Favourite Taito releases?

[Llyw]

By far my favourite arcade game company, they’re a comfort developer for me (bonus points if you can mention the game my avatar is from).

They’re responsible for the obvious classics (Space Invaders, Bubble + Puzzle Bobble. Then there are the cult classics (New Zealand Story, Ninja Kids). Who could forget the Darius series, with a soundtrack that’s so ahead of its time it’s hugely slept on.

I’ll share some of my personal favourites, Bonze Adventure, Space Invaders 95, Cameltry, Runark, I could go on for way too long.

Let’s hear yours!

Great shout, they did a lot of great side scrolling beat-em-ups like this. Thunder Fox is another underrated one

Puzzle Bobble definitely, one of the only games that are still enjoyable on multiple platforms (amazing amount of good ports)

Power Blazer is pretty fun too

Puzzle Bobble

For my money, the king of the genre

Right you are. I’ve got it on everything from DOS to Steam, Sega Saturn to PS2. It’s available virtually everywhere these days

Big shout to Power Blazer. I consider myself a human Taito trivia machine & I have only heard of it recently!

I've got some fond memories of Bust-A-Move 4 on the PlayStation.
Little Samson on the NES, as well. Although I never did own a copy of that game, I have played it on hardware.
And of course, the Lufia duo on the Super Nintendo.

The avatar comes from Liquid Kids. I knew pretty much because I recently watched a video that mentioned the game. Not sure which one it was exactly, though...
