Video Game Reviews of Taito Legends
Customer Review: One of the better classic compilations
Summary: 4 Stars
Taito Legends is a hard compilation to judge. It -- like Midway Arcade Treasures 1 -- mixes early, mid, and late 80s games, and it's just odd to have Electric Yo Yo on the same disc as Operation Wolf. There is, admittedly, a lot of filler -- the old lightgun games don't do well without a lightgun, the scrolling shooters are mostly forgettable, and three Space Invaders games might be too many for one compilation. However, the games span many genres (single-screen and scrolling shooters, adventure, puzzle, action) and the really good games are, well, really good.
Buy this compilation for:
* Space Invaders
* Jungle Hunt
* Bubble Bobble
* Rainbow Islands
* Phoenix
* Colony 7
* Zoo Keeper
* Elevator Action
* Plump Pop
* Rastan
* Super Qix
* New Zealand Story
* Plotting (aka Flipull)
* Tube It
The presentation is great. A lot of attention went towards this package, and it shows.
While there are glaring omissions (Japan and Europe got two compilations, with a total of around fifty games overall), it's a solid compilation. In any case, for the price, it's a steal.
