Toaplan Launches 25 Classic Arcade Games on Mobile

If you're a fan of classic shoot 'em ups, you'll want to dive into the newly released Amusement Arcade Toaplan on Android, brought to you by Tatsujin, a game publishing studio founded by Masahiro Yuge, a legend from Toaplan. Toaplan, a name synonymous with arcade shooters since its founding in 1979, has inspired countless games, and now, their legacy is celebrated with this mobile collection marking their 40th anniversary.

Amusement Arcade Toaplan brings 25 authentic arcade classics to your fingertips, offering the real arcade experience as it was originally intended. The crown jewel of this collection is the iconic shoot 'em up, Truxton (1988), which you can enjoy for free. Additionally, you can try demo versions of five other games: Tiger Heli, Wardner, Flying Shark, Snow Bros, and Teki-Paki. If you find yourself hooked, you have the option to purchase the full versions of these and other titles including Truxton II, Snow Bros. 2, Guardian, Slap Fight/Alcon, Twin Cobra, Rally Bike, Hellfire, Twin Hawk, Demon’s World, Zero Wing, Fire Shark, Out Zone, Vimana, Ghox, Fixeight, Dogyuun, Grind Stormer, Knuckle Bash, and Batsugun.

Amusement Arcade Toaplan isn't just about playing games; it's about creating your own virtual arcade. Each game you download appears as a mini arcade machine that you can arrange to your liking. Personalize your space further with chairs, potted plants, and even beds. The app also features visual filters to recreate the nostalgic CRT look, along with customizable settings for difficulty, extra lives, and an invincibility mode for those who want to enjoy the games without the risk of losing.
