Toaplan's Amusement Arcade: Classic Games Now in Your Hand

When it comes to classic arcade developers, names like Sega, Namco, and Taito often come to mind. However, Toaplan, a lesser-known yet highly respected developer, has been a significant player in Japan with influential releases that have not been as widely recognized in the West. That's about to change with the launch of Amusement Arcade Toaplan, now available on iOS and Android, bringing a collection of top classic games right to your fingertips.

Amusement Arcade Toaplan offers a straightforward experience, emulating 25 of Toaplan's classics directly on your mobile device. While many of these titles might not be immediately recognizable to Western players, the lineup boasts a diverse and intriguing selection of shoot 'em ups and other notable releases. One standout is the iconic shoot 'em up Truxton, which you can play for free, along with five other demos to sample.

But that's not all—Amusement Arcade Toaplan also allows you to unleash your creativity by designing your very own 3D arcade layout. Similar to the digital gaming rooms you can create on Steam, this feature lets you personalize your gaming environment, though it may not be as immersive as some of the free-roaming 3D experiences out there. Nonetheless, it's a delightful addition to this collection of arcade classics.
