When you think of classic arcade developers, names like Sega, Namco, and Taito often come to mind. However, one of the lesser-known yet highly respected developers is Toaplan. Popular in Japan, their releases have been influential but not as well-known in the West—until now. With the arrival of Amusement Arcade Toaplan on iOS and Android, you can now bring the excitement of Toaplan's arcade classics right to the palm of your hand!
Amusement Arcade Toaplan offers a straightforward way to emulate 25 of Toaplan's classic games. While many of these titles might not be immediately recognizable to Western players, they showcase a diverse and intriguing lineup, including shoot 'em ups and other standout releases. One highlight is the inclusion of the iconic arcade shoot 'em up, Truxton, which you can play for free, along with demos of five other games. And the fun doesn't stop there—you can also design your own 3D arcade layout to enjoy these classics in a personalized setting!
**Insert coin** Just like the popular Steam releases that let you transform your desktop into a digital gaming room, Amusement Arcade Toaplan not only lets you dive into classic arcade games but also allows you to create your very own arcade environment. While it may not offer the same level of immersion as some free-roaming 3D experiences, it's a delightful feature that enhances this collection of timeless games.
