Toaplan Arcade 1
SCORE: 63
Hopefully you were able to join us for the slamming Rumble live
stream of Toaplan Arcade 1. As we get the money and time a video of each
game will appear on our different video sites. Toaplan Arcade 1 is the
eighth arcade cartridge on the Evercade systems. There are eight games
on this cartridge as well. A poster of Toaplan is also included with the
manual.
The games on Toaplan Arcade 1 are Tiger Heli, Truxton, Guardian, Zero
Wing, Alcon, Snow Bros, Flying Shark, and Teki Paki. There are five
shooters, two puzzle games, and one side scrolling platformer. Snow Bros
is one of the few games I heard of from the past. Teki Paki is one of my
favorite games on this Evercade cartridge. Violence is the main issue
families will have with Toaplan Arcade 1.
Out of the shooters I like Zero Wing the best. There are a couple of
reasons for that. First off we can continue after we die and not have to
start the entire level over again. I should be able to drop in quarters
and keep playing the game. Zero Wing gives us protection above and below
us. Those two objects also shoot so we get a triple shot all of the
time. There are different power ups that can be found in a lot of these
video games.
Snow Bros has players go through level after level until we get to a
boss. I love turning enemies into snowballs and rolling them toward the
other enemies. We can also join the snowball rolling and get away from
other enemies. Be careful if you take too long in a level. A tougher
enemy will appear and come after you. This enemy will respawn if they
are taken out. Guardian shows its age as we must take this guy and fight
against a lot of enemies. Sort of a Final Fight if it was done in the 2D
side scrolling format.
The music in Toaplan Arcade 1 is okay. Nothing really stuck out or got
stuck in my head. Plenty of explosion sounds can be heard in Toaplan
Arcade 1. Teki Paki is a fun block drop video game that allows for all
kinds of cool matches for the colored blocks to go away. I really like
Teki Paki. For me this game is one of the most stand out titles.
I am not a fan of shooters. Since the majority of the games on the
Toaplan Arcade 1 cartridge are shooters I am not it that much. It is an
interesting historical trip. There are some interesting comments from
two of the men behind these games in the manual for Toaplan Arcade 1.
