Video Game Reviews of Taito Legends
Customer Review: Great if you love the titles!
Summary: 4 Stars
No problem working on my Vista Dell 2.4 w/1 meg RAM. I also had no problems at all using a 20 dollar Logitech dual action controller.
It has basic easy menu letting you scroll through the titles on the bottom & seeing their look as arcade stand alone cabinet. It has old flyer art & other minor video/audio options. To change controller buttons or keys on keyboard, you have to do it separately for every game, though thankfully once you do the settings it remembers it for the future. The first person shooter games has you use the mouse for aiming, though the controller stick works, it does move too wildly. The game requires the CD for every use. You start every game using F3 (coin) & F1 (start) like other emulators which means you can keep continuing.
Games include:
* Battle Shark - large graphics underwater shooter that feels very slow, at least the first level & I did not like it personally.
* Bubble Bobble -- NES classic game of capturing enemies w/bubbles & killing them by jumping w/simple non-moving screens for each level. Personal favorite.
* Colony 7 - space shooter w/almost no graphics, pre-defender feel. Just a crosshair w/very fast moving tiny alien ships attacking tiny city at bottom.
* Continental Circus - post Atari 2600 Pole Position driving game, better graphics w/pit stops & damage meter.
* Electric YoYo - A puzzle style game where you grab things like pac-man & avoid enemies, but you move using yoyo physics in a way
* Elevator Action - vertical slow-scrolling shooter in a building
* Exzisus - side scrolling adventure guy flying in spacesuit shooter in space who shoots both across & down at the same time
* Gladiator - large character side scrolling w/sword use high, med & low
* Great Swordsman - fencing in tournament style w/sword use high, med & low
* Jungle Hunt - like original Atari 2600 version w/larger characters & better graphics
* New Zealand Story - a super Mario wannabe w/childlike main character being a baby chick.
* Ninja Kids - VERY FUNNY scrolling adventure w/several kids to choose to be (only 1 at a time)w/different weapons like TMNT. You save world from Satan & his floating worshipers in robes (some in pink). There are very round fat guy who does somersaults & squish you, friend turns to a werewolf & pack of wolfs run across the screen too. If you stay in the street to long, you are hit by a car. If you're hit by a worshiper or by a terrorists' molotov cocktail, you turn black except for blinking eyes. On the second level, you climb the walls w/worshipers in every window hurling items at you & tarantulas the size of humans coming at you. When you reach the top, big body builder guys pose & smile before they attack you & have a shocked expression when hit. At another area, hunchback zombies fall from the sky constantly & also looks like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street in a three piece suit. That's only the first 3 levels.
* Operation Thunderbolt - 1st person shooter that uses mouse to aim against terrorists. The enemies on foot, helicopters & tanks are VERY large & come straight at you only. Only enemies & few dogs.
* Operation Wolf - Same thing as above, but a side scroller, with smaller enemies, more of them & more spread out. Also a lot more innocents like nurses carrying patients, little boys, blonds in bikinis, animals & village woman running. There are only 6 missions.
* Phoenix - Just like the original Atari 2600 game but better graphics. Space shooter with enemies that move fast like flying birds & ufo's.
* Plotting - a Bejeweled like puzzle game where you throw blocks w/stamped shapes on it to match to remove them. You lose a life when there is no more of the shape that you are holding.
* Plump Pop - A cross between Atari 2600 Circus & Breakout/Arkanoid game.
* Rainbow Islands - sort of a Bubble Bobble twist where you shoot small rainbows to kill enemies & walk on to get higher to goal.
* Rastan - A barbarian style side scroller adventure.
* Return of the Invaders - Much better graphics but same as the original Invaders. One enemy can shoot 4x faster then you can move.
* Space Gun - exactly like the Aliens movie enemies. First person shooter w/large characters, save humans kill several types of aliens in futuristic space station.
* Space Invaders - in all it's slow as soup pace & B&W glory!
* Space Invaders Part II - oohhh, 5 colors now & it fires faster then someone can walk!
* Super Qix - run lines to draw boxes to uncover the photo. You have gremlins moving fast & skulls along the edges to always get you so you are never safe.
* ThunderFox - side scrolling action where your kicks can kill 5 guys in a row as you sail in air
* Tokio - a Japanese bi-plane shooter like 1941 but the graphics are bad in that it's hard to distinguish where the bullets are from the land/buildings & ground enemies.
* Tube It - puzzle game that's like Tetris w/plumbing, requires a lot of thought
* Zoo Keeper - Atari 2600 graphics where you run in circles to keep escaped animals penned & then the next screen you jump & glide up like original Mario Bros. or Donkey kong to jump up platforms to save the girl while little monkey throws coconuts.
* Volfied - like Super Qix, but you are safe on the sides & it has 1 large creature (who can fire as well) & several small ones to get you. Power ups to box around help, so it's almost an adventure w/strategy feel.
If you need more info, try youtube, some upload some game play or many other sites. I didn't love many of these, but I got it for 5 so I can't complain & whether you like it is a matter of opinion.
