Taito Milestones 2

The second collection of 10 top titles from Taito! On board: classics like The NewZealand Story, Darius II and Kiki Kaikai.

After last year's Taito Milestones, there is now a new collection full of arcade classics from Taito. It's become a colorful mix of genres: from shoot-'em-ups and platformers to fighting games, there's something for all fans of arcade games.

This selection presents 10 major games, some of which laid the foundation for some of Taito's best franchises, such as the Miko action title Kiki Kaikai (known from Pocky & Rocky). But there's also room for some more exotic titles like the prehistoric fighting game Dino Rex. Of course, typical representatives of the colorful Taito platformer school such as The NewZealand Story and Liquid Kids are not to be missed.

Shoot-'em-up fans can also rejoice: they can try their hand at Gun Frontier, Metal Black and Darius II, three action-packed vertical side-scroller titles.
Taito Milestones 2 is a thoroughly rounded selection of games from the Taito forge, real pearls with guaranteed fun!
