- Amusement Arcade Toaplan brings arcade classics to the palm of your hand

- Design your own personal arcade to play them in!
When it comes to classic arcade developers most of us know the big ones like Sega, Namco and Taito, one of the lesser-known but still respectable developers is Toaplan. Popular in Japan their releases were influential, but not too well known over here in the West. Until now that is, as Amusement Arcade Toaplan with a collection of top classic games arrives on iOS and Android!
Amusement Arcade Toaplan then, is pretty straightforward, as it emulates 25 classics from this developer in the palm of your hand. While most are likely not all that recognisable to Western players they do boast a pretty diverse and interesting lineup of shoot 'em ups and other great releases.
And one can hardly argue with the variety on offer here, especially considering that you'll be able to play arcade shoot 'em up classic Truxton completely free, and sample five other demos. Oh, and did we mention that you'll also be able to create and design a layout for your own 3D arcade to boot?
Yes, much like the bevvy of Steam releases that let you turn your desktop into a digital gaming room, Amusement Arcade Toaplan not only lets you enjoy classic arcade releases but also design your own little arcade to play them in. And while it may not be as immersive as the aforementioned free-roaming 3D entries, it's definitely a neat little addition to this collection of classics.
