Taito Legends will rewind gamers right back to their youth with titles such as Space Invaders, Operation Wolf, Bubble Bobble, Continental Circus and many more. To tease fans and give them a taster of what’s to come from the title the dedicated Taito Legends website www.taitolegends.com has now launched. The website aims to give hardcore retro gamers everything in a site they could want, as well as acting as the first point of reference for gamers new to the world of retro.

From the www.taitolegends.com home page you can access extensive game information on all the 29-featured Taito Legends titles, including screenshots and retro-cool images of the classic arcade machines that launched these titles back in the day.
