Empire wins publishing rights to Taito’s Arcade Classics
Empire, the leading AIM listed computer game developer and publisher, today announced that it has signed the US and European rights to publish Taito Arcade Classics, a compilation of Taito’s 30 greatest titles from the past 25 years.
Included in the massive retro gaming collection are such classic games as Space Invaders, Operation Wolf, Rainbow Islands and Bubble Bobble. The game will be published on PS2, Xbox and PC and is scheduled for launch in 2005.
Space Invaders
Operation Wolf
Bubble Bobble
Rainbow Islands
that leaves around 26 titles to discover! What would you like to see inside this one? I personally would love to have Rastan, and New Zealand Story.
Anyway, this one already looks a very promising collection.

If they don't release Don Doko Don they are idiots and whats the betting they don't.
Fairyland Story, Chack 'n' Pop, New Zealand Story and Liquid Kids would be nice.
I think NZS is the only one with a chance.

Yay for Bubble Bobble! I have fond memories of playing that as a kid.
I'd really like to see the entire RayForce/Storm/Crisis -trilogy in there. At least the first game, since it never got a PSX release. Some Darius games would be cool, too.

No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

That's about it for recognizable Taito names for me. I don't want any more than this either. I doubt they'll all make it, but dang, I need Elevator Action Returns, Puzzle Bobble 2, and Arkanoid 2 at least.

I'd personally like to see an Arkanoid collection, especially considering that next year will be the 20th anniversary of the first game in the series.
Beyond that, I'd really like to see Rastan.
Of course, Tatio have made so many classic games over the years that they could probably release a volume for every letter in the alphabet!

Never heard of it?It's an F3 prototype game recently emulated, by the Pulirula/The New Zealand story designers.super-cute and funny, i'd add.For the rest, a few F3 games that didn't it to PSX or Saturn (Bubble Memories, Akkanvader, something else i'm forgetting).

Chomsky, Buckminster Fuller, Yunus and Glass would have played Battle Garegga, for sure.

It was also the worst side scrolling beet'em up I've ever played. This coming from a person who loved the original Renegade (which most people hate).LoneSage wrote:Now wasn't Target: Renegade developed by Taito? It was like a pseudo-sequel to Renegade, it didn't have anything to do with Kunio and the gang.
