Toaplan was established in 1979, but its gaming division wouldn't come into being until 1984. Its first two titles were Jongō (1984) and Performan (1985), but it was Tiger-Heli (also 1985) which put the firm on the map as a master of the shmup genre.

Moon Shuttle first entered the arcades in the early 80s and was available at the time as a standup cabinet, which could be played with one or two players (albeit not simultaneously). It is one of many space shooters released by the company during this period with "Moon" in the title and has often been compared to Konami's influential sidescroller Scramble, which was released the same year.

This thing look super stylish, and extremely polished. Let's hope they also made it fun to play!

More of a Commando-style run and gun than shmup, it is part of the great history of Toaplan arcade exclusives.

Too Much Coffee Man by Shannon Wheeler for September 27, 2024 - GoComics

FTA:

The collection will feature the Japanese and western versions of Raiden spin-offs Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive, and Raiden Fighters Jet, which were originally released in 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively, as well as remixed music.

Actual game line up, release dates, and targeted platforms have not been announced yet. In fact, other than the information stating that this release is actively being worked on, there's no other info at all.

I will be especially interested in all the ways this upcoming release will differ from the Raiden Legacy release that already exists, which features the original Raiden, Raiden Fighters 1, 2, and 3.
