    For 20 quid it's something close to retro heaven. Go on, play it without prejudice. [Xbox World 360]

    The lack of light gun support drags down Operation Wolf, but with games like Elevator Action and Bubble Bobble on board, Taito Legends offers good classic arcade action at a budget price.

    Like having an arcade in your own home. Maybe not the best arcade in town but more like the cheesy one you might recall on the wrong side of the tracks next to the 24-hour bowling alley and laundromat.
  5. GameSpy

    It does a good job of emulating 29 games, but a lot of these games are less than exciting inclusions. Meanwhile, some genuinely classic Taito games are left out.

    Why publishers can't just leave classic titles to die gracefully in the warm glow of our misguided reminiscing, is beyond us. Taito Legends represents the crème of the crop, but it still tastes a little sour with age.

    Space Invaders needs no further justification for ownership.

    Unless your taste in classics runs on the obscure side (hello, "Super Qix"), Taito Legends might be best left in the vault. [Jan 2006, p.71]

    ou reset highscores at all. All of your high scores will be permanently deleted and no load function can fix it. Since they don't explain in the game I have to rate this extremely bad game design very low.    … Full Review »
