When it comes to classic arcade developers, names like Sega, Namco, and Taito are widely recognized. However, Toaplan, though lesser-known in the West, has been a significant player in Japan with influential releases. Now, with Amusement Arcade Toaplan, this developer's rich back-catalogue comes to iOS and Android, bringing arcade classics right to your fingertips.
Amusement Arcade Toaplan offers a straightforward way to enjoy 25 classic games from Toaplan. While many of these titles may not be familiar to Western audiences, the collection includes a diverse and intriguing lineup of shoot 'em ups and other notable releases. A standout feature is the ability to play the arcade shoot 'em up classic, Truxton, completely free, along with demos of five other games.
But that's not all—Amusement Arcade Toaplan lets you dive deeper into the nostalgia by allowing you to design and create your own personal 3D arcade. This feature, while not as immersive as some free-roaming 3D experiences, adds a unique touch to the collection, letting you customize your gaming environment much like the popular Steam releases that transform desktops into digital gaming rooms.
