When it comes to classic arcade developers, names like Sega, Namco, and Taito often come to mind. However, Toaplan, though less known in the West, has been a significant force in Japan with their influential releases. Now, with Amusement Arcade Toaplan, iOS and Android users can dive into this developer's back-catalogue right in the palm of their hands!
Amusement Arcade Toaplan is a straightforward yet exciting app that emulates 25 classic games from Toaplan. While many of these titles might not be familiar to Western audiences, the collection offers a diverse and intriguing lineup, particularly for fans of shoot 'em ups and other classic genres.
One of the highlights of this app is the ability to play the arcade shoot 'em up classic, Truxton, completely free of charge. Additionally, you can sample demos of five other games. But the fun doesn't stop there—you can also unleash your creativity by designing your own 3D arcade layout!
**Insert coin**
Much like the popular Steam releases that transform your desktop into a digital gaming room, Amusement Arcade Toaplan not only lets you enjoy these classic arcade games but also allows you to craft your own personalized arcade space. While it may not offer the same level of immersion as some free-roaming 3D experiences, it's a charming addition to this collection of timeless classics.
