TAITO LICENSED GAMES HARDWARE
[ BACK TO MAIN PAGE ] - [ TAITO HARDWARE PAGE ]
| HARDWARE DESCRIPTION |
Taito and TAMCO (Taito AMerica COrporation) bought the distribution rights to a great many games throughout it's existance. This was to distribute in America or Japan, as most of the smaller companies in Japan and the USA had no distribution arms in the eithers respective country, and Taito had a strong presence in both.
They are included in my list as they are, as far as anyone from the USA and Japan are concerned, from Taito, so to avoid confusion they are listed here, and I think its also important and useful to keep track of them as well ;)
Listed next to the year is which part of Taito distributed the game, and which company they licensed it from.

Notes : Difference between Twin Cobra and Kyukyoko Tiger:
T.C. supports two simultaneous players, K.T. supports two players, but only one at a time, for this reason, it also supports Table Top cabinets.
T.C. stores 3 characters for high scores, K.T. stores 6 characters for high scores.
T.C. heros are Red and Blue for player 1 and 2 respectively, K.T. heros are grey for both players.
T.C. dead remains of ground tanks are circular, K.T. dead remains of ground tanks always vary in shape.
T.C. does not use DSW1-1 and DSW2-8, K.T. uses DSW1-1 for cabinet type, and DSW2-8 for allow game continue.
T.C. continues new hero and continued game at current position, K.T. continues new hero and continued game at predefined positions. After dying, and your new hero appears, if you do not travel more than your helicopter length forward, you are penalised and moved back further when your next hero appears.
Due to this difference in continue sequence, Kyukyoko Tiger is MUCH harder, challenging, and nearly impossible to complete ! (Quench)
