Toaplan is one of the companies most loved by some of the most veteran users who decades ago saw how, between 1984 and 1994, it created some of the most spectacular arcade games in the world, which were able to light up our games in the old halls. recreational games thanks to some shooters (so it was said then) that stood out for their graphics, music and, above all, gameplay.
Steam and GoG receive the classics
The fact is that accustomed to the premiere of big names such as Hogwarts Legacy , Dead Space Remake and many others, it is strange that titles such as those developed by Toaplan end up arriving on PC with such a delay, which has released four launches just a few hours ago. For the first time, players on computers with Windows, Mac and Linux will be able to get hold of these four classics that make up volume 1 of the Japanese company, now extinct but later revived in the hands of other managers.
It must be said, in any case, that although these four releases have been camouflaged under the name of Toaplan Arcade Collection Volume 1, it is not really a single pack since each of these classics is sold separately and, yes, at the same price. So all of you who want to get hold of them will cost you a total of 31.16 euros, that is, 7.79 per head.
Now, what are those wonders that you can finally enjoy on computers from now on? Well, take note: Twin Cobra , Truxton , Out Zone and Zero Wing .
Pure and hard-hitting martians
Of all the games that have just arrived on PC, surely the most desired is Truxton , a spectacular vertical scrolling shooter with a space setting that stands out above all for the weapons that we can accumulate and that culminate in a beam that covers practically the entire screen. It is one of those classic names, which you will also surely remember for a superb version for Mega Drive that was highly celebrated at the time.
Twin Cobra is not far off either, a title in which we drive a helicopter that has to cross a map infested with enemies , both on the ground and in the air, and which hit the arcades in 1987, a year before the aforementioned Truxton . Like Zero Wing , which is surely another of the jewels of the time, from 1989, which changed the vertical scroll to horizontal to create one of the funniest video games of those times along with other names like R-Type, etc.
Remember that in addition to these games for PC, Evercade launched last December for its consoles the first volume of a cartridge focused on Toaplan classics where you could enjoy two of these classics that are now coming to Steam, such as Truxton and Zero Wing , but which added such classic and superb names as Tiger Heli , Alcon , Guardian , Snow Bros , Flying Shark or Teki-Paki .
So now you know, if you want to binge on arcade classics from the late 80s and early 90s, go to Steam and start getting this Toaplan Arcade Collection Volume 1 that went on sale yesterday, today. of the lovers
