kevin242 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I just got a copy of Taito Legends for the PC.. It's very slick and the emulation is flawless... great selection of games, but didnt Taito do Arkanoid??? I can't find it on here!!!! That really sucks because I love that one. Anyway Taito legends is great well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) the inclusion of lightgun games and stinkers like Battle Shark.. and the omission of chase hq and a puzzle bobble/bust a move game are my ONLY issues with it. Can't wait to pick it up Question though, where did you manage to find yours a day early? Edited October 25, 2005 by liquid_sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Oh how I crave to play this collection ASAP! My love of Bubble Bobble knows no bounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 No Taito Legends around here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I would pick it up tomorrow, but I can't afford that and Soul Calibur 3, so next week then. I do agree, though, where is Arkanoid? That's a sin, omitting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 They've omitted a lot of popular stuff like Qix. Bet it gets a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The original Qix IS in one of the two Taito Memories discs for the PS2. I think it's funny how we have 3 taito 'classics' releases.. each with different, but often overlapping games. It makes you have to get them all. I just tried the PC Taito Legends. The sound is Phoenix still sounds wrong to me. But yknow, it's been years now. And all these years of being assaulted by the horrible Mame version's poor emulation of it has officially corroded my memory to the point that I'm not even sure anymore of how it was supposed to sound in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanukitsune Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 There is already a Taito Legends 2 in the making, which should arrive in the first quarter of 2006, I think... I got mine in the mail last week, the weird thing is that the installation program was in Spanish, yet no Spanish game stores carry this game and it apparently WON'T be released here... The contest thing is cool, yet unfair, it's not only for UK users, but only UK users have the chance of getting all the postcards without purchasing several copies of the game...

And I've had someone confirm that the PC version is using MAME ROM images and naming conventions, which lends some weight to the argument.

Jess Ragan Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 What's the full list of titles on this collection? I want to buy this, but I'm a little apprehensive, since it was developed by Atomic Planet. Some folks weren't too happy with their last classic game compilation, Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

Jess Ragan Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Poor, poor Europe. They're always left to pick up the table scraps after America and Japan has finished gorging themselves on the world's best video games. The only region that's given less respect by game developers is Australia! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaineMaxwell Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) Just got this yesterday for the PS2 and loving it! Been playing mostly Bubble Bobble, Elevator Action, Zoo Keeper and Rainbow Islands for now. Operation Wolf was as good as I remember but I have a question- does the targeting cursor seem to automattical slide to the bottom right of the creen for you even if you're not holding it in any directions?

Spoon Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ever since I was a very little kid, I've been waiting for the ability to play Zoo Keeper on a console. Thank god they've finally released it. Now if we can just get Data East to release Hippodrome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game's been getting more playtime on Legends than anything else right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Zoo Keeper is best played with the volume of your television or stereo cranked way up, so you can fully appreciate the raw sound effects that raise the tension of the gameplay through the roof. Despite the family-friendly premise, this game's got a mean streak as vicious as anything Williams released in the early 1980's! By the way, 1,129,750 is my best score so far. Can anyone beat it?

Justin42 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Taito Legends doesn't like my modded Xbox.. hangs at the Space Invaders load screen... sigh. :/ Seems like this is happening more often, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe had a similar issue. Guess it's time to hook up the non-modded unit a little more permanently.. (hopefully it works on that one!) (it's an old v1 with an old xtender chip so a Bios upgrade is a little out of the question AFAIK) (Note: this is a LEGITIMATE purchased Taito Legends, please no lectures about piracy, it's not applicable!)

+Random Terrain Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 In case anyone cares, here is the web site for Taito Legends: http://www.taitolegends.com/ And here's the one for Capcom Classics Collection: http://www.capcomclassics.com/ I just got Capcom Classics Collection and it seems like Bionic Commando was more fun on the NES. Maybe I'll change my mind after I play it some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Have not got this yet, but talk about classic gaming goodness. All these collections for us classic gamers. Justin42... Does the game still lock up if you "turn off" your chip? If it does, chances are your chip is not the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 it seems like Bionic Commando was more fun on the NES. Maybe I'll change my mind after I play it some more. Bionic Commando was definitely one of the best games made on the NES, but the arcade version was absolutely terrible. Unless you can associate playing that game with a fond memory, I don't think you'll be able to change your mind on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
