    Taito Milestones is a trip back in time, bringing classics from TAITO's portfolio to all those who are interested in knowing a little bit of what games were like in a very distant decade.

    This is fine, I guess? Most of the games included have not aged well at all, with the exceptions being The Ninja Warriors, Qix, and to some extent, Halley's Comet. The rest are just not that much fun to play today.

    It's hard to recommend this collection to anyone who is simply curious about Taito's early output. Unless you have real nostalgia for at least three or four of the included games, I'd skip this collection.    … Expand

    Ultimately these games come from an era that will always be overlooked before the likes of Nintendo and Sega came along and catapulted gaming along the path where it has got to today, and that is commendable. It is a backhanded compliment to the era that these games are so out of date.

    These games feature the standard options and the emulation is genuinely solid in most cases. I had fun diving into each game, but again only a couple warranted a repeat viewing. This feels more like Taito Obscurities as opposed to Milestones. For the price it ends up cheaper than picking up each game individually, but that is assuming you want all ten games. As a collection this feels more like an afterthought than a solid purchase.

    The two games that are exclusive are not worth the price at all. But if you don’t have any of these titles in your library or are missing a few, then this is a cost effective collection that can provide a lot of fun! As I stated before, there are no extras or exclusive modes or options included with this release. It is a strictly barebones presentation made up of mostly previously released titles. Not a bad collection for some, but a waste of time for others. All in all, a somewhat lazy and underwhelming release.
