If these still don’t do enough to lure you in, the seminal 1979 release Lunar Lander is a difficult yet enjoyable piece of true retro gaming. Puzzle fans will have their hands full with Cleopatra’s Fortune and Puzzle Bobble 2, though the latter is missing some music. Oddball entries such as Raimais were outdated even for their time, and are more filler than anything else. The same goes for the massively disappointing Rastan sequel, Nastar.
The only thing missing from this must have compilation is some extra content. There are no pictures, interviews, or text fact sheets to accompany the games. Options also feel limited before and after jumping into a chosen title. For instance, the screen aspect ratio is stuck to what the game selection menu says, and cannot be changed after loading. You need to back out of the title to make a switch.
The selection of classic and even a few somewhat modern arcade games is still enough to overcome some front-end issues. Even with only half of the best entries on the disc, this would still be held high amongst the retro community. Be prepared for and extended stay with this collection.
Taito Legends 2 is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Blood and Gore, Violence. This game can also be found on: PC.
