Between 2005 and 2007, in total four similar compilations had been released by Taito for the PlayStation 2 in its home market of Japan:
- Taito Memories Volume 1 (タイトーメモリーズ 上巻 Taitō Memorīzu Joukan?)
- Taito Memories Volume 2 (タイトーメモリーズ 下巻 Taitō Memorīzu Gekan?)
- Taito Memories II Volume 1 (タイトーメモリーズ2 上巻 Taitō Memorīzu 2 Joukan?)
- Taito Memories II Volume 2 (タイトーメモリーズ2 下巻 Taitō Memorīzu 2 Gekan?)
The games on this compilation are emulations of their respective arcade originals; however, the software lacks light gun support for Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, and Space Gun. These games place a gun cursor on the screen, which the player can move around with the analog stick (console versions), or mouse (PC version). Taito Legends Download free Full Version.

Reception
Taito Legends received slightly positive reviews with a score of 74.06% for the Xbox version, 71.68% for thePlayStation 2 version, and 75.17% for the Windows version on GameRankings. IGN praised the collection for a superb presentation, as well as the large amount of bonus material, but criticized some titles in the collection as «worthless filler». Other criticisms are the lack of online leaderboards, the omission of Arkanoidand Chase H.Q., the lack of light gun support forOperation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, and Space Gun, the lack of control configuration, and for the controls being «flipped», making it potentially uncomfortable and unnatural to many, less-adaptable players. Only the Windows version fixes the error regarding the collection's control scheme. Taito Legends Game free Download Full Version.
