SEGA of America today announced that it has signed an exclusive North and South American distribution agreement with Empire Interactive to publish Taito Legends for the PlayStation 2, the Xbox from Microsoft, and the PC. This exciting compilation features 29 arcade classics and spans nearly 30 years of gaming history.
Long-time video game fans can re-live fond memories of their first arcade experiences with Space Invaders (1978), Jungle Hunt (1982), Zoo Keeper (1982), and Elevator Action (1983). Players weaned on prior console ports of Bubble Bobble (1986), Operation Wolf (1987) and Rastan (1987) can finally play these games at home exactly as they appeared in arcades. And everybody will enjoy discovering forgotten classics like the addictive puzzler Tube-It (1993) and the hectic shooter Exzisus (1987).
“We are proud to partner with Empire Interactive to deliver the most extensive collection of arcade classics ever to be offered on a single disc,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Entertainment Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. “Taito’s library of games are as fun to play today as they were when they dominated arcades in the 80’s and 90’s.”
