While the Western
Taito Legends consists of 29 arcade games, the Japanese
Taito Memories includes only 25 arcade games per volume, omitting
Jungle Hunt,
Colony 7,
The Electric Yo-Yo,
Zoo Keeper and
Tube It. Between 2005 and 2007, in total four similar compilations had been released by Taito for the PlayStation 2 in its home market of
Japan: • • • • The games on this compilation are emulations of their respective arcade originals; however, the software lacks
light gun support for
Operation Wolf,
Operation Thunderbolt, and
Space Gun. These games place a gun cursor on the screen, which the player can move around with the analog stick (console versions), or mouse (PC version). The games that had to be altered due to licensing issues are
Jungle Hunt and
Rainbow Islands. Elements of
Jungle Hunt had to be altered such as the design of the
Tarzanesque character and the signature Tarzan yell due to licensing issues with
Edgar Rice Burroughs estate.
Rainbow Islands had to alter its music for the re-release due to licensing. == Reception ==
