When it comes to classic arcade developers, most of us are familiar with the big names like Sega, Namco, and Taito. However, one lesser-known but highly respected developer is Toaplan. While they were popular in Japan and their releases were influential, they didn't gain much recognition in the West—until now. With the arrival of Amusement Arcade Toaplan on iOS and Android, you can now experience the back-catalogue of this iconic developer right in the palm of your hand.
Amusement Arcade Toaplan offers a straightforward way to enjoy 25 classic games from Toaplan. Although many of these titles might not be immediately recognizable to Western players, they feature a diverse and intriguing lineup of shoot 'em ups and other great releases. One standout is the arcade shoot 'em up classic, Truxton, which you can play completely free. Additionally, you can sample five other demos to get a taste of what Toaplan has to offer.
But that's not all—Amusement Arcade Toaplan also lets you unleash your creativity by designing your own personal 3D arcade. Much like the popular Steam releases that transform your desktop into a digital gaming room, this app allows you to craft your own arcade space to enjoy these classic games. While it may not offer the same level of immersion as some free-roaming 3D experiences, it's a delightful addition to this collection of arcade classics.
