Toaplan is one of the companies most loved by some of the most veteran users who decades ago saw how, between 1984 and 1994, created some of the most spectacular arcade games in the world, who were able to illuminate our games in the old arcades thanks to some shooters (so it was said then) who stood out for their graphics, music and, above all, gameplay.
Steam and GoG receive the classics
The fact is that accustomed to the premiere of big names like Hogwarts Legacy, dead space Remake and many others, it is strange that titles such as those developed by Toaplan end up arriving on PC so late, which has deployed four launches just a few hours ago. For the first time, players on computers with Windows, Mac and Linux will be able to get hold of these four classics that make up volume 1 of the Japanese company, now extinct but later revived in the hands of other managers.
It must be said, in any case, that although these four releases have been camouflaged under the name of Toaplan Arcade Collection Volume 1 It’s not really a single package given that each of these classics sold separately And yes, at the same price. So all of you who want to get hold of them will cost you a total of 31.16 euros, that is, 7.79 per head.
Now, what are those wonders that you can finally enjoy on computers from now on? Well, write down: Twin Cobra, truxton, out zone and Zero Wing.
Pure and hard-hitting martians
Of all the games that just came to PC, surely the most desired truxton, a spectacular matamarcianos of scroll vertical, spatial setting and that stands out above all for the weapons that we can accumulate and that culminate in a beam that covers practically the entire screen. It is one of those classic names, which you will also surely remember for a superb version for Mega Drive that was highly celebrated at the time.
Twin Cobra is not far away either, a title in which we drive a helicopter that has to cross a map infested with enemiesboth on land and in the air and that came to the arcades in 1987, a year before the aforementioned truxton. Like Zero Wingwhich is surely another of the jewels of the time, from 1989, which changed the scroll vertical by horizontal to create one of the funniest video games of those times along with other names like R-Type, etc
Remember that in addition to these PC games, Evercade launched the first volume for its consoles last December of a cartridge focused on Toaplan classics where you could enjoy two of these classics that are now coming to Steam, such as truxton and Zero Wing, but that added names as classic and superb as Tiger Heli, Alcon, Guardian, Snow Bros, Flying Shark either Teki Paki.
So now you know, if you want to binge on arcade classics from the late 80s and early 90s, go to Steam and start getting this one. Toaplan Arcade Collection Volume 1 which was put up for sale yesterday, Valentine’s Day.
