As a teenager I used to ride my bike (sometimes through rain and snow) to get to the local bowling alley, where I'd spend my paper route money playing games like Jungle Hunt (then called Jungle King and featuring a Tarzan-like character) Elevator Action, Phoenix, Bubble Bobble, Zoo Keeper and of course Space Invaders. This collection accurately recreates those games of years gone by, this time no bike ride or quarters required.

Once again I can spend my Saturday nights with nothing better to do with Space Invaders, a 2 Liter of Faygo and my mix tape of nothing but Rush.

An incredible value!

This is a great collection of 29 games from Taito released by Sega in the US for only $19.99. I love most of these games on this collection, this is the best collection money can buy.

You get many great arcade perfect ports of some of the greatest games. Games like Ninja Kids, Thunder Fox, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Island, New Zealand Story, Elevator Action, Operation - Wolf & many more.

I would've paid over $20 just to get an arcade perfect port of New Zealand Story, but it only cost me .70+ cents in this collection. Try this collection & find out how great games were in the 2D era.

Very high replay value with most of these great games. You get many different kinda games on this collection, it includes some great action, platformer, puzzle, fighting, run & gun, shooters & many more different genres on this collection. This compilation deserves a perfect score.

You will not be disappointed with this collection, if you have to buy one collection then I highly recommend this collection. This is the way a collection should be done. I just hope we see some more great collections like this released soon.

First it was MIDWAY collection 2, then CAPCOM collection and NOW TAITO COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rastan, Tokio, Gladiator, Exzisus, Continental Circus, Space Invaders and it sequels also have COOL ACTION but not insanaty!!!!

New Zealand Story, Rainbow Islands and Jungle Hunt are SOO FUNNY!!! HA,HA,HA!!!!

Taito Legends for the ps2 is truly a great collection of some verry fun games that can be played on your ps2. This collection of some old but fun games , offers the player a trip to the past when these games was king. It also shows the newer players out there of what games was like in the past.
These games might not have all the eye candy and such that most newer ps2 games have . That is not always a bad thing thoe , the graphics for these games are still decent and look good on most current tvs.
Another great thing about this is paying one cost for alot of games packed on to one cd.
If your on a small game budget can not afford a ps3 or a xbox360 or even a nintendo wii but have a ps2 this game is worth picking up. There is just so many games on this cd it will keep you busy for a good while . The games might not be all that hard compared to todays games but will require some skill to play. You will find something in there for sure that will keep you playing one or the other or heck even them all.
If your looking for something to keep the kids busy, something to play to keep you busy then from a gamer who remembers the classic game days . I would say Taito Legends is a worthy game for your collection !

Go back to the 80's again with Taito Legends

Taito Legends for the PS2 brings back fond memories, goingto the local arcadesin the 80's with my brother and friends.We had so much fun playing games like Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Operation Wolf, Space Invaders, and many more. Taito legends brings home those memorable games home to you people who grew up in the 80's. There are a lot of games on this DVD I haven't heard about.There are interviews with the people who developed the games.If you were growing up in the 80's like myself, you'll enjoythese games on this disc. Definitely worth $19.99, you can't go wrong.

I can remind my childhood when I played them usually.
It is so funny even if the games are so simple.

Every Game is Pure Entertainment

When I saw that Taito had put out a retro collection of arcade games, I was excited, but weary of all the games on it that I hadn't heard of. Ironically, the games that I had never played offered exactly what these collections are often lacking: Originality, creativity, and variety. Very few of these games have been constantly remade over and over like those on the first "Midway Arcade Treasures" collection and the "Namco Museum", with the one exception being "Space Invaders", and rightly so. My only gripe is getting used to using the analog sticks to play Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, Battle Shark, and Space Gun, which should be played with a light gun or mouse. This is why I'm actually glad they chose not to include the popular Arkanoid, because I think it should be done with a proper controller or not at all. Overall, this is a fun collection that can easily hold it's own against other similar compilations, even with the few inevitable flaws.

Some Must-Haves and Unknowns

Taito has given us a solid collection of titles, albeit with a toned-down interface and a lackluster quantity of background material. Some interesting omissions in the collection, for example "Qix" is missing but its also-ran sequel Super Qix is included. There are a few errors in judgement which are to be corrected in the rumored second volume of classics. These games play and sound like you remember, and if you're yearning for a little escapism this is a good trip. The playability might be best in small doses here and there, but this is a disc you'll use over and over again long after a "quest" type game lies beaten gathering dust. Great for a party atmosphere, especially if you have friends over 30. Recommended!
