Invading Taito Part 2

TCW Podcast Episode 078 - Invading Taito Part 2   We go into part two of Taito.  We start off looking at Space Invaders which is arguably the highest point of success and fame for the company.  The company continued on with many notable hits in the following years.  They continued to survive despite not having a succession plan with the death of Michael Kogan.  The company was hurt by their delay in transitioning to 3d, and a lack of direction in regards to the home market.  Taito still lives today as a wholly owned subsidiary of Square-Enix.   Space Invaders arcade cabinet tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waY3svOHGGI Seinfeld Arcade Frogger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj3kXXIw02s Blue Shark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEzhHccmK0w Space Invaders Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7waFiZV0vf4 Galaxian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2NFboPZVdc Qix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNJSk6XilCk Jungle King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFKzPGRj9_g Jungle Hunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJbt_CUXrA4&t=779s Bubble Bobble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuXOSBb4hQw Arkanoid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTLyYclUL4E Breakout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW7Sg5pXAok&t= Taito Double Dragon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0LRZvyyW8 Lufia and the Fortress of Doom Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK4cMp34RcI Modern day Densha De Go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuEeUlJe9JE Densha De Go PlayStation + Controller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuxf5QhdWIo   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
