INTRODUCTION
Taito Corporation pioneered coin-operated arcade games and created the computer games industry we know today.
From the revolutionary and seminal Space Invaders in 1978, through Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands, not forgetting
classics such as The New Zealand Story and Operation Wolf, hit after hit has made Taito one of the leading coin-op
manufacturers and developers of the past 25 years.
Taito Legends offers arcade-perfect versions of an unprecedented selection of titles from the Taito stable. This is the
strongest and most varied collection of arcade games ever assembled.
This isn’t just a collection of classic games; it’s a little piece of gaming history!
