wanted to own some older systems again and grabbed a Ps2. We remembered loving this game. Bubble Bobble is a favorite classic game. This disc has so many great classic Taito titles. Shipping was fast and disc was in great shape! Thank you!

  • Even the Thumb Pain is the Same!!

    This totally rocks; I primarily got it for "Elevator Action", which plays exactly like I remember it (and the catchy little tune is lodged in my head once again after 35 years), and, while the other games are hit-and-miss for me, they're just like the arcade versions, which is really all you could ask.

  • Just like the original upright coin classic!!!

    I bought this disc only for the classic game ZOO KEEPER. I absolutely love this game. Sound fades out at times but other than that, I am very pleased!!! I'm hoping they'll release it on one of the newer systems..... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... It also arrived when they said it wouldβ˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†

  • Fun game, well worth the money.

    Multiple games, some pretty good, some so-so, just like most PS2 games that are compilations of dozens of old games. I would recommend this for anyone who owns a PS2.

  • Taito's Compilation Is A Blast! Great Games.

    This Taito 'Blast From The Past' brings back wonderful memories from my youth. The games are exactly as they where at the arcades in the 80's era. Games like Bubble Bobble, Operation Wolf, Rastan, Gladiator and more! For those seeking a nostalgic moment this is it! You cannot go wrong.

  • Review of Taito Legends for PS 2

    If you are a retro gamer, this is a must buy !! Taito was a major developer and publisher of coin-ops and video games for consoles for several decades. If you are familiar with the games of this CD, then you should purchase this great collection.
