If you're a fan of classic shoot 'em ups, you'll want to dive into the new app from Tatsujin, a game publishing studio founded by Masahiro Yuge, a legend from Toaplan. Toaplan, a powerhouse in the arcade scene since 1979, inspired countless games with their iconic scrolling shooters.
To celebrate 40 years of Toaplan's legacy, Tatsujin has released Amusement Arcade Toaplan for Android. This mobile collection brings 25 authentic arcade classics to your fingertips, just as they were meant to be played.

It’s Your Virtual Arcade
Amusement Arcade Toaplan lets you create your own virtual arcade experience. Each game you download appears as a mini arcade machine, which you can arrange to your liking. Personalize your space with chairs, potted plants, and even beds.
For an authentic feel, the app includes visual filters to replicate the old-school CRT look. You can also adjust settings for difficulty, extra lives, and even enable an invincibility mode. If you're a retro arcade gaming enthusiast, explore this collection on the Google Play Store.
